    That is very likely since he is a major car guy.

    One of the few people narcissistic enough to get his own name tattooed on his back

    Confirmed in both of your points, here is a section from his personal bio:

    "Selänne is known as an avid car collector (he's one of the few people that own an Enzo Ferrari), golfer and auto racing fan. He has even entered WRC rally events in his home country of Finland. He usually races under the pseudonym "Teukka Salama" which loosely translates as "Tommy Lightning.[22]"

    Not by me. Honestly he looks like a *****.
    And I'm sure his girl is in grad school as well.

    You don't see me arguing.


    I say let the posers buy something else. Do you think for one millisecond these characters know the first flipping thing about the brand's history? I think not.
    Does that mean you have to take a history test before they hand you the keys, of course not, but if you are going to buy a Ferrari solely for the "look at me"-factor, I think you should just put the gold chains down and step away.

    Well someone has to buy them new and take the depreciation hit for the rest of us.
    Might as well be someone I don't particularly admire;)

    No, unfortunately not... But I have a summer house very close to his home. And a friend knows the CEO of his hotel very well....

    Narcissism or pragmatism? At 19 and driving an F430, you'll need a tattoo to ID the body.

    Raquel Welch had a 275 GTS.

    That's a combination I would happily look at for a long, long time.
