    I'm just wondering whether one can adjust the vibration frequency of the front turbine, er, attachment for enhanced pleasure.

    I used to live in Stockholm and am trying to figure out where that is...I'm gonna
    guess on one of the side streets near Birger Jarlsgatan down near the water in Östermalm. I think my fave part about this car is the matte finish - the eschewing of the shiny-car trope is daring, as though to say (a) I don't need your puny glossy finish to be a badass mofo, and (b) this car sucks in all the light and is an oasis of total darkness. Or something. Either way - bra, mycket bra!

    (That's how you say, "Good, very good" in Swedish. "Jag har inte pojkevan" is how you say "I don't have a boyfriend." Swedes are very attractive.)

    @RachelSklar: If I recall correctly, "jag har inte fickvan" is more appropriate for the majority of the commentariat here. Excepting Charles Barrett, if he's still around.

    @c0de: Interestly enough, My friend and I have a deal that if either of use get rich enough to the point where money doesn't matter, we have to build the others childhood superhero dream car. If I become a billionaire, I have to build him whichever batmobile he wants (currently I think the agreement is for the Tumbler); if he does, he has to build me the Mach 5.

    More importantly what is that red POS behind it? Another Suzuki or Hyundai or something? Gotta love Europe for having lots of small cars everywhere. You can park your big Don Johnson mobile next to it and boast how big it is.

    Shouldn't this be classified as LOLCARS? It always baffles me when so much skill and time gets thrown into projects like this. But then I am a fairly dedicated beer drinker, so I ought to shut up.

    While I don't understand this level of obsession, at least he obsessed about what is, in my opinion, the best looking Batmobile thus far.

    To the best of my recollection, the original Burton Batmobile was said to have been built on a G-body. The best I can figure is that this guy eschewed the G-body in favor of the Lincoln as an homage to the Barris Batmobile of the '60s.
