If you're going to be the world's most famous collector of antique cars, then you have to be prepared for some public breakdowns. That's what Jay Leno learned last weekend, when his red hot-rod started smoking on a street in Encino, California, forcing him to pull over.

RadarOnline.com reports that "The Tonight Show" host's 1907 White Steam Car started smoking in the summer heat, causing Leno to stop the rare, 30-horsepower vehicle (according to Wikipedia, there are only about 150 remaining in the world) in front of a Chili's restaurant as paparazzi took shots and bystanders ran to get water and a fire extinguisher for the comedian, who was able to get the car up and running in about half an hour.

This isn't the first time Leno's love of old cars has been a bit of an inconvenience. A blogger snapped a photo of Leno with his broken-down 1963 Porsche on Mulholland Drive back in May. Jay even seems to be wearing the exact same denim shirt-and-jeans combo in both photos. The man does love denim!

A local lends Leno a hand.
