That was sweet and I agree, drive the car.  I love that he drives it and not just onto a trailer.  Burnout to begin with and I loved the quote "do you see the Mustang that has been tailing me, we just have to blow him off"

He drove that car to a Fall Fling mopar show in Van Nuys CA years ago. IIRC, just after he got it. There were rumors that Garth Brooks gave it to him. It has Oklahoma plates. Not a trailer queen, but solid nice car.

BTW, the custom advertising painting behind that particular car in his garage is an adaptation of the full page yellow 72? Challenger Rallye ad with the yellow car going around the mountain. But in his painting they changed it to his orange 70 RT/SE and changed the text. Most of the cars have 15 feet or so tall hand paintings behind them that are adaptations of vintage car ads to fit his cars.

IMHO, the paintings are as impressive as the cars. They are really trick If you go to shows and museums, you'll see cars similar to his in value, rarity, and sometimes uniqueness. But, no one has paintings like his!! The decoration and size of his place has come a long way since 1997 when I first saw it.

Yeah, I know this is an old thread but just wanted to post a few pictures I found on Flickr.  Like some here said it's great that he drives his cars and sometimes to work.   Here are a few shots of his 70 Challenger parked at NBC Studios.   :thumbsup:

I saw an episode of Jays Garage and he did state that Garth Brooks bought the car for him. He seemed to split his time between giving praise to the car and punking it at the same time. He has a soft spot for it but you can tell its definitely not in his top 10

He talks like that about a lot of cars.He loves the old cars but knows they are somewhat archaic compared to what we drive today.

i did his cruise in my 71 challenger ... but i took a different route .. i went from Vanowen down to San Fernando Way to victory Blvd. and back home ... i wanted to get on the freeway but it was dark and we had just finished the Chally so i didnt want to run it too hard ... its a nice mini cruise ...

Man, it must be nice to be rich!

Anybody else notice the grille is painted wrong? (The back two ribs should be shiny and the bottom should be black.)

Power drum brakes on a Hemi car? SCARY!  :scared:

Still a VERY nice car.  :thumbsup:
