It even had the license plate &#8220;Knight&#8221;. Figured I was either seeing things, or it was just a silly knockoff.<\/p>\n<p>Later I spotted the same car in a parking lot and went in for a closer look. Turns out, this guy actually has one of the original KITT prop cars from the show and uses it as an everyday driver. Unfortunately, it hasn&#8217;t received the best of care. The scanner still works, but everything else is more or less scrap, and as you can see he has replaced part of the light array with yellow fog lamps. Still, the man drives <em><strong>KITT<\/strong><\/em> for his daily commute. Coolest thing ever or the definition of lame? You decide.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-2998 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.caskeys.com\/dc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/kitt_0003.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.caskeys.com\/dc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/kitt_0003-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-3003\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-3003'>\n\t\t\t\tI wonder if he plays the theme while driving?\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.caskeys.com\/dc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/kitt_0002.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.caskeys.com\/dc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/kitt_0002-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-3002\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-3002'>\n\t\t\t\tScanner works, but those yellow fog lamp replacements hurt the effect.\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.caskeys.com\/dc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/kitt_0001.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.caskeys.com\/dc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/kitt_0001-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-3001\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-3001'>\n\t\t\t\tAll original, too bad it&#8217;s in horrible condition.\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.caskeys.com\/dc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/kitt_0000.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.caskeys.com\/dc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/kitt_0000-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-3000\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-3000'>\n\t\t\t\tIt&#8217;s fuzzy, but yes, the plate says &#8220;Knight&#8221;.\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Knight Rider lives on in Paris.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2998","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-pointless-pontification"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5lNM5-Mm","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.caskeys.com\/dc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2998","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.caskeys.com\/dc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.caskeys.com\/dc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.caskeys.com\/dc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.caskeys.com\/dc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2998"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/www.caskeys.com\/dc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2998\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7066,"href":"https:\/\/www.caskeys.com\/dc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2998\/revisions\/7066"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.caskeys.com\/dc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2998"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.caskeys.com\/dc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2998"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.caskeys.com\/dc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2998"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
