364 of 368 CTS-V sighting by jacksr1 Nov 10, 2003 (1:18 pm)
When leaving Burbank airport Saturday, a platinum CTS-V passed in front of me, on Hollywood Way. It had MI manufacturer plates. I had just ordered the same car, so I caught up with it, to see if the driver would talk to me about it. When I gestured, hoping he'd roll down the passenger window, he did. I was astonished to be looking at Jay Leno. We had a "three red light" chat about the car. He was totally gracious and spoke very well about the car. He acknowledged it was a pre-production car provided him by GM, that it had real good power--which he demonstrated, probably in third gear--and said "you're gonna love the handling." Thw whole encounter was a double treat, and both Mr. Leno and the car looked great.

Very cool. Not only did you get to see a great car but a famous person was driving it!

He is a great guy. I had had the honor of having a private tour of his personal car collection/garage at the burbank airport a few years ago and then sat is his personal seats that he reserves for friends and family at his show. After the show we had the chance to meet and have our picture taken with him on stage by the NBC studios photographer. They sent all the photos to me about 2 weeks later. I only wish I could remove me exgirlfriend from the picture.
