I’ve shared this before but seems appropriate to do it again: there was a KITT schematic that you could order from Universal back in the day. My mom scribbled the info down when this commercial ran after an episode and I received it in the mail shortly thereafter. Stoke was high til a neighbor kid nicked it from me. :/
IIRC it couldn’t even outrun/catch? a minivan in the first chase scene.
That Wraith car looks better than I remember!
It’s all dem cheeseburgers
This is the real reason.
I wonder the same thing. A local woman here in the PNW got the slushbox-equipped one for about $3K out of Vancouver, BC.
If anyone prefers the audio version of the tale, The Daily podcast from yesterday was pretty thorough.
Have a Freestar.
COTD.
Also, today I learned that the Citation was originally going to be called the Condor.
IIRC there was a Dukes of Hazzard or Knight Rider episode that demonstrated how to retrieve bags of loot by following with a pickup that had dudes with large fishhooks in the truck bed... probably not a great approach for fetching iPads though. LOL
What the what?
Safety, creature comforts, infotainment (I cringe just typing that sequence of letters.)
So were the wheels on the N32 300ZX. I was reminded of that by yesterday’s fuel injector replacement story.
Good grief... trying to put an early-model E30 on the road. What a hassle. Stole so much of my time I can’t even give it any more by sharing details.
Mazda + Audi = 3rd gen Insight?
Ain’t even mad. (Because it’s not worth it.)
Built alongside the NSX, too, right?
Glorious.
+1 for a gen-2 Mazda 5.
Good call. AWD also available if needed, though I think this relegates you to a slushbox if that matters. 6sp only available on FWD models IIRC.
I’m on the search for basically the same vehicle for the same need but AWD would be very preferable* - what do you all recommend? I’m thinking first-gen CR-V, or an early RAV4. Am I missing anything else? So far nothing American seems worth a look.
(*I live at the top of a very steep hill in a small town in the PNW -…
