Episode Description from the Publisher

Jay Leno stops by the SCR Garage to talk supercars, Secret Service snipers, and how he accidentally became a registered arms dealer. We review the Lotus Emira Turbo SE, and debate canyon carving ethics, the death of late-night TV, and what it takes to hit 210 mph on an Air Force runway. ______________________________________________ 🛠️ RaceDeck - Transform Your Garage Get 15% off garage flooring! https://RaceDeck.com/SCR 🛞 Vredestein - Car, SUV, Van, and Light Truck Tires Demand a better tire.

In this episode, he breaks down his latest haul: the Corvette ZR1, McLaren W1, Mustang GTD, and the wild 3D-printed Czinger 21C. He explains why the best cars today don't need ads, just a YouTube video and word of mouth. Jay also gets into what it was like hosting "Jay Leno's Garage" with President Joe Biden, complete with rooftop snipers, a custom Sheffield watch color-matched to Biden's '67 Corvette, and Hunter Biden showing up for ice cream. Jonny Lieberman brings a proper review of the Lotus Emira Turbo SE: AMG engine, fixed DCT programming, and enough British quirks to fill a whole segment. The group debates Porsche Boxsters, EU speed-limit beepers, and hidden phone chargers engineered for Chinese regulations. Jay also shares why he turned down a dramatic film role, what's in his apocalypse go-bag, and how a visit from the King of Jordan left him legally classified as an arms dealer. _____________________________________________ 📧 To advertise with Spike’s Car Radio, contact Neon Tiger Media: contact@neontiger.media 🌐 or visit: https://scrpod.com/sponsor Produced by Skyview Entertainment & Q6 Media https://q6.media ______________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 - Introducing Jay Leno 01:32 - Joe Biden's Corvette Stingray 06:53 - Jay's new cars 14:43 - Jay's Corvette ZR1X 22:11 - Jay's TANKS 27:35 - Why Jay bought a Czinger 21C 35:33 - Lotus Emira Turbo SE review 45:12 - Things we'll never get rid of 47:32 - Denim 48:08 - The Tonight Show 53:50 - Jay's thoughts on "Don't Cross the Mustard" 56:28 - The death of late night 58:42 - Watches Learn more about your ad choices.
