Default KITT from Knight Rider

Quote:
Actor David Hasselhoff is auctioning off his personal KITT car that he reportedly acquired at the end of the TV series. At the time of this writing, the high bid is already approaching $1 million with two weeks still go. According to the listing, if the "hammer price exceeds 25% above reserve price, the Hoff will personally deliver the car to the new owner."

I enjoyed the show, loved the car, but.....the wheels are dog ugly. I mean, they're wheels only a mother wheel could love. Probably won't be bidding on that one.

That style rim is even uglier when you take the black hubcap off.

I liked the GTA mesh wheels too, but honeycombs look like this:

Painted black on the mesh, those are the wheels that were on my '70 Lemans sport convertible that got published in Hi Perf Pontiac Mag Feb '95 issue....

I'd given a nut for high quality dustless ceramic pads back then, T/A honeycombs sucked so bad to clean.

Still better than Wagon Wheels.

Back in 1982 I thought the new Firebirds were the most beautiful cars on the road. Now it looks kinda dated but I still wouldn't mind owning one.

Regarding the show, back in the fall of '82 I had a 1967 Firebird 400 coupe. In the very first episode of Knight Rider these two hoodlums in a 1967 Firebird try to steal KITT.

I hated the new '82 'Birds and 'Meros. Never did like the looks of them. A buddy had picked up a new '82 'Mero. He loved it, but I didn't care for it. I preferred the previous generation.
