    Default Jay Leno to be honored with La Bella Macchina Award

    http://www.autoblog.com/2009/05/29/j...acchina-award/

    Automotive aficionado and all-around cool dude Jay Leno – today celebrating his last night has host of The Tonight Show – is set to receive the "La Bella Macchina" award this August at the 24th Annual Concorso Italiano. One of the highest honors in automotive circles, the award signifies outstanding contributions and a passion for the automotive industry. Previous recipients have included Sergio Pininfarina, Phil Hill and Carroll Shelby.

    Concorso owner Tom McDowell summed up Mr. Leno well:
    "Jay is the international face of the ultimate car guy and has been an enthusiastic ambassador for the hobby for more than 30 years. With his own large collection ranging from Lamborghinis and jet powered motorcycles to Duesenbergs and a tank-engined 30-foot hot rod, Jay's eclectic taste knows no boundaries, other than making sure it has four wheels and a great history.

    QFT. Still don't see why he didn't host an American car show of his own though, dammit.

    Jay is easily my favorite car guy. He doesn't prefer one brand over the other, he just loves all things automotive. I'd love to meet the guy and go for a walk through his garage.

    wow that is quite an accomplishment, even for Jay, to get this award. That and almost right after he resigns his Television career.

    He has expressed in the past that he preferred to keep his occupation and hobbies separate. While it would be really cool to see him with his own show, i understand his view. And even still, he will most likely keep doing his online commentary and videos (which is like a show in itself).

    He's not stopping TV, he'll be back in Sept with a 10pm show on NBC. I guess we'll have to wait and see what its about. The one promo for the show that I saw had him driving a classic Corvette....

    Not only does Jay have the cars, he's now "retired" so he can enjoy them all day long!

    I heard he will be doing a "prime time" show.


    I saw him on the 405 freeway today here in S. Cali. In the San Fernando Valley area. He was driving a Z06 Corvette.

    Jay is a car guy that everyone should look up to. He is truly a "Car Enthusiast" meaning he can appreciate any and every car for what it is.

    QFT!

    Kindof unfair though, as its a lot easier to have varied automotive interests when you have a near infinite pocketbook to buy toys with, lol!
