Ok, I have a little boy who's birthday is June 1. His hero is Batman. Does anyone know the man who drives the bat car in Kingwood? I believe his name is John Salazar... I have no idea how to get a hold of him. I just want my son to get a picture with it on his bday. I can't tell you what it would mean to him. If anyone can help me please respond to this or email me at cassidy.brooke@yahoo.com. Thank you so much!

Maybe if you contact KHOU:

KINGWOOD, Texas -- A custom car in Kingwood is turning heads, and it?s no wonder.
John Salazar said it took a year and a half to transform a Corvette into the custom made creation he calls ?The Bat Car.?
Salazar has built all types of cars in his spare time.
This time around, he said he was looking for a challenge like never before.
?To me, the top of the hill was building some type of a bat car,? Salazar said.
Salazar said almost everything from front to back of the car is custom made. According to Salazar, most of the car is formed from fiber glass.
He said it?s taken many tedious hours to tweak every little detail inside and out.
?[It?s been] blood, sweat and tears, lots of blood, literally, where I cut myself and it dripped into the car,? Salazar said.
Salazar?s 11 and 13-year-old daughters have taken a special liking to this custom made creation.
Eleven-year-old Megan Salazar said her classmates think it?s pretty cool when her dad drops her off at school.
?[They say] whoa -- it?s pretty awesome,? Megan said.
Salazar said he?s hoping to turn all of the attention toward a good cause. He?ll be showing off the car at a benefit for cancer research over the weekend.
?The Bat Car? will be at the Cure Fest at the Humble Civic Center Saturday beginning at 11 a.m.
Event-goers will be able to take photos with the car. Salazar said a raffle will also be held to give someone the opportunity to take a ride.
?The best part of having the car is being able to give back,? Salazar said.
KHOU asked Salazar what it could cost an eager buyer to drive off in the car.
?I would?ve made more money working at McDonald?s than I?ll ever make off the car. It?s a labor or love,? Salazar said.
The car initially started to get attention after it was posted on Craigslist for a cool $125,000. The ad had been pulled down by Thursday night.

Don't know for sure that this IS him however one location is an automotive shop... the other a residence. Could very well be him. Good luck & I hope your son has a wonderful birthday!

I would send him a letter (mailed today would get it by Tue.). I wouldn't show up at his home, I agree.

freebyrdll --- 11 years ago -

I just realized his niece works for me!!! LOL! I'll talk to her Tue. She lives 3 blocks from him on Laurel Hill. 

bcassidy --- 11 years ago -

OMG that would be amazing! I dropped off a letter in his mailbox but never got a response. Maybe he just doesn't want to do it or maybe he never got it. Idk. That would truly be awesome if you could do that! 

freebyrdll --- 11 years ago -

Done! 

freebyrdll --- 11 years ago -

Ok.... so I've got to ask AK.....

AngieKaye --- 11 years ago -

AngieKaye --- 11 years ago -

Do you know the real batman?????????? LOL!!?


smart butt no :P But if you take a look at their website you would understand. A great friend of ours owns that company. 

bcassidy --- 11 years ago -

Any help would be awesome. His birthday is a week from today. Honestly, by now, I'm not expecting it to happen, but if it did that would be absolutely amazing. Have a great Memorial Day!

I've just reached out to my employee.....


"Do you know the "John Salazar" who has the Bat Car? He also lives on Laurel Hills. If so, I know a mom that would give anything if her little boy could get a picture taken with it for his birthday (June 1).... Batman is his hero! I have her email addy if any of this can happen. Thx, Jan"


I'll let you know what happens. 

bren4rmoh --- 11 years ago -

Hey bcassidy I personally know john and will ask him amd give ur email to him 

bcassidy --- 11 years ago -

Oh thank you so much. I don't want anything extravagant or anything. Just would like my son to see it, get a picture with it (as he thinks batman lives in kingwood since seeing the car ha). My husband works for HFD....we'll trade a fire truck tour just for a peak at this car! Thanks! 

freebyrdll --- 11 years ago -

Awesome!!!!! 

bcassidy --- 11 years ago -

Oh wow thank you so much for doing that! He's only 4 and wears batman costumes to the grocery store (I clearly pick my battles and that isn't one!), I can't tell you what it would mean to him. Hopefully all the reach outs will help!
