Carlos Menem's Ferrari 348 TB

President Menem of Argentina was a rally driver in his youth. He was instrumental in bringing Formula One back to Argentina in the 1990s. Here he is with his Ferrari 348TB, given to him by the head of Ducati. Apparently, it was to thank Menem for showing up at the World Cup matches in Italy, so that he won't "forget Italy". When asked to give it up due to ethical rules, Menem declared that it was "Mine, mine, mine!"
