How to make (and own) your very own BatPod
As far as I’m concerned, Dark Knight is one of the best Batman movies. Maybe not completely based on the overall theme and acting, but more-so on the rides, specifically the BatPod.
Well, now you can actually own your very own. The BatPod project above was created by several Batman enthusiasts to mimic as closely as possible, the real BatPod.
Hitting (I’m assuming 60) in 5.2 seconds is a breeze in this dark beast. Though plan your gas stops accordingly as the gas tank is tiny — and I mean tiny. But such things don’t matter when the end result is as epic as this.
Driving a beautifully crafted Batmobile replica through traffic will surely turn heads, garner whistles, and all sorts of accolades. It’s not everyday you see a piece of super hero history driving down the road. Based off of a ’76 Lincoln Continental, this Batmobile built by “Gotham Cruisers” isn’t just some freak project. The Continental at it’s core is a fully titled and authentic piece of auto history with the Batmobile clothing affixed on top ensuring at least some level of street legal chops. Of course, the coolest parts of this car could make it slightly less than legal. Hidden bat gems include a parachute, working batphone, and best of all, a fully functional flamethrower! Ya, rush hour will never be quite the same again. Neither will that jackass that cut you off a few blocks back. Pull up behind him and push a button, enjoy a laugh, and watch as his smoldering car crawl to a stop. Somehow I don’t think the 5-0 will look too favorably on such a situation. But Batman wasn’t exactly a friend of the law per say. Not to mention, you’ll at least feel better about yourself won’t you. That’s all that really matters. Oh ya, and of course, you’re packin’ a flamethrower so in some form or another, you are the law. Remember, obey the speed limit and always buckle up! You can fry motorists, just do so obeying all of the other traffic laws…
