I, too, hate the idea of getting old, but 160 is two lifetimes. I worry that I'd see to many people I'm rather fond of disappear. But, that aside... I'd like to see how those conversations go. I can't imagine anyone would believe you, probably even after you demonstrated your invincibility, because it's... chocolate. (-; There's probably also the option of just eating all 12 yourself and living for 1920 years.
Hehe, I didn't even think about what a nightmare it'd be once my friends knew about it. I bother the few friends I know with cars way more than is strictly necessary--and in this case they wouldn't even owe me for gas money! "Oh, it just takes a second, come on..."
The more I think about it, the more I think most of these items are meant as a team-up scenario. You get your friends together, all take different things, and then fight crime? do something interesting (probably fight crime).
You know... Rahm and the Batman are a complicated issue. I have a feeling he supports him on a lot of levels, but due to the nature of being mayor of a naturally corrupt Gotham Chicago, he has to pretend to at least be a bit aloof about it (while secretly having Batman bedsheets or something). The taxi issue is definitely one of the most difficult problems. As with many Batman-related problems, it comes down to whether you can support unlawful behavior that is performed with good intentions, or if you believe the slippery slope theory (Rahm, I think, is on the slippery slope, but he was carrying an ice pick). Also, the Batmobile is technically within limousine dimensions, and a freelance (therefore tax-free) limousine-taxi is precisely the sort of thing Rahm would not be allowed to tolerate in his city if he wanted to maintain his credibility. I think on his first day in office Rahm would put up the Batsignal and they'd have a nice little chat over hors d'oeuvres and Alfred would have to build a new, smaller Batmobile just for taxiing purposes (and for navigating streets like Lake or Wells more efficiently... I mean, the update is lost past-due).
Also, should I run into Rahm in the Loop (which has happened now to several of my co-workers), I know exactly what I'm going to ask him about. ^_^
