Anything '66 Batmobile related is of course really cool, spot on once again,
and you kept it below 60 MPH otherwise the Batmobile would have blown up!

How about a mileage indicator that states mileage at 1,966 miles?

I watched a YouTube video about a father & son team that 3d printed a Lamborghini.
Anything is possible. Maybe tech will increase and 10 years from now we can all make one. :D

Another great job! The real prop was a speedometer from a 1953 Buick Skylark, Super or Roadmaster with the background behind the numbers painted dark gray or black, with the Bat-logo covering the odometer and trip odometer.
