Pimp My XJ
I was on either ESPN.com or SI.com looking through an album of athlete's cars and came across boxer Riddick Bowe and his XJ. It actually took me a few seconds to realize what it was, first noticing the 4.0 badge, then the tail lights, then the tire swing... then I realized this poor XJ had been pimped.

From the NYTimes:
This is from 1990 SI:
The first vehicle he buys is a Cherokee, so I'll give him props for that. Not sure about his choice of mods though...
It's sweltering inside his 12-car garage, and Bowe, now weighing nearly 300 pounds, daubs perspiration from his brow and stares thoughtfully at his machines: two Mercedeses, a Rolls-Royce Seraph, a BMW 750, a Harley, a Bentley, a vintage 1970 Caddy, a customized Ford Suburban and, Bowe's first car, a 1990 Jeep Cherokee.
Five months ago Newman allowed Bowe to use part of the $60,000 purse he received for beating Art Tucker to splurge on a Jeep Cherokee, which has been customized into a convertible.
