He has posted on his Stanley Steamers before. I've ridden in one at the
museum in DE and saw an early model steam up from scratch. It was not
really dramatic at all...no flashes of flame. Leno just reveals he is not
at all sure of how to handle his own car. And yes, they ran quietly and
well too.

I was 16. It was surprisingly easy to drive, and not that different from
modern cars with manual transmissions. The second oldest vehicle that I've
driven was a 1959 Ford F100 pickup truck.

driven were '62 (a Sprite I helped restore and a Taunus)... now I have
a desire I didn't know I had. I did drive my brother's 2/3 scale '50s
replica of a 1903 Olds (Cushman powered).
