I'm not sure if that means screen-used, but who cares. It was a drag-racing Batmobile. Wrap that around your head. With Bat-Chutes.
Complete with holes in the canopy to keep it from flying off at speed.
Right now it's stuck in a Nashville Museum, awaiting a even richer maniac to set new quarter-mile times.
..Until the kid turned 18 and insists on the keys? I don't think that happened. Probably a few runs around town and realization no insurance company would take the tab for a learners-permit kid with a Batmobile. So museums it went.
Kinda makes that kid in high school with a new Corvette seem a bit lame, eh?
Yes, we had one, and yes, he did a burnout and yes, he hit a pole doing it.:D
