New BATMOBILE photos. The recession has hit the industry pretty hard. Hit the jump for the details.
Via [io9]. The recession hit Michigan particularly hard, effecting even
superhero-wannabees. With just $100 and a dream one Ann
Arbor resident turned a wrecked Pontiac Grand Am into the world's worst Batmobile. Gabe, the hero of this story, purchased this wrecked 1994 Pontiac Grand
Am last summer from Dave's Towing in Ann Arbor for $100
The car garners its fair share of attention, including the admiration
of the local police. When Gabe was pulled over last year he says the
officers told him "We've never pulled over the Batmobile before" and then
took pictures with the car.
"It's a bit of a legend around here," says Gabe. It even features high tech projection gadgets the likes of which even
Wayne Industries couldn't develop. When thieves tried to steal the car
last year the steering wheel broke off in order to prevent them from
making away with such a potent crime-fighting vehicle. In the process of
trying to hotwire the car they also fixed the brake lights.
Apologies, but take a look at H.R Giger's Batmobile [concept] for Batman Forever & Christopher Nolan's Golf Cart.
