When Jay Leno breaks down, he rolls up the sleeves and gets down to business. That's no joke.
RadarOnline.com caught The Tonight Show host in Los Angeles over the weekend, as his 1907 White Steam Car went up in smoke.
The Labor Day weekend's triple digit temperatures were just too much for Leno's pimped up ride which came to a sputtering stop in the middle of a busy Encino street.
"The car's engine just started smoking in the heat and it looked like it was catching fire," one onlooker told us.
"Ironically, Jay pulled over in front of a Chili's Restaurant!"

After about half-an-hour, Leno was able to get his car running again and he promptly sped away.
