Today in Automotive History

1986 Knight Rider's Farewell

The last episode of the TV show Knight Rider aired on this day. The program featured David Hasselhoff as private eye Michael Knight, but the real star of the show was "KITT," his talking car. KITT was a modified Pontiac Firebird, complete with artificial intelligence and glowing red lights. KITT assisted Michael on his crime-fighting missions, communicating with him through a remote device Michael wore on his wrist.

P.S. - I use to watch this every week, but no I was not in love with David Hasselhoff, I like the car.

LOL! Yes, he is nothing without his robot car. Nothing!

Time to get this back in circulation, I think!
