From a distance it has nice proportions but up close it looks a bit insectoid. Otherwise, it’s a great car.

DIVCO Model A milk truck:

At the risk of arguing over a fictional car in a comic book, the first Batmobile was likely based on the Graham Paige “Sharknose”, not the Cord. The confusion is probably because the Graham, also supercharged, isn’t as well known as the Cord. More here:

Patrick, and how many readers at your Gawker sister sites feel the same way as the person who left the note?

I’ll nominate the Lotus Elan. Not because its pop-up headlights look funny, though they do give the car a frogeyed look. It’s because Colin Chapman & company never got them to work properly. The early models used engine manifold vacuum to pop them up. Unfortunately for high-speed nighttime driving, the Lotus Twin-Cam…

The term “Batmobile” first appeared in Detective Comics #48, in 1941 and has been attributed to writer Bob Finger. Batman’s car was described as a supercharged red roadster with a reinforced hood that could be used as a battering ram. Most online sources, including batmobilehistory.com and a popular infographic say…

DC and Warner Bros do license Batmobile replicas.

DC comics and Warner Bros indeed licenses Batmobile replicas:

Welcome to being a human on the internet. FIFY.

I don’t know what’s worse, a lame Washington Post article or a Jalopnik editorial about cars and youth that feels the need to comply with Gawker’s “anti-racist” and “anti-sexist” ideological checklist.

Is what the lefty SJW Twitter mob does to rigidly enforce their moral codes any better than the shunnings and excommunications of traditional societies?

And using the phrase “arrogant old white dude” doesn’t betray any biases on your part, right? No age, racial or gender bias there, no, not at all.

What does the simple truth that change occurs when the power structure changes have to do with your quotas for the amount of melanin or vaginas that my friends should supposedly have? I live in a near suburb to Detroit that I’m willing to bet is at least as racially diverse as where you live. I’m also willing to bet…

To begin with, there’s nothing wrong with wanting clicks. It’s how Jason and the rest of us online content creators get paid. You think we write this stuff so people don’t read it? Of course the headlines are crafted to get you to click. Same as headlines on a newsstand in the 1950s.

You know, you don’t call it gentrification when a couple who retired to a small cottage on a lake in Oakland County have to sell out because they can no longer afford the property taxes because of all the million dollar homes built up around them. You also have no compassion for that couple if they aren’t one of your…

So you’re saying that when I got called a “dirty Jew” it wasn’t “anti-semitism” because “isms” are institutionalized?

Historical reality, no joke. If men didn’t agree with universal suffrage, it wouldn’t have happened. The same can be said about white folks and the civil rights movement. Protests can make noise, but it’s the power structure that makes changes.

I’ll simply note how you said “men”. BTW, women would never have gotten the vote if men hadn’t given it to them.
