Landlords at a swanky Malibu shopping mall are at war with Jay Leno, Jerry Seinfeld, and their car enthusiast friends who say they're being treated like the 'MS-13 of Malibu' for their weekly car gathering after word got out, according to a report.
For years, the legendary comedians would meet with fellow vintage Porsche-loving pals - including attorney Paul Zuckerman and writer Spike Feresten - every Sunday for breakfast at the Malibu Kitchen in the Malibu Village plaza, The Los Angeles Times reported.
Their lowkey ritual went under-the-radar until the pandemic, when hundreds of fellow motorheads with nothing better to do began jamming up the center's parking lot on Sundays.
Landlords began protesting the shows, saying the exotic cars were overtaking the blacktop, and creating safety hazards.
'We've been doing this for 15 years,' Zuckerman told the Los Angeles Times. 'But suddenly we're like the MS-13 of Malibu.'

The small weekly ritual had snowballed into a battle between car enthusiasts, landlords, and police were called in to control the situation.
Malibu Village's landlords began hiring private security to police the convoy of cars until mid-morning, but when the barricades were lifted before lunchtime, a crush of vintage cars would cruise in, the outlet reported.
