They aren’t manufactured, each one is being built by hand.

‘Manufacture’ literally means ‘make by hand’, which is one of its definitions.

I see in one of the pictures that they have the parachutes for the Bat Turn mounted on the rear, but there’s no mention of them in the details list. I don’t expect them to work, but are they only on that picture for show? :(

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Or at least, its weird you want to use it in the ways you do.

But also, he seems to be using it just fine to me. Specifically, definition two:

2. Excessive attachment or regard.

In what way does it seem weird to you?

From the rumours, I think that Batman did all the – er- driving in that couple…

Manufactured just means man-made.

I think you meant to say, that they are not mass-produced or use automated-assembly.

But they are certainly manufactured.

Or Eartha Kitt!

Not to put down Julie Newmar, of course, but I always found Eartha irresistible. :-D

If I had all the money in the world, I’d want one, but only so I could close off my own personal freeway and drive it at night. I think I’d die of embarrassment if anyone ever saw me behind the wheel of a Batmobile.

And as for the parachutes, Anon #13, they’d better work. Barris drove his down the 101 freeway with chutes deployed for a TV Guide article before the series premiered.

Batman: “Robin, you haven’t fastened your safety bat-belt.”
Robin: “We’re only going a couple of blocks.”
Batman: “It won’t be long until you are old enough to get a driver’s license, Robin, and you’ll be able to drive the Batmobile and other vehicles. Remember, motorist safety.”
Robin: “Gosh, Batman, when you put it that way..”

When you put it that way why don’t you drink a tall glass of STFU.

Also I’m pretty sure Julie Newmar as Catwoman actually triggered the onset my pubescence by the sheer hotness of that outfit. And I do mean sheer.

Atomic batteries to power! Turbines to speed!

and people are balking at the cost of the new EV’s… please.

News 4 You: The reason many things are cheap are because of mass production. The reason custom things are expensive is because of custom production. It’s kind of the same way prepared food costs less than gourmet. And the pricing in all cases are fair.

For my money this is also a great example of how one can build a custom business with modern tools. Yeah, customizing has existed for years. But now thanks to the Internet someone doing something as cool as this has a larger market.

All good!
