Gallery: 20 Outrageous Athlete Rides

With two major sports lockouts this year (including the ongoing NBA lockout), many pro athletes have been forced to lessen their lavish lifestyles and tag popping tendencies, if not halt them completely for the time being.

In times like these, pro ballers can't afford to ball so hard that the IRS wants to find them. When the money stops rolling in, even some of sports' biggest names can end up penning books that have a thick chapter 11. That's why we decided to take a look at some of the most outrageous rides ever purchased by athletes who had little regard for the rainy day that could always be right around the corner.
