Without thinking KITTs like "I gotta save my pal!" And Michael just knows KITT and him are gonna be great partners. I love Knight Rider. You can't change that.

This sequence is the true definition of friendship between Michael and KITT. I mean KITT is literally bursting through brick walls to rescue him. And I agree the start up, the music when KITT broke out of Comtron gives me chills.

Well, I mean, I do think we hear devon say while on the phone with Micheal while the latter is on the phone "we may have to resort to other means temporarily".

Just one thing I'm not sure how to really come up with an explanation for is how k.i.t.t was able to get cordinents to where Micheal was to pin point where he was.

they did an amazing job of making the car seem like a real robot considering the technology available when this series was made, I was thrilled to find the series as a DVD box set with all the episodes on it. I loved the car when I was a teenager and it was so much fun to see the series again. I had my previous episode of the series back then and watching them again and seeing the friendship between michel and the car was nostalgic for me.

I really truly honestly did,do still love Knight Rider . Wow !
