15mins of fame, well thats how the old adage goes any way. Last week was out in California on vacation, and we had just left Universal Studios and where walking down the street in Universal City and was approach by a man that identified himself as a produce for the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. He asked where we where from and what we did, and I guess from us all being from out of town had its appeal to him. He said great! and ask us if we wanted to be on the show that they where getting ready to film a episode of Jay Walking. So of course I could not pass up the opportunity and said yes as well did my brother.

So if you want to see your fellow forum member make a fool of himself, I was told it will air January 9th.

My wife,daughter,Jay and myself.

That's really cool!  Maybe you'll get "discovered"!

Did you ask Jay of he had an SHO in one of his warehouses full of cars?  That's awesome.  Hopefully you got some of the questions right.

Yea, that is pretty cool.....

I wonder if Jay autographed the hood of your SHO, how much it would've increased in value?

That would be awesome.

I don't know about you, but having Jay Leno show me his car collection is on my bucket list. What's so cool about Jay is that he likes to get his hands dirty and actually work on his cars.

Respect!!!

Funny you should ask, I know for  a fact he has a SHO, he has had it for years. It's a SHO-Gun

Quicksilver....Thanks for reminding us how much can be done with so little!  A landmark car with a SHO engine.

Here's an article on his 1989 300HP Ford Festive SHOgun with NOS  for those interested.

People... that's a 1989 Festiva with 0 - 60 in 4.6 seconds and doing a quarter mile in 12.9 at 100 mph! :rock:

Great photo with the fam, Crash!  Leno always had a soft spot for the SHO :)  Don't know if he keeps up with the current gen, but I think he'd be pretty happy to have one of these too!

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

BigMac: You can put the 19th in your agenda, but if you want to see Chris, put the 9th ;)

Chris: Very nice my friend!!! At first I thought you were joking and that you made that all up and went to a wax museum lol.
Please recall us the day before to make sure we don't miss you.
Cheers and Happy Holidays to all!
