    I assume there may be a few around but do they mess with this forum? It sure would be nice to see one at an event and BEG for a ride in what I consider the greatest Ferrari ever.

    Once I find another excuse to ride over to Houston, I'll have to stop by and see that!

    Jim "Mattress Mac" McIngvale uses it to draw people to see his showroom, he's got one of Elvis' cars, Jeff Gordon's NASCAR, indoor putting course, play center for the kids, etc... The place has been seen to believed. He makes his money on people financing furniture & TV's, it's quite an operation. I was told it one of the first few into Houston back when the market was nuts on these cars, he wanted now so he paid the premium. I'm sure the car is just a write off to him.

    I don't think he would sell it at any price. The dude does $250 million in sales each year. He probably would of laughed at a $500K offer even though the car has been sitting for three years.

    He made a commercial delivering a mattress tied to the roof of a TR, remember?

    So Mattress Mac is one..

    Reverend George Foreman owns one JRV used to maintain......

    Mr. Risi's LM is in the FoH showroom.......

    There was that coke addled doctor in River Oaks, 'Eric the Red' they called him, he used so many blood units in surgery, not many can splatter the walls in OR, they disbanded him after he killed a few people in surgery......not disbanded, wrong word but you know......

    None of the folks above are chatters.......FCA Chapter does have a F40 owner that makes the parties......I have not met him.
