ORIGINAL: HummerGuy
Wanna hear the funny part? The guy who did the voiceovers for the new series also does voiceovers for GM Truck commercials, so GM told him there is a conflict of interest since KITT is now a Ford, and forced him to give up doing the voiceovers for the new KITT.
GM did this two weeks before the series starts, next Sunday.
Guess who the NEW voice of KITT is?
Val Kilmer [&:]

This is going to be interesting
And bluezgo, I have all of the circuity coming tomorrow morning to build the custom sound sample controller box that will be linked to the lights. Whenever the strobe moved back and forth, it will make the sound from the original Knight Rider KITT. It's going to have a marine amplified speaker under the hood connected to this circuit I'm building that will produce the sampled sounds.
I'm going to have another programmable sound sample available on the chip, so I haven't decided yet what I'm going to use it for. I was going to have it talk when you open the door, but I'm not sure yet. I was thinking about the theme music thing, but I think that might be a little overkill. Hell the whole thing is overkill the way it is, but even if people buy the lights, they wont have the sound effects

I agree that pontiac would have been ideal...but the show would have had to been postponed for a few years cause they don't make them yet...that was my only point. They would need at least 10 of them on hand at one time for stunts and stuff...they got the lights from the company whose message board I run and they got enough lights or 15 cars.
Wasn't there an episode in the original series where there was a mustangthat was made into an evill KITT type car? Ican't remember...but I thought there was.....Mike...would you know?

Actually it was a Semi-Truck named KARR.
But THEN, KARR somehow blew up in a head-on collision with KITT (Don't ask me how). Later on somehow KARR came back as a replica of KITT. Or, something like that
The new re-make in 2000 had a Dodge Stealth that was transformed into the new KITT. That one was SWEET!

I actually looked all the clips up this morning on YouTube You swear I remember a show I watched when I was 8.
Now Airwolf, well, that was neck and neck with Knight Rider.

So, I was going to take pictures of the process, but decided what the hell, I'll video tape it.
I'll have the 2 parts uploaded soon. It's going to take a while to convert from this vid camera.
It's about 14 minutes long, so I'll split it into two parts.
Should be up this afternoon sometime
