"Victor Martinez, you're going to like the Motor City.

Judging from your keen appreciation for wheels.

Martinez was dropped off on Tuesday at the side door of the Tigers clubhouse here. Several years ago, it became the front door for players, because they can park and walk up the path to the clubhouse.

But it's not hidden from public view, if that's what you are asking.

When Justin Verlander pulls up in his red Ferrari, it's in full view of the fans on hand for that day's workout.

When a writer pulls up in his compact rental car, wait, that doesn't really matter, does it? And besides it's in a different area.

The big white Rolls Royce Ghost in the first slot of the lot, however, belonged to Victor Martinez, the Tigers' new catcher/designated hitter.

Called a "luxury saloon" on Wikipedia, the Ghost retails (also according to Wikipedia) for around $250,000 before customization. It's the "most technologically advanced Rolls" ever manufactured The suspension is able to detect the "the movement of a single passenger in a rear seat and compensate accordingly." Apparently that means it has power windows, too."
