Comment - The Batmobile

Has anyone else received this kind of comment on their SL?

A Few Different People Have Made the Comment That My SL600 Looks Like the BATMOBILE.

It's funny that you say that, because i showed my SL to one of cousins a couple of weeks ago, and he called it the "Batmobile"...after i let him drive it, he called me as a joke a few hours later saying this is Robin looking for Batman and his batmobile...so maybe there is some truth to this. Either way, it looks great.

The Murcie means Bat in Spanish. Or is it Italian?
