Jay Leno mentions McLaren F1 in Popular Mechanics

[ExoticSpotting]

I was flipping through the May issue of Popular Mechanics and I noticed that there was an article by Jay Leno in which he discuses how car collectibility will change in the future. There are two paragraphs where he talks about his F1.

"About 10 years ago, I had the chance to buy a Mclaren F1.
A new one was almost a million dollars. This was a secondhand
car with less than 2500 miles, and it was $800,000. I thought, its
crazy to spend that much money on a car. So I talked it over with
my wife. And she said, "You've worked hard. If you want to get it.
Get it." And I thought, ohhh... kaaay! So I bought it.
Last year a McLaren F1 sold at auction for $4.1 million! I now
realize this is the greatest investment I've ever made. In less than
ten years I more than quintupled my money. Best of all, I have a car
I really enjoy. But there are plenty there are plenty of modern cars
you can buy at real-world prices that are fun to own."

I just thought it was an interesting article.

He always has a good word to say about his Mclaren. He is a regular feature writer in Octane Magazine, and most months he quotes his F1 somewhere in the article.
