Jay Leno Auctions Car for USO that Brings Over $500,000

I'm a big fan of whoever goes out of their way to help our past and present members of the military. Jay Leno is one of those who goes above and beyond to show his appreciation.

Jay Leno is one of many with more money than he knows what to do with, but has no problem showing how grateful he is at having the freedom to do what he has done. That includes putting together one of the biggest car collections I know of.

I wouldn't have these things if it was not for the men and women in the armed forces. It's one of those freedoms that we take for granted a little bit, and since I didn't serve, I should give a little bit more - Jay Leno

Leno was referring to one of his personal cars he auctioned off on Saturday, January 17 in Scottsdale, Arizona. His 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 was listed at $80,000, but when the gavel dropped, the car fetched a cool $360,000. On top of that, two other bidders kicked in another $200,000.

100% of the proceeds go directly to the USO (U.S. service members) to help members of our U.S. Armed Forces worldwide.
