Now that's some pretty cool shit.
I wonder if that dude can build me a Mako.
There's no roof.
What happens if it rains?
Does Robin hold a hair dryer over the seats till they dry out?
They dry out their seats with the burning heat of their smoldering hot buttocks.
Look at the first pic. There should be a rule taht you can only drive it while wearing a superhero suit.
The suit is waterproof, that's how they get away with no roof.
I thought I did until I saw one of the originals at the Petersen Automotive Museum in WLA (Where BIG was killed).
In real life, the originals were shit. All the labels where hand-done with one of those shitty-ass label makers from the 50's, it was in poor shape too. Not as cool at all as it looked on TV. All the extra pieces were riveted on all rough.
These repros are probably nice though. So long as the Oil Slick button actualy works.

Buy a Batmobile for £100,000The original Batmobile from the 1960s TV series starring Adam West is still the ultimate screen car for an entire generation of caped crusader fans. Now anybody with a spare $149,999 (£95,000) can buy one.
American company Fiberglass Freaks is producing officially licensed, road-legal 1966 Batmobiles. And yes, the flamethrower works.
Each car takes six months to build and features an array of working gadgets, including a red flashing beacon, a radar screen called 'Detect-a-scope', a retractable, gold-coloured 'Batbeam' and a dashboard DVD player.
The flamethrower in the original Batmobile was the result of the car's turbine engine, but the replica uses a propane tank - mounted in the boot - to create the same effect.
The astonishing car is the brainchild of Fiberglass Freaks founder Mark Racop. He decided he wanted to build a Batmobile at two years old.
"I fell in love the show, fell in love with the action, the color, the music - everything. But the best feature was the Batmobile, speeding out of the Batcave," he said.
The Lincoln Futura on which the Batmobile is based was never actually put into production, but after finding a body shell on eBay in 2004, Racop had the basis of his replica.
The chassis and running gear come from a Lincoln Town Car, onto which a fibreglass body is placed. The licence from D.C. Comics limits the company to making just eight per year, which renders it one of the world's most exclusive production cars.
Racop says that buyers are generally in their forties and fifties and fans of the original show - some drive their cars every day. "Wealth seems to breed that eccentricity. This was their childhood dream car, just as it was for me," he commented.
