Knight Rider Car for Sale

Posted by samzenpus on from the I-work-for-the-knight-foundation dept.

It's time to put on your leather jacket and get ready to hit Turbo Boost. The talking 1982 Pontiac Trans Am from the 80's hit Knight Rider is up for sale. No word on if it comes with David Hasslehoff but with a price tag of $149,995 I'm sure it won't be on the lot for long. I wonder how much the Knight Foundation will give me on a trade in for Magnum PI's Ferrari?

    It's a trap! As has recently been discovered, KITT is a Cylon!

    So, unless you particularly enjoy the thought of a genocidal car constantly messing with your mind and trying to take over your home planet, don't buy it.

    For the television show, fifty or so of these cars were produced, so it wouldn't be as hard as you would think to purchase one. Then, of course, you could always build one!

    FTFA: It is one of four documented "camera cars" used for close-up shots and scenes where David Hasselhoff, who played Michael Knight in the series, was behind the wheel.

    If I buy K.I.T.T. and park it on the streets of London, do you think the car and the Big Brother cameras will argue?

    The original KITT AI:

    Michael, are you sure that's a good idea?
    Then, in 1997, came KITTY:

    Hello, Lone-Crusader-In-A-Dangerous-World! It looks like you're trying to champion the cause of the innocent, the helpless, and the powerless in a world of criminals who operate above the law. Would you like me to:
    • Blockade the bad guys?
    • Tell you remember your seat-belt?
    • Track down the bad guy with my hypersonic moustache-sensor?
    • Do a trick?

    I would have too, except that 25 years of coffee, cigarettes and porn at 3MB/s, means that I don't get geek boners anymore without chemical assistance.


    I can't believe that show was 25 years ago, I'm feeling really old today.
