Looks like KITT from Knight Rider is for sale on Ebay, with the *Turbo Boost* function and all. Well, not really. It’s a replica but it sure does look like the real thing. Between that and the Delorean (from Back to the Future), those represent two of my favorite on screen vehicles/ machines ever. However, KITT would totally stomp on Delorean if they ever were in a boxing match. I could also do without David “Baywatch” Hasselhoff.
The car is a remodeled ‘84 Pontiac Trans Am, has 200,000 km on it and is sold by a Canadian. By the sound of it he is in Toronto. He wants C$30,000 for it, and claims to have invested over $40,000 and 4 years redoing the whole car.
I want it! But for that kind of money, I think I’ll stick to just ooh’ing and aah’ing. Looks like nobody has bid on it yet (at the time of writing this) and the auction is ending today. That is one fine looking car or maybe I am the one that only thinks so.
Maybe someday Santa Claus will bring me one for Christmas. What’s that?… he doesn’t exist? …. Nooo.

Wow. I’m actually a bit young for Knight Rider but I’ve heard of KITT. I can hardly believe he’s selling it on Ebay for that amount though. I’m sure he’s spent a lot on it but Ebay just doesn’t feel like the right tack.
Hehe, my anti-spam word was “miles”.

I dont know if I could get used to the steering wheel. I like to just put one hand on the top of a normal one. I dont do the 10 & 2 o’clock hold.
BTW, I thought you would enjoy seeing this mini Miles.

joeblog: not sure what uber cool is but i guess i know what you mean … it’ll be awesome!
kris: I think even if you were old enough to see it, I think it was more of a boy thing. Don’t think you would have like it — I might be wrong. I will keep saying it… Knight Rider rocks! lol
About the spam word, yes J picked the word.
DotMySpot: thanks, come back to visit soon!
Janvangogh: Move over everyone … famous artist at The Foo Logs!
You are right, I was actually thinking the same thing, it’ll be kind of hard to drive with the steering wheel. I don’t do the 10 and 2 hold too but a round steering wheel would be easier to steer in tight spots. Then again, if you have the KITT car… it’ll park itself. 
Thanks again for the link.
