What do you get when you invest $$$$ in a replica Batmobile

I still don't quite understand what the benefits are in owning a replica Batmobile. You can't drive it, you can't show it, and you can't even call it a Batmobile replica.

Why would you pay the kind of money to own one when really all you can do it stick in your garage and tell everybody you own one?

Don't get me wrong, I want one as bad as about all of the guys that post on this forum. I want to drive it and show it. I would like to make some money with it.

Can somebody enlighten me on this?

It's that "make some money with it" thing that'll get you in trouble. You can drive it and show it off, but not as a promotional tool for organizations or businesses. The return on your investment comes from the pure joy of driving it, and the looks on people's faces when they see it. I'm sorry, but if your primary concern is making your money back, then you probably don't deserve to have one.

So you can put it in car shows and drive it on the street without any problems, just can't make any money with it.

That's a bummer.

For me.....it's going to be the smiles on the faces of the kids, and their parents when I show up for gatherings in my Bat-outfit, in the Gotham Cruiser.

"Gotham Cruiser " is the coined car name of another Bat-Dude here on CLTC.

But anyway, as my vehicle will be used ONLY for fun, and for charity work, I don't expect too many hassles about its' usage. I WILL let the local law enforcement folks know where the events will occur, as to forestall any problems.

RE: What do you get when you invest $$$$ in a replica Batmobile

I always tell people this: Think about the money people spend on golf. sole object is hitting a little white ball into a hole. People spend tons of cash on memberships, clothes, equipment. The amature golf buisiness is billions. One could say, "what a waste of time". What are you gona get outa all the cash you fork out to hit a white ball in a hole.
I think that for the most part the reason we do this is to have a small part of our lives that is out of the norm, it helps us to escape from the duldrums of everyday life. And some of us seek to help others enjoy a little fantasy by donating their time to children who will otherwise never see this sort of thing. So what's a waste of time? and what's a waste of money? I know a lot of people who think this stuff is just plain silly. Nuts. Stupid. Then they go right out to the golf course, or spend big bucks to watch a game that others play. We also get the benifit of learning to be craftsmen, And believe me when I say this is about one of the highest, and toughest forms of craft you will ever do, IF you do it right. If you can build a batmobile from SCRATCH, EXACTLY like the movie, or a batsuit, EXACTLY the way they did it in the movies, you are amongst the best craftsmen in the world. IN THE WORLD.

RE: What do you get when you invest $$$$ in a replica Batmobile

What bob said. No-one here could have phrased it better. People differ. Some spend truck loads of money on beer, gambling, and other stuff you don't have anything to show for at the end. It's a passion for the people here and yes, maybe it's a little mad to stick it in ur garage and leave it there for most of the time but it's there for our enjoyment and viewing pleasure and anyone else who has the interest. Waste of money? Rubbish. Money well spent.

Some people spend truckloads of money on beer and women and others just waste it.

If you are interested in this as an investment with dividens, please move along, nothing to see here. But it's more fun than a boat in the driveway, better than "equity", saner than driving a $50,000 car to work everyday and make payments and shell out for insurance, and unlike sports tickets or a mutual fund, makes you smile everytime you look in your garage! ???

RE: What do you get when you invest $$$$ in a replica Batmobile

Okay, I see where you are coming from on this. As far as geting attention and the looks already getting them with my Isuzu VehiCross. It ain't nothing compared to a Batmobile.

I must admit I'm not a real true blue Batman fan but I've always loved the car. I watched the movies just to see the cars. I do like the "new" Batman movie, it's a liitle more realistic, if you can get realistic.

I'm going to go for it. I really want the car, I just didn't quite understand the benefits of owning one.

RE: What do you get when you invest $$$$ in a replica Batmobile

I like the golf answer, that's probably the second most true answer here.

But I LOVE DH's answer.

CHICKS!!!!

But DH, you need to add.

CHICKS that want to get nasty on the hood of the car.

There are large groups of girls who've never "done it" on the hood of a Batmobile wearing knee high black boots.

(Well... NOT around here, hehehe)

But there are, and they're not too shy about it...

And they travel in pairs.

"Smiling when I see it in the garage"?

YOU BET!!!!!

RE: What do you get when you invest $$$$ in a replica Batmobile

To get back to the original topic, If I won the lottery (and I wish I had!) and spent the half a million dollars or so for the original builders of the, let's say, Tumbler. When they get done, the car can be registered as a "kit car" and be given it's own vin by the BMV. It can get it's own title and the whole nine yards so I can drive the shit out of it and nothing can be said by the local authorities...until you throttle up the jet engine. THAT could be a problem.
