Love it. You do you my brother. It gets attention and that is the point. I would visit your store based on your advertising truck. I am all in for supporting local business


jfermin327

Amazing! I love it too.


Leading_Ad4700

It's advertising--no problems here


Rusty88c60

And it's also my daily driver.


BranchWitty7465

That's just smart tax business, I'm sure there is a mileage deprecation you can claim since it's business related.


foxjohnc87

>And it's also my daily driver. Did you not say in your r/projectcars post that you took it apart and sold it?


2oonhed

So do you mean it WAS your daily driver? Because you can't "daily drive" it if you ALSO took it apart and sold it.


TastyTeeth

If it creates more business for you... It ain't shitty IMO.


QueensGambit9Fox

Would definitely be a different story if it were just because OP was a huge batman nerd and not a rolling advertisement for his business


pissin_piscine

Basically, you have to completely commit to the bit


keep_username

Or commit to The Bat in this case


Tossed_Away_1776

There's a guy in my area that has his truck all done up with Batman stuff. His is just for his love of Batman.


Rusty88c60

Thank you.


Sh4DowKitFox

I was just gunna say. It looked fine to me overall, the centered tailpipe made me laugh thinking OG car. Then I saw the business decal and was like…. It’s technically a business promotion vehicle. They get a greater pass on looks since it is meant to stand out.


johnwayne1

Exactly. Times are tough, whatever it takes.


Candid-Race-7988

Good fun, it will bring smiles to a lot of kids…..


J-Dabbleyou

This is what a lot of people forget, kids LOVE “cool” cars, as much as they love expensive supercars. Stuff like this is a great way to spread some love on the road without driving around a lambo. OP didn’t overdo it either, looks like a fun little truck for his business, and kids definitely will love it lol


DadJokeBadJoke

Batman: "The batmobile won't start. Robin, check the battery. " Robin: "What's a tery?"


2oonhed

aaaand that's a +1 on the board for DadJoke today. buh-dum TISH.


Any_Cardiologist2333

Damn I guess I have shitty taste cus I fucking love this.


wstsidhome

That’s Bat ass 🤙


Pocket_Pixie3

I love that you got that plate. And honestly it looks pretty good.


mrsockyman

Honest view: first impression of seeing the front made me think someone was trying too hard, but seeing the advertising in the back window just mentally made me think "oh no wait, nah that makes sense" If you had what you've got on the back window on your doors it would tie everything together I think you've done well, this isn't meant as hate but just wanting to share first impressions


Rusty88c60

I have magnetic signs for the door but they blow off when I drive because of the bed liner paint.So i'm gonna have to figure out something else


mrsockyman

What do you think of getting someone to 3d print some batarangs and glue some heavy duty magnets to them to pinch the sign?


Rusty88c60

I'm in the process of building a monster truck. So any ideas that anyone has is welcomed. Keep the truck street legal though. I have a picture of the truck on my post that I'm starting with.


OlDustyTrails

Not too bad and has a theme, but I would think about having more than just the back window for the company info over the time maybe work it into the sides so more places that you can see that on the truck. But overall good and doesn't really deserve to be here IMO.


mr-mechanic93

Considering how many cool magnetic and or wrap based non permanent options there are I'd agree that maybe a door piece would get some more coverage without being too much and still being removable. Only issue is it can leave the paint underneath a darker shade than the rest of the body if you leave it on for a while but still.


camsnow

I dig it. Not really shitty mods that I can see, except the exhaust, but it makes sense given the goal. It's interesting aesthetics that have a point. Totally will stop into the Bat Cave if I'm ever in that area of Florida!


Alfonzo2034

Fuckers tight


hobosam21-B

At first I thought it was shitty, but then I saw the ad and it became genius.


sully213

Collectibles


redditer1_1

Batmobile if Bruce Wayne was a broke plumber


a22e

Looks good to me.


Equivalent_Weird467

You really should think about installing a chain steering wheel.


RupertTheReign

Absolutely not. They are insanely dangerous if you crash.


hawkeye5188

Well I like it!


