    My friend at Mercedes-Benz of Westmont was telling me about a man named Frank Wright. He told me all of the people that he works with know who the guy is, and he's really rich. Well long story short he supposedly owns a Veyron, Enzo, and Maybach 62 (along with many others I'm sure but those are the only ones my friend told me about), and he also bought something like ten Maybach 57's for his close friends and family. Now I don't know if this is all true, or partially true, or my friends co-workers messing with him since he's the newest guy there so I'm just posting this up for some possible verification. I have only seen one Enzo in the western suburbs. It was parked in front of Continental Ferrari/Maserati in Hinsdale with the driver's door open(awesome), and that was two Thanksgivings ago. I also recently saw a Maybach 62 one night on County Line Road so I'm assuming if he owns a 62 and lives in Burr Ridge that was him. Anyway, to get to the point of the thread, if this is all true have any of you met him and can verify anything I've said? I can't wait for spring to hopefully see his Veyron or Enzo cruising around the suburbs!

    Edit: sorry if this guy has been talked about to death on here I am not a very frequent visitor.

    Just tell your buddy to take it all in stride. No harm, no foul, [W]right?

    Practical jokes are a must - and he'll get to keep a straight face telling the same crap to the next guy who joins the team...

    {{{{{flashback}}}}}
    Back when I built cabinets in late 70's, we sent one guy out for a bunch of crap... including two on one Friday:
    Board Stretchers
    [he came back from hardware store, pissed]
    "Aw, Gene, we're sorry, really..."
    [then a couple of installers came back, heard about it... then the Foreman sent him out for...]

    Bubbles for Levels
    [he came back from same hardware store, livid. I mean. just. gone. livid]
    We. laughed. our. asses. off.
    }}}}}flashback{{{{{

    *Cracks up* See? It's still funny. *Cracks up* I'm laughin' my ass off nearly 30 years later, I'm tellin' ya!

    As with most rumors, you heard some things true and some things false.

    His name is not Wright. His family does have multiple Maybachs, but not 10 of them. He does have a black Veyron. Don't expect to see them driving around much in Burr Ridge. He's a busy guy and doesn't get to drive them often. Also, between him and his son, they own, or have owned at some point, just about every exotic you can imagine. Definetly one of the top three collections in the Midwest.
