Someone else had just posted on here yesterday but with Jay's black 93' almost same video, that's what he does with all his cars (he makes you feel like he's just one of the guys in your car club & its the best car in the world) at least he seems to do some homework on them before he shoots the videos (he's usually about 85% right on most of the things he says) seems like a great down to earth guy, but I'm sure Conan would have a few things to add to that.

I think he whiffed on the tire sizes but very cool nonetheless...

Anyone else get the impression Jay knew all along that the Viper wasn't really going out of production? Or do you think he was really just guessing?

Jay is probably already on an informal celebrity list for a gen5.

Funny that when Jay was walking down the assembly line and did an interview at the start of it the first thing that popped into my mind was Viper Magazine Summer 96' with all the GTS's. Wonder if that photo was taken at the same time.

You know Jay got the 2nd Viper made, black '93 model I believe, his words not mine (behind Bob Lutz, I think thats his name, Dodge head honcho) He said they told him he got the first but really Bob got the first, but he didn't really mind.

I believe he has the 2nd black viper ever made, as there are quite a few '92 vipers out there... and his being a '93, would be impossible for his to be the 2nd Viper made. Just sayin' is all.

pretty cool video

Funny how he opens the drivers door, as he says "Lets open the hood"! He said that CAAP built his 1955 Packard. That would not be the case, as before the Viper, the building that is now CAAP used to be a Champion spark plug factory, and opened in 1966, long after his old beloved baby was built. He says he has the Corsa exhaust on it, but those tips look otherwise, unless Corsa had a different style at one point.

Jay must have other things to do, besides be an automotive historian, or take dozens of hours to research and smooth out production of his videos. Like making millions of dollars. I'd certainly trade jobs with him!



Viper owner since 2001

if I had HIS money, I'd buy TONS of cars too

Great Video thanks for sharing. My favorite comments:

"Competition makes everyone better."
"There a lot of plastic in this car, just like women in Hollywood, and they both look great.

Sorry about that mis-info, thanks for settin' the record straight Nitro!

Jay is not just a car nut. What sold me on his "Jay's Garage" thing was his steam engine....


Well, his cars are cool too..

 

[DrumrBoy]

I'd certainly trade jobs with him!

If you did though, the show might actually be funny.....

I wonder why he never acquired a Gen 3 or 4. He has newer vettes but no Viper since 96.
