Frickin’ Sweet. Another one of my life long dreams could now possibly come true. KITT, David Hasselhoff’s Trans Am “sidekick” from the 80’s hit series, “Knight Rider” is for sale. For a mere $149,995 you could become the proud owner of Knight Industries Two Thousand (KITT). Well, really you’d own 1 of 4 that were made for camera close-ups and action packed scenes with The Man, Hasselhoff.
For some reason the seller, Johnny “Vette” Verhoek of Kassabian Motors, is claiming that KITT cannot actually “achieve 300 mph, soar 50 ft through the air, or shoot smoke bombs.” That’s kinda strange to me since I’ve clearly seen KITT do those very things. I figure he must be trying to prevent mass hysteria as everyone scrambles to own this piece of 80’s awesomeness.
Enough of what they claim KITT won’t do, what does work are two working video screens on the dashboard, and the cockpit features buttons that light up in green, yellow and red: ski mode, rocket boost, micro jam, silent mode, oil slick and eject. Verhoek notes that the car can’t hold a conversation or drive itself. Enough of the lies Mr. Verhoek, if that is your real name.
You are undoubtedly trying to decide if it’s safe to sell both of your kidneys to buy KITT for yourself. Let me save you the trouble: don’t bother, it’s so mine. I’ve been doing the math, and at the current rate of $0.27 a day I’m earning here it will only take me 555537.03 days to have enough to buy it. Sweet.
