    Gloria. A friend and I were driving through Nashville, TN and we were looking for a coffee shop to recharge ourselves. The NAV found us two Gloria's coffee shops that from what we could tell, never existed in the location the car directed me. One was down a deserted road a few miles from the highway. We finally found a coffee shop, but my car is now known as Gloria, especially when the NAV lady is giving me directions.

    I'm toying with the idea of K.A.R.R.

    K.I.T.T. was a namby-pamby Good Guy.

    Now, if only one of those Knight Rider dohickeys was street-legal...

    Hey, I liked KITT! He looked so sweet, was sometimes sarcastic, talked back (thus irriating Michael), and occasionally had an attitude about him when Michael didn't see eye to eye with him. (nevermind that he was too much of a Good Guy most of the time) I think of the Prius as the closest to a real KITT as we can get at the moment. Think about it (and read some of the stuff people have posted about their Nav Lady and such)! :) It's so cool.

    God I'm such a geek.... :mrgreen:

    I named my beautiful turquoise Prius c Four....Carma.....she came to me in almost by accident....I found another Prius C Two and ordered the car to be brought up from Freso, CA but the dealer kept stalling and I found Carma near my home. I went to look at her and knew she was more than a Two because of her navigation and moonroof but the salesman told me she was a Two and had 36,000 miles on her. I used my $500.00 internet discount and sat down to buy her at $15,400. The manager of the large dealership came out holding paperwork and told me they had made a big mistake....Carma was a Prius c Four with only 26,000 miles on her...a 2014 model....I sat there and smiled and finally the manager said, " We are going to let you have this car but I want you to know you are getting one great deal as this car should be sold for $17,500 dollars" I said thank you and drove Carma home.....yes it was a great day.....
