His Wiki page needs to be updated with this addition

Since he is 66 he fits the core buyer profile, unlike gengar and 07

I am surprised why Jay Leno does not have one? He loves exotic cars like the LFA. He has a Porsche Carrera GT, Enzo, MacLaren SLR, Ford GT etc.

I was not aware of that. He usually picks all of the limited edition cars and Enzo is a valued one.

I am surprised he never buys a Ferrari:

I need a "restricted" parking spot at work.

Before I absolved myself of any ties to CA, I used to have a place right near Oracle HQ. Didn't know the CEO was such a collector.

Note it's another Config III. Penetration is huge.

The flush look is the only reason Lexus offered no winglets as an option, from what I understand. I wonder how much aerodynamic difference there is.
