knight rider online

thanks for the download

know i have more proof to shove at tv.coms face!!!

Mythbusters, one of my favorite shows with a myth from one of my other favorite shows. Talk about a great combination.

It was kind of a pointless myth, if a myth at all, but was still cool all the same. Simple physics explain away any possibility of a myth.

I wonder what happened to the Camaro after filming? I'd love to buy it.

Hi KR Fans,

Cool, segment on the Knight Rider myth of Kitt entering the semi at a certain speed. You know guys and gals I never really thought about the science part of the whole stunt when you're young. Interesting... I took Chemistry in high school so, I wouldn't know about the Physics part of the stunt anyway.

Gotta to Fly Suzie

Yeah, that was pretty cool. I know it is simple physics, but when I was little I always asked my parents why KITT didn't fly through the semi when he hit the ramp. And lo and behold, the mythbusters asked the same thing, haha.

I even liked their test with miniatures.

I wished they'd explain backing out of a moving semi. Although they did it, I wanted an explanation. There was a breif explanation on the season 1 dvd set but it didnt answer my question.

Do you have to let it roll out in Neutral then when all 4 wheels are on the ground then you drop it into drive?

I would imagine you put it in drive when the back wheels hit the ground and start spinning the engine up to the speed the wheels are going. Unless you're doing a 180.

Thanks for the link! An excellent clip.

Yeah I thought that. Why didn't they just look (and show) clips from the series - it would have shown everything.

Maybe it was an excuse to do an easy MB? Or better, an excuse to show KR!
