YAHOO AUTOS
By Zach Doell
Many famous celebrities donate their time and money to help out current and returning US soldiers, but few do it quite as uniquely as Jay Leno.
The renowned car-a-holic and late-night funnyman teamed up with Al Roker on NBC’s Shine A Light campaign, and decided to award one special serviceman or woman a ride they wouldn’t soon forget … a ride in a 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat. After a random draw, US Army Corporal Ethan Laberge was selected.
Leno took Laberge and two friends off-base near Fort Campbell, Kentucky, to check out a few vintage muscle cars, at which point he sprung the Hellcat surprise. The duo set off down the road to wring out some of the Hellcat’s 707 horsepowers, apparently – as you’ll see – with the sheriff’s approval.
Though while riding side by side with Jay Leno is enough to make any test drive memorable, the funnyman didn’t stop there. The two took a break to have lunch, and after the drive Laberge noted how much he enjoyed the car. Leno replied, “It’s yours. America loves you.” Make sure to watch the video above; it’ll leave you grinning from ear to ear.
