Ask Jay: Ferraris, Rust, Safety & Tools

July 22, 2010 12:00 AM

Ever wonder why Jay doesn't own a Ferrari? Or what kind of tools he uses at the garage? Answers to these burning questions and more in this week's installment of Ask Jay.

Joe365 asks:
On several occasions you've said you don't own Ferraris, yet we often see one (a 208?) in the background. Can you tell us about it?


Ben D. asks:
What other cars would you recommend and what tools, materials and skills should the average person pick up to work on a car project?


Chris Edwards asks:
Can you tell us how you prevent/fight/treat rust on vehicles?


Alan Kinas asks:
When are you finishing the Merlin-powered roadster?


Mitchw23 asks:
Let's talk about weight, Jay. Cars carry around a lot of safety equipment that adds heft. But is this really the reason they weigh so much?
