No tire kickers! I know what I got!

I envy his innocence.

My thinking as well. The rest is just sort of par for the boomer course. That’s not really a dig, it’s just that most of it isn’t super interesting. I’d take that orange Challenger in a heartbeat, though!

It could alert other owners of 115 year old steam cars of a potential issue. Maybe the NTSB will want a recall.

Because this is a car and auto-enthusiasts’ website and if it wasn’t mentioned, we’d all be asking. Knowing what car lets us paint a picture of what happened, what the fuel lines would’ve looked like, where he was in his shop, what era of fuel delivery he was dealing with...

The car may have been converted to run on gasoline in the past if that wasn’t the initial fuel source. I know from watching a couple of his videos that Leno adores his steam cars and takes a lot of pride in keeping them up. He made major upgrades to the brakes of one of them because the effortless steam acceleration…

I thought it was pretty well known that Leno was a big tinkerer, and largely maintained his own cars - where he could. Obviously specialty stuff (I think he has an F1) would go to the Pros - but for everything else, he’s elbows deep under the hood.

I don’t know, it’s in incredible shape for a 138-year-old car. That’s only like 500 miles per year.

“1884"?

I don’t mind wrenching on car; that doesn’t mean I want to buy it from a tool.

I’ve worked in a few factories on the production floors. They are not nice places in both cultures and physical environment and management will never care.

For the rarity of a GT I say it’s worth a chance on the rust and worst case scenario I know there are more then a few owners who would take it off your hands with either the money to fix it properly or as a parts car. I have an early 1974 MK II. I picked it up at the beginning of the pandemic when things were a lot…

Among the things I don’t want to deal with on a project car, rust is at the top of the list.

So back in college, I worked for a summer job at the Corps of Engineers, which I called the Corpse of Engineers, because that group was actually all accountants and the like.

And never forget: Anytime a plane goes from flying to not-flying is a landing, if you’re optimistic enough.

Wonder if that low level landing also had a high rate of speed.

You magnificent bastard.
