Leno's 100 Year Old Car Did *Not* Go Up in Smoke

Idjit headline writer goes for the sensationalism...

Jay Leno's Hundred-Year-Old Car Goes Up in Smoke - Yahoo! TV Blog



Very cool that Jay got it running himself in about 30 minutes... no surprise on that, though... as has been said here many times, he's a true car guy and knows his stuff.

Those IROC cars are so cool looking, like the monochromatic thing a lot on P cars

I've still got the old Car & Driver somewhere with them on the cover and an article inside covering the race at Daytona.
