Ever been DWB'd? (Driving while BATMAN!!)

I'll show you the picture first, give you some facts later, then finish it off with the reaction. So, first things first:

 

Yes, it's real.  Yes, it runs.  Maybe, it's street legal (at least in Sweden where it resides).

"Cost: over $1 million...Time: 3.5 years, 20,000 hours of painstaking work to convert a ‘73 Lincoln Continental...Contents: DVD, voice recognition, height adjustment, reversing cameras...Pleasure: Incalculable, as people gather around to oggle outside IKEA."

That million bucks also went towards internal voice recognition software, rear view cameras, and an adjustable ride height system.  Don't believe me?  Check the video below:



Seeing this had me reliving the childhood dream of sideswipping some bad guys with a Bat-hook assisted power slide just like in Batman (the Michael Keaton one, pre-Christian Bale awesomeness).  Don't know how hard it is to turn in that bad boy, but if Stretch Hummer drivers can whip those things around, I'll manage.
