"American company Fiberglass Freaks is producing officially licensed, road-legal 1966 Batmobiles.

I've always thought it'd be funny if some high-end modification shop undertook a project to take a Prius and soup it up -- put in a massive gas-guzzling engine, fat tires, and so forth -- just to tweak the enviro-weenies who drive a Prius with religious fervor.

Well, on price, for one point...
Mark: I like the idea, but unfortunately, it would be a violation of federal law to do so and operate it on the street.

Though you could take a Prius and gut it and put it on a different chassis, and that would be legal.

I'd love to see a redneck Prius with a 12-inch lift kit and 35-inch Baja Claw tires - and a Dodge 2500 under the hood!