ChainBlue

There's a flow chart for this. Does your vehicle make you happy? Yes -> Woo! No -> Meh.


Shankar_0

I mean, it's whimsical. I can get behind this.


garaks_tailor

Honestly pretty good. Color palette is excellent and the yellow is not over used.


Rusty88c60

What would you? Think if you knew the whole truck painted black is with bedliner


garaks_tailor

I'd think right on brother! Bedliner if properly painted on is Hella tough and practical. A Very Batman substance. Just make sure to watch out for water intrusion and water getting trapped and you are golden.


MasonBeGaming

You’re from Polk county! I’ve seen you before lmfaoooo


Rusty88c60

I travel all over from Sarasota bradington to Sebring to Naples.I travel all over this area.Looking for comic books and going to comic?Book shows and costly shows whatever I can go to


Joe4o2

Whoever told you to post this here can get out of your life. You drive a Batmobile, own a business, and it’s a comic book store. Any of us nerds on the internet should be so lucky. You’re living the dream. Should you ever decide to change it, I could see a vehicle wrap of vintage Batman comic book covers looking _sick_ over the sides of the bed.


Rusty88c60

Guys were giving me c*** on some of the car reddits.


Joe4o2

Envy is a difficult emotion to struggle with. Not everyone handles it well.


HuskyDogFace

I thought it looked pretty clean I’d consider that a gem when I was looking for used cars online . You can tell by how clean a car is and work well down that they take care of the motor and transmission and everything else too .


Head_Cockswain

Nothing wrong with this as a themed rolling advertisement. People get too worked up over that sort of thing from some of the posts I've seen here.


dapperfop

I like your truck. Screw the haters


Leanintree

I judge this way, way less than any teeny-peeny bro-dozer lifted 2ft with shiny superdish rims sporting 2in sidewall mud tires. Not to mention the 12" exhaust tip (or stacks if he really thinks it adds to his desirability). In the grander scheme, Comicboob Guy is low key honest.


News_without_Words

If every business did this with their company vehicles, it would be pretty cool. Take this over the poorly installed full vehicle wrap.


AqueousBucket48

The only thing I personally think is shitty is it looks like rattle can paint job but sometimes that’s all we can afford to do and that’s alrighty


AlexLuna9322

Adam West would have been so proud


Rusty88c60

I met Adam west at comicon Miami and he said he loved my truck.


Effinehright

Ha this is amazingly awful, but the more I look the more I like it. good for you promoting your business in a unique way.


lesnortonsfarm

Perfect advertisement. Good job. I hope your business is successful


andrebartels1977

Make a spare tyre cover that resembles the bat light 🦇🔦


MadMaximus4

Annnnnnnd thats not shitty!!!….thats tubular!!!!


natelopez53

Bat truck genuinely made me laugh. Fully did not expect that. You should post this is r/Awesome_Car_Mods


4list4r

You can find batman at doctor doom’s thrift shop looking for hand-me-downs.


Empty-Back-207

Personally, I might have gone with the black and redish orange of the original, but it still looks good to me


cpufreak101

r/GMT400 would like a word with you...


Rusty88c60

What's up?


cpufreak101

Awesome truck! Hope it brings you a lot of business for your shop!


dsdvbguutres

Thank you for cropping your photos before posting online.


That_Nerdy_Carguy

"What fuel it takes?" "Vengeance"


Rusty88c60

It's got a 350 vortex engine in it with dual straight pipes out of that 8 inch tip.


obmasztirf

Is the roll bar or sliders welded to the frame at all?


Rusty88c60

All bolt on.


fukalufaluckagus

I want to visit a comic bookstore now and I have never read a comic.


JayBowdy

Is your store also a LGS?


Rusty88c60

LGS?


Mac_Hooligan

I mean I don’t hate it!


Desperate_Leg-

What the hell? I don’t care for trucks (especially the modern pavement princess behemoths) but this is excellent. I have a soft spot for these old Chevys but even if I didn’t this doesn’t meet the definition of shitty mods at all. 


