Question for the So-Cal fellas
 

I watched quite a few Jay Leno Garage videos this rainy weekend, and I wonder how often you guys that live in LA see Jay "going for a drive"
There's dozens of these videos, so it must be pretty common to see him and his camera car out putting something fun through it's paces, right?

He seems like he's pretty friendly out there on the road!

I see him about once every 2 weeks. His cars are by Burbank airport and I see him driving on San Fernando Road or Sunland/ Vineland. Always waves.

I live in the OC, pretty far from jay's garage and still see him at least once a year. Usually as some sort of car event.

Last time I saw him, it was at Autobooks/Aerobooks, a store in Burbank.

I probably see him once or twice a year. Twice while waiting outside The Old Place for a breakfast table. The best sighting was a couple years ago when my wife's mother came out from Charleston, SC. We were in Burbank leaving Porto's when he drove by slowly in a rusty old steam car. He waved at my mother-in-law as he chugged by at about 15 mph.

I want to be adopted by Jay.

He is such a cool car guy. Not just car's but anything mechanical. He has the best toys!

Only seen him once. Was very friendly and loves to talk anything cars.

I've never seen him filming but I've seen him maybe a half dozen times. I'm sure if I hung around the Rock Store longer than I do that I could see him more often (he's usually up there mid day while I come in the morning). I've seen the tank car and the jet bike.

Man that's no joke. Some of those massive old steam engines are awesome. I'd love to spend a few days at his shop, way enter than most museums I'm sure!

LA is a big place so I don't see him out on the road. I did get invited to tour his garage last year and that was a kick. He was very friendly and his car collection is jaw-dropping.

True, true, but it's my observation (or maybe it's an assumption) that Angelinos are willing to drive great distances on a whim.

We do like to drive and I am sure we cover some of the same fun routes. The guys who tend to see him out on the road live on the west side or Burbank area near his shop.

I used to see him up near the Rock Store on Mulholland. Very nice guy.

he's often up at the Rock Store and Mulholland Dr. I do know he likes to drive up LaTuna Canyon when he films. I often ride my bike up laTuna, but never seem to see him. Maybe he's going too fast:)

I've seen him quite a few times; at the Rock Store, at the Mobil station, the 5 Freeway...
He's very friendly.

I once saw him at the Dana Point 356 car show.

2-3 times a year, now. I lived on Mulholland Drive in the mid-80s/90s and saw him at least once a month, always driving something interesting.

Long ago, I visited the Big Dog Garage with the Norton Owners Club. He was friendly, but got burned out kinda fast after somebody gave him a hard time about his Cobra replica and left in his 18 liter monstrosity.

When I lived in Beverly Glen canyon back in the '80s/early '90s, I'd see him at the Glen Center on Mulholland or driving almost every weekend. He obviously was working during the week, fooling around on weekends like most people. He lives just a mile or two up the road.

And yes, he really is that nice and friendly. It's just who he is.

I used to consult to NBC and saw him most days I was there. Very friendly guy.

I've met Seinfeld a couple times, exactly opposite.
Very private and shy, hides from crowds and strangers.

No, it wasn't just me ;)
