Excellent. Jay is a stand up guy. He owns a boat load of cars and could have just as easily said no thanks. It was a good fair review. Thanks, Jay. And you too, "E"!

I agree, this was a very positive presentation and he was honest about the problem areas he saw without being critical.

I enjoyed his take on Americans viewpoint regarding *big fat cars* and the obvious protection benefit *myth* they've enjoyed for many years. He handled that one with typical Leno style.

That is awesome....

So what is everyone's guess... was this a favor called in from Roger? I doubt Jay called them up and said, "Hey, bring it to me!"

I doubt Jay owes anyone a favor, he is just such a car nut that it more than likely peeked his interest.
