Because my best friend knows my love of the Batman character he took one look and said "bought another Batmobile huh?" -- which gave me pause-- my FIRST ever brand new car was a very racy looking Ford EXP-- which was really just a souped up Escort-- but it was sharp looking-- it had pointed headlights, was black and had red pinstriping. THAT was clearly influenced by the Batmobile. But since then I can say with certainty no other car I've owned has been Batmobile-Barris style. The "sports" cars I've owned have been gold, gold and silver. Now this one. The black is sleek, and it's got that amazing new car smell that only a car with 14 miles on the odometer can have-- but Batman did not play a part in my choice, in fact, your honor, I think I would have chosen the gray one-- but Mrs Fish was such a fan of the black I went along-- but I'll always be guilty of being influenced by Batman at least in the eyes of my friends.
But it leads to the question-- how many of you DO choose a vehicle that might have fit in with the other cars in that cave? And do any of you share the burden that no matter what you do friends and family see it through the prism of your love of Batman?
