OK you both officially rock. Him, for saving and obtaining it, and you for "getting it" why he wanted one.
Heh, it's even better than that...Fiberglass Freaks is our business. For the first time, a Bat-replica builder has been granted official DC permission to step out of the 'grey area' and produce licenced cars, able to legally use the name 'Batmobile' in referring to their cars and to *advertise*.
That being said...he's loved the car since he was a child. We met 20+ years ago while he was building the very first version, and I ended up helping him that entire summer. And he has poured his heart and soul into this business. (the last several years it's been much more a going concern than our film and video business.)
He is the kind of person who will set himself a goal and slog hard, through all adversity, to reach it. And now he has reached this. Where it will take us from here- who can guess? I will echo your sentiment, VV- he does rock, immensely.
And I do apologize for being a bit cryptic with the announcement.We've been in discussions and negotiations with DC about this since 2007. So as you can imagine, Mark and I were both a bit excited when the signed us-and-them contract *finally* arrived in our hands.
(And yes, the cars are gorgeous. Taking a ride in one is a serious blast.)
This is one of the Yahoo head lines this morning.
