Jay Ward is the Creative Director of Franchise at Pixar Animation Studios in Emeryville, California, with several Formula One, MotoGP and NASCAR legends on speed dial. He's a car and motorcycle buff whose expertise takes him worldwide to judge at concours competitions. No stranger to a wrench himself, Jay managed the parts department of a Bay Area Harley-Davidson dealership after art school before his jump into show business almost 25 years ago.

In this episode, Jay describes his introduction to motorcycles and cars, making his way into Pixar, and how his deep knowledge of four wheels caught the attention of the top brass, catapulting Jay into the Pixar stratosphere and up the creative ladder.

Jay explains his past and current stable of motorcycles and scooters, how he resurrected and acquired a 1976 Porsche 911S from a kind neighbor, brings us behind the scenes with last year’s record-setting Sally Special Porsche Carrera auction, his recent acquisition of a rare aluminum-bodied 1953 Austin-Healey 100 with a Chevy V8 wedged under the bonnet, and what he hopes to accomplish in 2023. All this, including some encouraging digs on Gary for his never having been to Disneyland.
