The finished product even has the flames shooting out of the back, too! :-)
Totally, would give anything to drive down the highway in that...THING, right? lol

He occassionally drives it through the nieghborhood on Summer evenings. The kids and the dads go wild when he does.

It’s the BATMOBILE!!
What other “why” could there be?

Just like the “Taquitos Diablos” I have enjoyed so many times in Mexico...
That's not a batmobile.
That's a BATMOBILE!
