Not bad, are those shirts free?

I wonder if they would get mad if you put some tire shine on those

Yes, it drives.
Their primary focus was to make this Batmobile as real as possible: at 9 feet wide and 15 feet long, the car weighed in at 2.5 tons but was still capable of 0-60MPH in under six seconds with a top speed of 110MPH. Thanks to its unique design, it was also capable of making unassisted jumps up to 30 feet.
...
Primary power for this Batmobile came from a 500-HP Chevy 350 V8 driving four 44" Super Swamper tires via titanium axles.

The one on Vance Jackson and I10.
They had a later showing at the Santikos Palladium Theater (in the Rim).
