Knight Rider-themed GPS system with authentic KITT voice

"Michael, you're going the wrong way, you ninny." For all you Knight Rider fans no longer moved by finding a perfect 45 rpm single of "A Knight Rider Christmas," Mio has a brand new toy that's capable of Knight Industries Two Thousand level antics. The Knight Rider-themed GPS unit has voice prompts recorded by the one-and-only William Daniels (thankfully not Val Kilmer), the original voice of KITT, and asks cordially "Hello Michael, where do you want to go today?" when powered up. The LCD display is also flanked by a series of red LEDs reminiscent of KITT's nose-mounted lights. Once the unit is available for sale, about $270 is all it'll take to get KITT in your KARR.

People that would buy that don't have anywhere to go.

The key word in that sentence was alone... LOL

Does it tell you to use the turbo boost when getting on the interstate? If not they just lost a customer.

Spectre · June 22nd, 2008, 03:35 AM

No, but it will assume that you have turbo boost and route you across chasms and bridges that are missing a span or two... images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Or it will make ETA calculations as if you had Super Pursuit mode.

Not a bad thing, just a sign of your geek level...

Does it help that I plan on getting a Trans Am?

And an automated handjob door attachment.

NooDle · June 23rd, 2008, 12:25 PM

I was about to say this is the gayest thing ever, but then I read this:

That sold it for me. I'll buy it and keep it in my room. Now, if we could only get it to say "No, Mr. Matthews!" I'd by a gross.

If you turn it sideways, it's a Cylon. Sweet deal!

Dsemaj · June 24th, 2008, 04:06 AM

I would SO get that... seriously, and I hate Sat Navs.
