What would you do if you re-upped with your job for a cool $75 million over three years? Would you show up to the office in a three-wheeled, futuristic motorcycle-slash-car-thing that looks like something out of Transformers?
That's exactly what Yoenis Cespedes did! After signing a massive off-season deal with the New York Mets, the slugger arrived at spring training on Tuesday morning in a little vehicle called the Polaris Slingshot.
Consider this story a lesson in living richly.

Now here's a better look at the Polaris Slingshot SL, which retails for a beginning price of just over $25,000. Don't get it twisted, though -- Cespedes had his ride pimped out with an extra $40,000 worth of custom work, according to the Journal.
But we're just getting started here, baby. In case you didn't know, it's good to be rich!
Tuesday was actually Cespedes' third day of spring training. He showed up for his first day of work on Sunday in a tricked-out Ford F250 truck that featured $30,000 of additional custom work, per the Journal. Here's a look.

Then the Journal reports Cespedes also owns a Lamborghini Aventador that features some $80,000 worth of custom work on top of its $400,000 starting price tag. After the Slingshot became an online sensation Tuesday, Cespedes reportedly plans to get the Lambo shipped down to Florida so he can have yet another commuter on-hand. (And no, we did not make that last part up -- it's in the Journal article!)
In conclusion, Mr. Cespedes is truly teaching the rest of us how to stunt this spring training. Now can this be his 2016 walkup song, please?
