Every scar and every fear, you want all I have

Thought I’d also share a picture of YES, the Batmobile golf cart we discussed at the beginning of the show!  One of our show opens features the old 1966 Batman theme, so we ended up on this topic for a few minutes. This creation is part of an excellent (and funny at times) gallery from HotCars.com about Batmobiles people built.
