BZZZZTTT! It was a Stanley that tried to kill him.
The Doble has a sparkplug for ignition.
The video on Jay's website is EXCELLENT. Amazing car.

Jay Leno has one of those.  There was a show about it, he about singed 
his face lighting the thing off -- it uses gasoline and you have to 
stick a long match in it to start the fire.  But it did warm up very 
fast and move off quickly, seemed to have plenty of torque/power for 
acceleration and speed.  I recall him saying they had to build a new 
boiler for it as the original was completely shot.  It was not too big,
 
maybe like half a garbage can size.
