Jeez...you drove the #1 Batmobile, met George Barris AND have it documented on video--what more could you ask for?
So how did it drive? |

Eric,
I was pleasantly suprised at how well the car performed. It had good acceleration, great steering and frankly drove like a normal car. I drove that car fourteen years ago, but it's still one of my most favorite memories (aside from my role as a "red shirt" in a Star Trek:Enterprise episode.) Barris was great...made me feel right at home behind the wheel of his prized possession. I've driven plenty of cars since then (including some bat-replicas), but nothing compares to the experience of driving the original Batmobile! |

Had a great time with you and your bat the other day, and I hope to have a video to you in the not too distant future. As for L.A., probably
can't make it, but take plenty of pictures for me!
