A deam of a "Knight Rider" like vehicle model.
Posted: Tue Mar 08, 2005 5:29 pm
I had a dream that I was in something that looked like a combination of comic book store and a hobby shop. I was looking around and came across what looked like this old model (the company logo looked like the AMT/ERTL logo, but I'm not sure about it now). And the box said "Revolver", and had a small box at an angle that read "Based on the vehicle from the series". The car on the box looked like something that was a major customized/concept car (like a combination of the prototype '89 Pontiac Fiero and that Dodge Interceptor from the movie "The Wraith" with Charlie Sheen), but the box design looked as if it were from the late 80s, early 90s.
The car, on the box, was grey (or maybe a silver that looks similar to grey) and it presented itself in two different versions. A normal "street version" (which looked rather noticable on its own if it went down the street, sticking out like a sore thumb to use the old saying) and a "Knight Rider"-style Super Pursuit mode version. I noticed that on the SPM version of the kit, it had a sticker on the inside one of the "flaps" tha said "XB-1". And the car seemed badass to me. I noticed that the box had a "$1" sticker on it and seemed like it was somewhat MIB (except the plastic film on it was coming off). I wanted to buy it, but this goth girl behind the counter said, "I'm afraid I can't sell you the whole model. But I can sell you the wheels from that kit." to which I replied, "I don't need wheels. I've got plenty of them at home (which ironically, in the waking world, I do), so I put the model down and left.
UPDATE:
After waking up, I went online to the Internet Movie Database, where I looked up the title "Revolver" to see if there were any such show that may have featured the car in my dream. I found out there are a lot of films and TV shows named "Revolver", including one that features the late Robert Urich (of "Vegas" fame) as a former FBI agent who is in a wheelchair after being shot by an assassin (which ironically came on yesterday, but didn't feature any kind of car that looked like the one on the box cover).
And as strange as it sounds, I actually wish the model was real, but I can't even remember what the model looks like now. I know I said that it looked like a cross between the '89 Fiero prototype and the Dodge Interceptor from "The Wraith", but now I'm not sure how much of the vehicle looks like what. For all I know, it could have been a concept car that I saw a long time ago (a 95 Ford GT90, pictured here)
