That's one of the reasons I kept text off of it, because it's kind of open to interpretation. I just went with one interp. so that it wasn't just this nebulous void in the contest

KARR_Knight, I sent you an email re: a possible hosting situation.

Tim

I seem to be setting a trend for myself by entering these contests with things that are sort of within the guidelines. The idea for this entry is that it is what Knight Industries opted for their promotional look to be. In 21st century America, when no one played chess anymore, everyone was confused...

There was a thread talking about this. But yeah, I had an issue with my set (same as yours it sounds like, and had to return it. My exchanged set is fine though!

Well, KITT arrived today. I'm really enjoying him, so much cooler than even the pictures can make him out to be. Currently, as I'm working at my school's library, he's standing guard at the circulation desk, keeping his "scanners peeled." ;) The only thing that's really annoying that I've ...

Hi everyone, Last year I found in a bizzare little store the new Knight Rider PC game on clearance. Of course, as most of you know, it was nothing to write home about but it was fun in its own right (certainly better than that horrid NES game! ;) ). I don't have a PS2 let alone a region-free PS2 to ...

Wow, I didn't know the gullwings were legal in Ohio! As a side note... there seem to be MANY people on here from Ohio. That's wild. :) Any chance we can get a few people together this summer, and maybe at least one person whose got a KITT replica? I'm not real sure if I'd be comfortable driving a gu...

Well, I was calling around to local stores to see if anyone had the KITT model. One lady told me that the model wasn't made anymore. I didn't buy that till I looked around online too and many places (save for eBay and Amazon) have it as discontinued or out of stock. Are they really done making these...

What types of stores even carry this? I've looked at Toys R Us, WalMart, etc. and not found any of the big ERTL models, let alone KITT. If you bought him locally, where did you find him?

There was a comment in Return to Cadiz where KITT says he gets 200 MPG. Was that a cut, or was it in the syndication versions? I always remembered everyone speculating his real gas milage. -Steve He doesn't actually say that he gets 200mi/gallon, but that's something that he enjoys, as Michael enjo...

Is ~$34 shipped (via Amazon) about as good as it gets on this model? I want to get this and KARR, but actually with rumors of a fixed floodlight, I might wait a spell and see if they become widespread.

daroga

Yeah, it's funny to catch these in the DVD release. In Merchants of Death there's at least once (maybe more) where the driver of KITT is seated in the wrong seat. Once scene that stands out is one with just Michael and KITT talking. He's in the passenger seat. Yet, when KITT stops, he gets out of th...

Ok, this is silly and not really in the mood of the contest, but a friend photoshopped me into this picture a while back and it makes me laugh everytime I look at it. Enjoy!

Hey everyone,

Got my set exchanged today. The woman at Best Buy even threw disc 1 into the DVD player there to test it out before I left. Everything works A-OK. Finsihed up Goliath and watched Brother's Keeper. Not a hitch in either.

Cheers to everyone watching their Knight Rider glory.
daroga

In about an hour I'll be on my bike to head to Best Buy. I'll report back with what the updated set does. Hopefully the same store doesn't have the same bad press

daroga

Ok, good. Sounds like mine was a fluke. I'm looking forward to have a WORKING copy of Season 2 now.

And Fantine, awesome name yourself.

Hi all, Long time lurker, first time poster :) Just picked up Season 2 today at Best Buy. Threw the first disc into my Xbox to play and at the start of Goliath (the Universal Logo scene, no less) it skipped and stuttered and then just stopped. I've never had an issue playing any DVDs on that system....