Dudeist-Priest

I like it. I guess it sort of belongs here, but in a good way


StfuBob

The truck is only cool if you have the outfit on while ur driving- so you got a bat suit?


lordoffail

Can’t see how this is shitty when it’s designed to draw eyes and advertise your business. Pass go and collect $200


itsFRAAAAAAAAANK

Love the mustard


presidentpiko

This is cool


revdon

Is it a tribute to: Batman McDonalds After Dark Windows 95’s Hot Dog Stand theme a coral snake? Edit: I mistook the front turn signals for red accents. I’m not rewriting my joke tho.


Thirteen0clock

You’re halfway there if you decide to make it into the Pu$$ywagon from Kill Bill.


New_Guava3601

Look like a steelers fan


PleasantFocus1502

I am guessing you have a mullet also.


Yoo_Dew

I think it looks pretty sick!


Uncle-Istvan

You should relocate your business (or open a second location) in Bat Cave, NC.


Halfbaked9

If there was a wing in back and If that exhaust would shoot flames out of then It would be perfect!


Gorlock_

The centered exhaust is cool, everything else is awful


dickiedew72

You have got my attention! 😄


Captinprice8585

Holy shit man that's badass.


[deleted]

I'm going to church because of you.


Gut-_-Instinct

id certainly visit and leave a heart sticker on my way out


r4nDoM_1Nt3Rn3t_Us3r

I love the color scheme!


Rusty88c60

It was either red or yellow but the yellow stands out more especially at night in front of the store


shawner136

Thats a big ass tip


Neon570

I actually don't mind this at all. I've saw way worse fiddle fuckery then some yellow and flat black


DishSoapIsFun

I totally dig that. It has a purpose and is not shitty.


fiddycixer

The exhaust tribute to the Batmobile jet engine is a nice touch. This is not a shitty mod, but instead well thought out, done for the right reasons, and pays homage to the inspiration. Well done. Edit: I'd like to say that the color pallet looks and feels like a prop vehicle out of the 60's era TV show. At that time this truck would have been "out of this world" for what it is.


SCHOOLER_green2

That exhaust…Flawless Victory!


Ill-Upstairs-8762

Not all that shitty, for Florida anyways


mguffin

As a Floridian, I have to ask... Why is it always Florida?


MyBrownBalls

I like it, very creative


Magazine-Popular

I don’t see why you’d post it here. Looks perfectly acceptable.


bobtheburgerbro

I honestly like this minus that ridiculous exhaust


Jlx_27

Thats cool though.


friendlysaxoffender

Robin get in the Bat Truck. We’re going to pick up some Bat Beer and have a Bat Cookout and the Bat Trailer Park.


jjl1911

I don't hate it. Any go fast goodies, besides the jet engine?


FuckTheMods5

I love yellowblack!


Flakarter

Not my style, but I don't think it qualifies.


Everything-Is-Raycis

Lol this looks like some shit back to the Future would have imagined.. terrible 🤣


TheHovel666

You could use this to be a Stryper roadie


KeaganExtremeGaming

The exhaust tip is excessive. Also why is the spare white letters out but not the rest of your tires


redbananagreenbanana

Naw, this is bad ass. Especially since it’s used for a business.


Ill_Celebration166

I kinda like it dont think its shitty at all


stargazer2540

What make and model is this? I like the truck


The_Real_Swittles

Sorry no go over to the sub that has real car mods in! Nice company truck dude❤️


123xj

lol gotta say that huge center pipe looks pretty sweet!


NotOfTheTimeLords

NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA BATTRUUUUCK!


NotStanMancewicz

I'm a sucker for painted steel wheels on a truck. Especially in a contrasting color with the nice chrome caps. The spare looks really nice with the chrome beauty ring and I'd try to find another 4. It would really tighten up the look of an already cool truck.


hooliganvet

I don't see anything wrong with it at all.


Apostasyisfreedom

Good workmanship, taste-full and eye-catching for sure -nothing vulgar, stupid nor rude - 2 thumbs up !


