How did a Green Bay Packers lineman celebrate Aaron Rodgers' return? A slick personalized golf cart.

Green Bay Packers lineman David Bakhtiari welcomed quarterback Aaron Rodgers back to training camp this week with a new set of wheels: the Aston Martin Vanquish Rodgers always wanted and the pink fuzzy steering wheel cover he never knew he needed.

More accurately, it was Bakhtiari’s version of the luxury British sports car. In reality, it was just an Onward golf cart he had customized to look the part — but with impressive attention to detail, we must say.

He proudly pointed out all the little extras to Rodgers during the gift reveal outside Lambeau Field in a video he shared Friday on Instagram. He had No. 12 stitched into the driver’s seat, had his three MVP years stenciled on, included an Aston Martin emblem and, the pièce de résistance, a vanity license plate.

It has been a running joke during Rodgers’ appearances on “The Pat McAfee Show” that Bakhtiari gives him crummy presents, and he hoped his buddy would take his gift-giving game up a notch and get him something he actually wants, like a new Aston Martin Vanquish.

Last Christmas, Bakhtiari came through with a model of one, but Rodgers complained it was “100% used,” was all smudgy and looked like something off eBay.

“I have to contractually tell you guys he is supposedly getting me a golf cart … I don’t know if it’s an Aston Martin golf cart, but I will say that I am excited about that,” Rodgers told McAfee in December.

He can’t say Bakhtiari didn’t make good on that promise.

“My man finally got that #Ashtonmartin he always wanted. This is the real reason Aaron came back,” Bakhtiari wrote in the caption. “Enjoy it 3x MVP. No more shaming @patmcafeeshow.”

Of course, Rodgers will likely put the cart to good use. He has had a busy summer on the course, including a victory in the most recent edition of the Match, when he teamed with Bryson DeChambeau to beat Phil Mickelson and Tom Brady.
