If you don't want to spend the whole $185,000 for which it was sold at the 2008 Barrett-Jackson auction, you can now buy single parts of the 1966 Batmobile Replica. This may seem like a blasphemy to some, but I find the idea of pimping my car with some subtle detail as a Rocket Exhaust Tube Kit quite appaling.
And the best thing about it: all the important gadgets actually work.
That Batmobile flamethrower will surely impress your future girlfriend.
