New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman is having a great time in quarantine amid the coronavirus pandemic, and the new custom vehicle he purchased proves it.

Chapman bought a custom, six-wheel Jeep that's covered in Kevlar coating, according to TMZ Sports, and it is unbelievable.

The vehicle began as a cut-in-half Jeep and was then all custom built from there. It has 600 horsepower, feautres blood-red interior and is "unstuckable" while off-roading.

The customization took 60 days to complete and cost Chapman $150,000, which is a small price to pay following the three-year, $48 million deal he signed in November to remain in New York.

Chapman's new ride seems wildly similar to former Boston Red Sox pitcher David Price's $200,000 Rhino GX, which is armored.

It certainly must be nice to live life in luxury, but we'll be seeing if Chapman can make that $48 million deal worth it once the Major League Baseball season begins next month.
