I cant be the only one to find "the spider car" creepy.

If something like this muddled towards me I would scream like a dotty old woman and thoroughly crap all over myself.

It's pretty cool, but a little pointless.

Spidercar, Spidercar, friendly neighborhood Spidercar!

....friendly, but quite shaky!

Decidedly the 'in' thing this summer, girls.

They should've made this one of Shadow's vehicles in Sonic '06.

I like it. It's a certainly noisy, though.

"Where are we going?"

"We're going to follow the spider car."

"WHY?!"

That kid wins.

Wild Wild West, Jim West, desperado, rough rider
No you don't want nada
None of this, six gun in this, brotha runnin this,
Buffalo soldier, look it's like I told ya
Any damsel that's in distress

Rough neck so go check the law and abide
Watch your step with flex and get a hold in your side
Swallow your pride, don't let your lip react,
You don't wanna see my hand where my hip be at,

They gonna have to mass market those in the future. Maybe even make them move like other animals. Hell, they should be able to transform.

Aww, I was hoping for this.

There's actually a fairly amusing story behind the Spidermobile. Spidey didn't want it, he thought it was a stupid idea. But a car company gave him some needed cash to promote their stuff by driving around in it. I t was only about five issues before he drove it into the bay.

There's a decent summary of the Spider-Mobile's comic book history here:

The real life story behind the Spider-Mobile is pretty interesting too. Here's an extract from an interview with writer Gerry Conway in Titan Books' Comics Creators on Spider-Man.

I have to ask about the Spider-Mobile. Did you have problems with the whole concept?

I love the Spider-Mobile. There's a Toys 'R' Us that my daughter and I used to go to in Santa Monica. She always wanted to go on this little ride there, and it was a Spider-Mobile! But to explain: as an administrator, Stan Lee's strong suit was that he was not an administrator. When the business people would come to him and say they wanted to do something, Stan would always say, "Okay". Some toy company came to Marvel, and said they could sell a whole bunch of Spider-Man toys if Spidey had a car. So Stan told us to give Spider-Man a car. I pointed out that Spidey was a web-swinger and cars go on the ground, a potential conflict. Stan said he didn't care how we did it as long as we gave Spidey a car. He even said we could sink it if we wanted, so we did. We came up with a story where Spider-Man gets a car, and it sinks in the East River.

So, the comic's story wasn't too far from the actual story. I see...

Yeah, when I heard about the story I basically imagined a car driving up a building, like Spider-Man. Not to say I was disappointed by seeing an actual moving mechanical spider-vehicle, but still. It would have been cooler.

So...like Beast Wars, only real?

Except that they wouldn't be sentient.

When I heard it move, I shat bricks.

Well, I think I remember mechanicals spiders in the animated Spiderman that didn’t suck, they where kind of cool.

Ah yes, the Spider-Slayers.

It needs a bazooka and a few mini-guns.

This car... it looks kinda... evil, don't you think?

The guy's a supervillain in training. Why build such a vehicle if not for evil?

To be the laughingstock of the town?

Can't you do both?

Yeah. Just look at Lex Luthor from the old Superboy comics.
