I've always like the Michael Keaton batmobile most. The tumbler is awesome but would be hell getting around my town in.
Gotta admit though, that Adam West batmobile is pimpin.

Weren't they an actual car with only a little bit of modification (flame exhaust) rather than a total conversion like a lot of Batmobiles.
The original Barris Bamobile design is based off the 1955 Lincoln Futura - a concept car that never went into production, and cost $250,000 to make. Ford sold it to George Barris for $1, who then made quite possibly the most legendary vehicle of all time.
Bet Ford kicked themselves after that one!

OT: I'd rather have the Dark Knight Batmobile....... personally.

Or Adam West's because it has Bat-TV
Barris was already well known for making custom vehicles for film and television. Ford all but gave it to him because they knew he'd make something awesome with it. I know if I had the money, I'd be camped out waiting for one. I'm sure they look back on the deal as something to be proud of.

Why can't I shake the feeling that a working flamethrower exhaust thing on the back is just an accident waiting to happen?
The safety issue regarding flamethrowers really breaks down to the difference between buying a professional [link url="http://smokeandflames.com/products/s/?p=Flame-Throwers"]flame thrower kit[/link] built to assure safety from people who know what they are doing and idiots who try to do it themselves. The latter of course being more likely to burn the house down or set their car on fire. When it comes to altering the flow of gasoline for such purposes its not ideal for weekend drunks who think they know everything about their car.

I want one... Can you imagine a better way to get to work than in a Batmobile?

[sub]Well, I should probably also arrive dressed as Batman.

"Hi, I'm Dr. Batman, I'll be your doctor today."

"Nurse... get me the Bat-scalpel."[/sub]

That one football player that thought he was Batman should get this.
