I saw this from across the hall, and I couldn’t resist making a beeline for it. It’s a very accurate scale model of the Tumbler from “Batman Begins.” In his Maker Faire booth, Bill Mar — its creator — develops Windows embedded machines, but my big interest was the Tumbler.
Sadly it isn’t jet powered and doesn’t jump bridges on a regular basis, but it does have a built-in computer — running Windows, of course.

What a gnarly looking ride. My first thought was an F-17 for the freeway, with enough geometry to blow any radar-toutin constable off the trail. Quite the work. Good “Stuff”, and follows with the Lego Looking cars of today, with an edge on tomorrow.
