Better (Leno driving 2010 Camaro SS)

I'd really love to see Jay stop doing comedy shows for old people, and start doing awesome car shows.

He's like Jeremy Clarkson, but less of a xenophobic asshole (I love top gear, but part of it's draw it how big of an ass Clarkson is). Leno could still be funny and engaging without being a jerk to everyone.

Leno is also very down to earth. Like his thoughts on his own recent hospitalization, he was embarrassed. "Poor people don't get exhausted. Only rich people get exhausted."

A Jay Leno car show would be awesome.

Be nice if they could put the front wheels into a more conventional position(within the body). Seems to work well though.

They keep them out there for stability. If they put them in the body it makes it tippy, and if they expand the body to the wheels it makes it less slippery.

I think the design works. It's designed to passenger car safety standards.

I figured that would be the reason. I suppose making the car wider would add too much weight and probably screw up the aerodynamics.
