You can bet that NBC is breathing a sigh of relief. After his departure from the "Tonight" Show, the network execs don't have to sweat Jay getting hurt riding or driving his collector cycles and cars. Nice first post-show piece, driving that Dakar Rally car! It had to be good for Jay not to have a cluster of network nannies following him around for fear he would blow the whole franchise by getting hurt.

Jay has always been a classy guy, and going out the way he did, on top, was a credit to his career. Now he gets to concentrate on conventions and comedy club appearances, but mostly he will be able to spend more time with his collection. Nice way to retire!

Nissan's design innovators reached out through social networks for input from "digital natives" when creating the futuristic ultra-sporty NISMO.
I should have made this "official" thread.

That 918 is stealing my heart lately. It was just on Top Gear, and now Leno's Garage, I can't get enough!
