<VV> Jay Leno's video greeting from the Corsa convention

[Brent Fullard]

I had the exact same reaction 
about Jay's mechanic. However he seems to have changed his smug attitude after he had completed the Corvair engine rebuild. Obviously at that point he came to realize that there was more to these Corvairs engines that 
he had (wrongly) assumed. Hard to fault someone who has the capacity to change their minds when all the facts come in.
