    I think Grady is the only one I know in Houston, but says there are 3 others.

    I think that's the first time Jalopnik didn't steal a news article from FerrariChat.

    I'll check tomorrow, but that's not Grady's normal stomping grounds. I have an idea who it might be, but I'd prefer not to guess.

    I'm sure there's more, lots of big oil families that travel back & forth from Mexico, Central & South America, etc..

    I think its funny they find it surprising how many F40s there are in Houston.

    I don't believe its Gradys.

    Not me. There are 7 or 8 F40's in Houston. The one that was wrecked belonged to a very low key individual who has owned many Ferrari's in the past. To confirm, it was wrecked yesterday morning but not where the other website (Jalopnik) states wreck occurred. At the owner / driver wishes does not want this incident and facts surrounding the accident on a public forum. It is a very sad situation for those involved.

    So you're saying it isn't George Foreman? Our tipster says the guy crashed into a building.

    The F40 can be fixed; the important thing is that everyone is okay.

    Yep, JRV did a lot of work for Big George.

    Mattress Mack just got his road worthy again.

    Grady of course, and Mark's was at his house also.
    So two there.

    There's a guy down by Rice that drives his ALL the time, I see him at the Coin Shop in the Village.

    You had that slasher doctor in River Oaks, he went under the radar after killing a few patients ("Eric the Red", for all the blood units he used on the operating table, they had to clean the WALLS when he was done)


    Big George is actually a minister here now, the grills are a sideline endorsement gig.....
