i find myself sleeping through a lot of his reviews because he goes into so much unnecessary detail. But seeing as how this is my favorite car of all time and i'll never have a shot of even sitting in one, I'm glad he made it feel like i was there with him.

You know what...I actually loved that video. And hearing Jay Leno talk about ownership was very interesting.

They deserve a day off from time to time as well...besides, it's about the McLaren F1 - this should be on the cover of Time.

Is there some magazine or newspaper version of the forum? Every new thread is front page even if it's about whacking off.

Strangely enough, the unnecessary detail is his differentiator and the ONLY potential value-add to his reviews over others on YouTube. Otherwise, he can be a bit annoying and it's hard to stop staring at his tongue when he speaks. LOL but kudos to him either way for making a living off his passion and doing what he enjoys. Don't hate the player!

Just more dumbing down of the world I guess. . . Sad.
haha, a while back, bimmerpost went through the same phase with the dry videos posted by Saabkyle.

nah, the guy that needs to be put out of business is Saabkyle04. I would pay money to watch Leno honk the horn of a car at exactly 1:40 into the video and show us how the windows roll down shortly afterwards....

Confirmed it in this video. I assumed it was an insurance thing and I was right.

Jay's policy only covers him, and Doug didn't want to risk crashing a 20million dollar car with his policy that only covers 1-2 million.

Not hating at all. I love the guy. He's so popular anyone with an interesting car would love to have their featured in one of his videos. What I'm saying is I love his feedback from behind the wheel that I really don't give a damn about every little light bulb and switch and stitching in the carpet. Tell what it feels like to drive. I wish he almost spent more time behind the wheel.
