Is there a GPS with KITT’s voice?

Apparently the lightbar/scanner is a legal issue with all of the KITT replicas (there are many). In all 50 states it is illegal to have red lights on the front of the vehicle while it is on the road. So most people leave it off and only turn it on when it’s parked and being admired.

Not finding the pinball game in the auction, or a friend of mine would already be bidding on it (and I’d be playing on it in a few weeks). Sigh.

Huh. You’d think KITT would have leather seats.
I’ve seen a number of replicas at car shows, and they do “talk,” if only via recordings of quotes from the show.

Something about the idea of a sentient being constructed from the skin of dead animals makes it way creepier than a regular car.

KITT and the A-Team Van going up for sale? What next? Automan’s Autocar and Autochopper?
@Melizmatic Aparently KITT’s AI got another gig.

Early 80’s GM cars were all about velour seating. Only Caddies had real leather.

The sense of taste and style I’ve acquired shudders at how much my inner child wants to own KITT.
That would just make it better.
