    Knightrider car is for sale.

    "KITT, the flame-throwing, river-jumping, talking muscle car from the `80s TV show "Knight Rider," is up for sale. Restored to its debut-season glory, the modified black 1982 Pontiac Trans Am is offered at $149,995 at a Dublin auto dealership. Johnny "Vette" Verhoek of Kassabian Motors has had the car, officially called Knight Industries Two Thousand, on display for about a month.

    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."

    "Most of the buttons don't do anything, Verhoek said. Nor can the car hold a conversation or drive itself.

    KITT isn't even street legal because of missing smog equipment and other modifications. Whoever buys the car will probably keep it in a private collection, or it may be purchased by a museum, Verhoek said."

    Or you can just buy the light kit to make the red lights under your Prius hood. You've already got the MFD and if you have NAV *your* car talks.

    My car is more advanced that KITT. Well, except for the smoke bombs, but I heard that mod will be offered in the Prius Store sometime soon.

    Lol - If I had the money, I would buy it. No questions asked, hands down, sight unseen. I LOVED that show growing up!

    I think I'd rather have a George Barris designed Batmobile from the 60's TV series...
