He could just move to Mississippi or one of the other handful of states that don't have any vehicle inspections. Hell, we have Cruisin' The Coast coming up soon, I bet people would love to see Leno's rides.
Not like most of his classic vehicles are meant as daily drivers anyways.
Yes, a billionaire could move to a shithole state, but why would they?
Because people can do damn near whatever the fuck they want with their classic vehicles here, and Jay Leno has many classic vehicles.
I’m pretty sure billionaires like living in a society too.
Everyone lives in a society, even in Mississippi.
Although Mississippi doesn't have nearly as many skyscrapers or mansions as California, we actually do have good decent housing around, even for the rich that own way more vehicles than anyone but a museum deserves to have.
Contrary to popular opinion, most Mississians don't live in mud huts or tents.
Mississippi is in the bottom 5 of nearly every state ranking. It’s just not a place anyone should want to live.
No shit, ya don't say huh?
We got rent here ~$200 a month, water included. Can't say that about most of the other states huh?
You think billionaires are living on a budget where $200 versus $2000 is a notable difference?
I'm no billionaire, and I assume you probably aren't either.
But if you got a huge garage slap full of extremely valuable antique vehicles, that all suddenly need emissions inspection, despite them only basically being driven once a year or for testing or an event or something, then why wouldn't someone with such a collection of rare and antique vehicles not want to move to a more chill state?
It's impossible to make many of his classic vehicles to ever meet emissions standards, but at the same time he doesn't drive them everyday either.
Mississippi and a handful of other states are reasonably chill about such things. Like if you have an antique tag (vehicle 25 years old or older), you're only allowed to drive it once a month or so.
With his collection of vehicles (which may as well be a museum of its own already), those vehicles need to be driven every few months or so, even if only for a few miles, to sling the oil and fluids around and keep the parts from locking up.
Yeah yeah, Jay is stupid rich, but he's also maintaining a functioning chunk of automotive history. Nobody expects those antique cars on the road every single day, but sometimes they need to breathe..
Keep dreaming, bud. I’m sure Leno would move to another state eventually if there’s really no way forward. But there’s no way in hell it will be to Mississippi 🤣
This article might be a little dated, but not all that long ago in recent history...

Guess what? Mississippi has casinos, beaches, and tourists!
Ain’t no way in hell, man. Good luck though.
He could also move just his cars. Flying from LA to Reno can't take more than a couple hours.
