Former Boston Red Sox infielder Brock Holt played 10 seasons in the MLB. He has a World Series ring to show for it, as he was part of Boston's championship run in the 2018 season. Holt last played for the Texas Rangers in the 2021 season.

Off the field, he customized his Jeep Wrangler from Alex Vega's Miami-based Auto Firm in August 2015. According to a report by Auto Evolution, the customization included a satin wrap, a 2.5-inch lift kit, new bumpers, a grill, and side steps. Other detailing includes darkened windows, a tuning box, a sports exhaust system and a new sound system.

According to Car and Driver, the 2024 Jeep Wrangler starts at $33,890 and goes up to $93,440. This luxurious car has a 285-hp 3.6-liter V-6, coupled with a six-speed manual gearbox or a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic, depending upon the variant.

The basic two-door Wrangler Sport variant tops 60 mph in 6.1 seconds, while the four-door Sahara model reaches the limit in 6.8 seconds. Although its handling has gotten better, it remains truck-like when compared to today's polished SUVs and pickups.