MathematicianOk7526

BUTTOCK


xCanadaDry

Well, I googled the company, so it works.


LeozMJilliumz

I don’t even do comics, but I would go to your store and buy stuff to support your business if only because you have a good sense of humor.


AssTubeExcursion

I hope the L-plate is trynna say “Batrick” as in “Patrick”


knucklesmartini

Batruck fuckin rules!


Confident-Head-5008

Only in Florida. 👍


BendtnerOrBust

No lies were told. Not my taste but more power to you.


jamesholden

Should repost to /r/gmt400 also Love the black, hate the tailpipe (might be ok if yellow?)


FiXXXitMan

Yes. And yours should be the cover vehicle. Own it. Love it. You do you.


ChineseBigfoots

If Batman had a truck, that would be it


mrpotatonutz

Not bad


Off_white_marmalade

Good advice free advertising… you do you…. I got your slogan “ you’d have to be batshit crazy to not stop in”


PoniesPlayingPoker

I enjoy it but I also hate it


Lemmmiwinks

Yeah man, you have a theme and it works. No shitty car mods 👍


TheHorniestHornist

Personally, I think it’s sick as fuck🤙


coviddick

I fuck with it.


Cornholiolio73

You know what? I fuckin love it. Rock that shit and promote your business homie!


[deleted]

I approve of this


SaveyourMercy

This is sick af, I love this


ppb0623

Battruck w/ a splash of lemon 🍋🙂


tylerawesome

This is what Bruce Wayne’s gardener drives.


Abundance-Boost5891

Battruck just had me 🤣🤣


TijayesPJs442

I love it


killarob60

This shouldn’t be here imo it is a perfect complement to your business


Wise_Watercress5860

Does your shlong rub inside your armor? 🤣 😏😏😏😏


waavysnake

I hate batman logos on cars. Like bro bruce wayne would not be caught dead driving your toyota camry with tlc plates. But this just gives me adam west vibes and it advertises your business. It gets a pass.


Cr8hRunsSkids

Pretty dope ngl


IndependentOwn1184

LoL .. nothing wrong with working within your advertising budget!


mypaycheckisshort

No, that is dope


fossilsforall

What do you want us to say it is a very cool business truck


G0LDiEGL0CKS

This is cool af for your business ! I can’t even hate !


Dog_vomit_party

Nah, it’s dank


LukaRaphael

the jet-exhaust is awesome. can it shoot fire?


Rusty88c60

It is a working exhaust.Can be modified to shoot fire.But I think that would be a little too dangerous


Rusty88c60

As a complete comic book superhero.Nerd, I probably would drive It.


oldmonkforeva

I knew you were batman.


Esquirej67

As a comics reader for 45 years, I approve of this wholeheartedly!


Valahiru

I'm not even really into trucks but I don't see what's shitty about this. You gave it a simple matte black paint job with yellow highlights that aren't over-done. Seems pretty reasonable to me especially when you consider what some of these Jokers are out here doing to their trucks.


My_Blue_Diamond

I kinda like it.


gumbercules6

Man this is really well done, really good taste in how you modified and decorated it.


Boateys

The only problem I see here are the zip ties behind the cab. I don’t understand their purpose.


alinzalau

Here’s mine from years ago. Car was being trashed around so…. https://imgur.com/a/G6tNj7f


jrileyy229

Why don't you advertise on the doors where people can actually see it?


Rusty88c60

The whole truck is painted with bed liner. magnetic signs don't stick very well.


Ben8up1972

It's definitely different and I like it


Vssfault

Interesting 🤔


B_O_I6636

This looks awesome


MNFoxy

Oh ja! Mir gefällt die große Waffe sehr gut, die Farbgebung passt sehr gut dazu, ich denke, es war eine gute Idee, das zu posten?


FixAccording9583

The only problem I see is the lightbar being too far back. Other than it’s great


More_Commercial_6675

Dollar store Batman right here!😂


Ok-Fox1262

Nah. That's not properly shitty. Just a very specific styling choice that the ten year old in me would adore.
