They just have deep pockets and "a guy" that maintains their collection. In general, cars are just Legos and they come a part pretty easily. There's nothing inherently special about how a 458 comes a part vs an Altima. I find that pulling a part and working on my Cayman is easier than my wife's 4Runner.

I get that most people have no desire or time to work on their cars. That's fine.
Jay Leno is a real car guy. And an exception to the rule.
