I want KITT, and not some stripped down model either. I want the Turbo Boost, ejector seat, etc. But then again, I imagine he uses a lot of gas and likely the high-end stuff too…

KITT is powered by liquid hydrogen… so it might be tough to find a fueling station.

Haha! KITT would be nice! Ahhh… the memories of Knight Rider! I loved that show…

That’s what we’ll need here pretty shortly with all of the people trying to get multiple things done while driving!

I’m still waiting for the day that we can buy those.

Chrysler wants to set themselves apart from the automakers with this new feature. Indeed they will, with all the lawsuits they will get from innocent accident victims.

There is way too much crap in cars now that can lead to distractions. I don’t give a care if the cell phone is hands free, it is still a distraction as people focus their attention on the conversation instead of driving. Add on to that, navigation systems, DVD Players, iPods, etc.

We also have law out here that is illegal to text while driving. That was enacted after a teenage girl slammed head-on into someone while texting a few years back. She survived but the person she hit did not.

My first car had an AM/FM radio with cassette deck. The only extra my last had was a 10-disc CD changer behind the seat.

“It’s a notion of always wanting to be connected wherever you are.”

Funny, I don’t feel that way. I rarely use me cell phone and when I do it is *gasp* to make and receive calls. I don’t text, I don’t have mobile web and I also don’t have a gignormous phone bill each month (I spend about $25 every 3-4 months on air time).
