Default Is that the Batmobile?

I am pulling up to the Wendy's drive through window and the guy behind the counter says "When I saw your car from a distance I asked myself "Is that the Batmobile"?

I replied sometimes I feel like it is. He said nice car as he was admiring the car with half of his body hanging out the window.

Before I get flamed, I know I commited a mortal sin driving my Vette through a fast food joint but my 4 year old angel called me on way home from work asking for chicken nuggets. It's hard for me to say no to her.

It's funny no matter where you go, these cars turn heads.

Caught this picture of your car... I can see why the kid at the drive-thru asked you that.

Very story. I hear this often, "Look it is the NIGHT RIDER car."

I am with you, if my little boy wants something, I will go out of my way for him. I am whipped. I just love that boy of mine!

Right after I got mine I took my good friend for a ride and after the initial "wow" factor wore off he said he felt like he was in the Batmobile.
