Batman and Robin

One of my earliest memories of hanging out with Tim as young teenager was playing Batman and Robin in his big black car. I don't remember what the make and model was but it did kind of look like the Batmobile. We had all kinds of imaginary weapons on the dash board to take out the enemies.

It was a theme we included through out the years. Once, he started to drive away slowly as Lee was getting in his car, (the rabbit, not the big black one) so he could feel like Robin while jumping in a moving vehicle. Except Robin never loss balance because of an unexpected moving vehicle and bonked himself in the head with the door.

Then there was the morning that Lee and I had spent the weekend with Tim and my sister (a very common thing) and Tim was driving us to school and we were stuck behind a slow moving vehicle. Tim asked Lee to fire the missile launchers at him. Lee lowered the glove compartment door and used it as his keyboard. He made a series of beeps and bloops and hit a "fire" button. Tim then noted he would have the same code for a chocolate shake. So Lee lowered the door again made the identical beeps and bloops and then offered Tim his chocolate shake. Tim simply responded "Touché".
