Carlos Torres has a different ride from last year. [video:3kef8s6y]https://www.facebook.com/SNY/videos/1308763255817406/[/video:3kef8s6y]

John Cougar Lunchbucket Feb 23 2016 02:43 PM Re: Batmobile

Good grief. Talk about Ricky Bones' bicycle!

Edgy MD Feb 23 2016 02:49 PM Re: Batmobile

I like that it's parked next to Harvey's ding-a-ling. Harvey thought he was coming to camp and making a statement with his ride, and it ends up looking quotidian next to his neighbor's toy racer. If you're going to be ostentatious and gaudy and wasteful, dice Céspedes, at least show some panache.

Edgy MD Feb 23 2016 03:57 PM Re: Batmobile

I'm joking. 52 — and presumably the parking spot marked by the number 52 — belonged to Carlos Torres last year, and this year belongs to Yoenis Cespedes who clearly punches in a very different weight class.

Yeah there's a short video on SNY's fb page, the thing doesn't look terribly safe. Hope he stays off the highway.

Vega is also working on a tricked-out SRT for Jeurys Familia, and is talking to Bartolo Colon about becoming a client. I can only imagine...

Lefty Specialist Feb 23 2016 08:04 PM Re: Batmobile

It's good to be Yoenis Cespedes.

Centerfield Feb 23 2016 09:11 PM Re: Batmobile

...or at least was the talk of the town, until Lucas Duda pulled up in his sweet new ride.

Cespedes' most expensive purchase was a Lamborghini Aventador ($300,000), which Vega stripped down to the frame and customized, including adding an exhaust system that blows fire

Yeah, but he's wealthy enough to do that in reverse: get a car to match the color of his clothes.

Centerfield Feb 24 2016 04:28 PM Re: Batmobile

I love that Cespedes's cars have caused me to do some self-reflection. I've found myself wondering what kind of car I would drive if I were suddenly in my 20's and a superstar ballplayer. I'm pretty sure I would drive a restored '67 Camaro. Though I can see myself going the super-douchy rap star giant black SUV route too. With spinning rims. Any car I drive would have neon blue underlighting.

metirish Feb 24 2016 04:29 PM Re: Batmobile

Ono of the Mets staffers needed to go out today and Cespedes gave him the Lamborghini , according to one of the writers

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Feb 24 2016 04:31 PM Re: Batmobile

I don't know how practical Yo's Aventador is. I mean, what kind of robot does it transform into? Are there passenger ejector seats? Does it even have an ejector seat?

Me too. I'd just retrofit my Accord so it could travel underwater or nitro me out of a tight spot. It's all about the accessories. I might look into a flux capacitor too.

Any car I drive would have neon blue underlighting. i always liked the '69 better. but if I were to go down that route, I would have two choices: 1. fully restored AMC AMX, 1970, in glorious red white and blue. 2. resto-modded AMC Eagle Wagon, preferably an '83 (but they were nigh identical from 80-88) - the original Subaru outback - with a fully upgraded powertrain and suspension, and gloriously modernized interior replete with blue plaid seats.

I bought a dark green 1968 Mustang Convertible (black top and interior) from a family friend in the fall of 1974. It was my first car and I kept it until the winter of 1984 when I had to sell it to help finance my last few months of optometry school. Damn, I loved that car!

Maybe the Pinto got rear-ended and blew up? Wasn't the Pinto the car that had a few poorly placed bolts that would go through the gas tank when hit from behind just right?

I'm not particularly car-enamored, but If/when I'm rich I'm not gonna drive in puny mid-level boring cars. Gotta appreciate something with a little pick-up and of course, all the luxury features.

Frayed Knot Feb 25 2016 06:55 PM Re: Batmobile

I don't believe NBC was breaking news no matter which car/truck it was - those crap magazine shows rarely do. They were just taking an existing news story and demonstrating how easily such an explosion/fire could be reproduced before likely deciding that it would have been boring for their audience if the vehicle didn't actually blow up. So they rig the demo so as to 'prove' to their viewers that it's virtually a guaranteed occurrence and then pretend to have no knowledge of what the (biased) outside consultant was doing if and when it all gets exposed.

Zvon Feb 29 2016 10:55 PM Re: Batmobile

I don't care if it looks like shit. Even if I was just a little rich I'd ruin all my cars. The only thing that would stop me is if I owned the #1 '66 Batmobile. I suppose if I was a lot rich I would.

First cars, then three-wheelers... now he's splurging on world-class choppers. According to one of his companions that evening, the Mets outfielder "was in a bidding war" at an auction for the champion swine, with proceeds going to charity. No word on exactly how much Cespedes spent, but hogs typically sell for significantly less than Lamborghinis.

Edgy MD Mar 01 2016 01:14 PM Re: Batmobile

Saw one of those on the street on Sunday. On the interstate, in fact. It turned my head, but it sure seemed terrifying to think of a guy sitting that low to the ground, at interstate speed, with a three-point wheel base, and virtually nothing in the way of crumple zones around him.

When I saw Cespedes on the horse I laughed and thought what a crazy mofo, but when I saw Syndergaard behind him on horseback my first thought was: get our pitcher off that horse! The last thing we need is a rotation member being thrown from the saddle. I thought maybe Collins felt similar.
