I just started at the local Mercedes dealership and a rich guy who Im not allowed to name was ALLOWED, yes, I said ALLOWED to get one of THESE.....






Sorry, didnt get any closeup shots.

To the untrained eye, it may appear to be "just" an SLR....but its an SLR 722....only 150 of them made worldwide and you cant buy it just because you have the money to....you have to have Maybach/SLR "points." I cant stop staring at it at work. So for ONLY $465,000 (and some Maybach/SLR points) you TOO can own a car worth more than alot of peoples' house!

 

Well whoever it is - Ballmer, Gates or Allen - is getting an expensive car with a bum right rear tire. That thing is about 20 lbs low.

I think the 722 looks pretty hot, and a little better than the SLR. But the wheel choice is pretty bad IMO. They look like Superleggeras, and that's not really a wheel I would want on my new chariot.

 

Hahaha, its none of those guys actually. Yeah, its flat, haha, and only one guy is allowed to work on it so it has to sit there like that for awhile. Its just an amazing car. CRAZY CF!!!

 

More likely to be somebody like John Shirley, although I think he's a Ferarri guy. It's not widely known, but there are some awesome car collections in Seattle by people whose names don't make it into the press much.

 

Not him either. But yeah, its crazy how many freakin rich people live in the Puget Sound....or Im just naive to the fact.

 

Jeff Bezos?!?!?

 

lol, no, good guess tho. Well, the top guys are gone so yeah, das all I'll say, this guy is obviously filthy rich tho...Ive never heard of him til now. Cant give his name anyway, privacy stuff.

 

Does he live in Seattle? Private jets? Art Collector? A patient of mine was just in Seattle (he's an art dealer) last week. His client just paid around $86 million for a painting.

 

Which painting?

 

Howard Schultz?
