I went out to the weekly Super Car Sunday meet in southern, California today. (Great exposure when you need to sell a car) They had an old school Bat Mobile out there along with the cars creator of many iconic cars, the one and only George Barris. This car event is every single Sunday and there's always 200 plus cars and a lot, a lot, a lot of money. Lamborghini's, Ferraris, Lotus, Pantera, Nissan GTRs, and so much more.

Afterwards, a few of the mustangs and I cruised over to Neptunes Net in Malibu for lunch.

I got to meet George Barris in 1998 at the World of Wheels show in Boston. He had both the Batmobile & Grampa Munster's casket dragster. He was very cool to talk to. A true legend. He autographed a picture to me and I had it framed and it has a special place in my garage.

did ya'll ask George if he was aware he is the most hated person in the world for the destruction of so many Chargers just for his own paycheck and to present a hideous General Lee design that in itself plagues the south even today?

Why is Barris "the most hated person in the world"? He did not design or have anything to do with the "General Lee".

The "General" was designed in-house by WB's art department, inspired by the famous ridge-runner/ moonshine runner "Traveller", named after Robert E. Lee's horse.

Over the years, Barris has taken credit for several cars he was not involved with.
