"This is one of the downsides to living in a free country..." 😅

Admittedly, it's a bit cringy, but still fun enough.

That noise...
 
The one thing which prevents this from being in the cargabe thread is that they welded the wheel openings and continued the chrome strip at the bottom. That's dedication.

Nice video, but Leno especially has a "grandpa walked out of the nursing home again" vibe by now... :(

He also had a couple of accidents in the last few years that have taken their toll on him. Hell, the motorcycle accident could have killed him. It's just by an inch or so that it didn't.

So he may be old (74) and a bit slow these days, he is still pretty sharp with a few passions to keep him going.
 
Was gonna say, taking into account that he's 74 and was literally on fire not that long ago he's doing quite well.

EDIT: A second look actually has me noticing James seems to be aging with somewhat less grace. Maybe it's the hair. Maybe it's that the “slowness” is now less quirky and more considered.

Then again, maybe it's the fact that I never imagined I would see him do a press tour around LA selling gin.
