rumor has it that most cars of the future will have them for safety reasons; smacking head/face into them in accidents/easier viewing of instrument panels. but just rumor for now. (heard they're also planning on eliminating e-check as early as this december...yay!!) my mom called the Ohio State High...

http://pic11.picturetrail.com:80/VOL377/1405620/4404506/55081265.jpg we've had this guy for about a year. not much of a lookalike i realize...but if you look close enough you'll see that his name is K.I.T.T. which we tell people is short for Knight Ind. 2000 : ) he's a sweet dog. not too bright tho...

yeah, the last episode on every disk refuses to play. it finally gives up on trying and stops the disk. i'm taking it back tomorrow.

Hehe, I'd like to see someone try that on a car not equipped with power steering, specially when maneuvering in tight parking spaces. :lol:

yeah...that might suck

fortunately they are NOT illegal here in beautiful Ohio! i made mine out of a '91 chevy cavalier steering wheel, a hack saw, epoxy and black paint and i LOVE it. in fact i think it is light years easier to use than a full circle one. for turns, i put the end of a wing in the palm of my hand and spin...

haha..no i dont care. i spent so many hours on it i'd recognize it anywhere! i think its the prettiest out there. it took a lot of time to get it the right angle since it was originally a straight on shot of a scanner.

no thanks, i LOVE my T-tops. personally i wouldnt want the car without them

you know the only problem with the picture i used for my desktop...and i only noticed this (of course) after spending so many hours on it..i picked a car without T-Tops. when it gets warm, i'll go take a picture of my car from the exact same angle and just cut the T-tops off and put them on this one.

Hey, Ben, beautiful pictures, I love your car. Well here's somethign to let you dream a little :lol: http://img137.exs.cx/img137/6700/2001kitt9sw.jpg dont think i didnt notice you took the scanner off my pict for this. cheater : ) i found a sweet font for mine too: http://img.photobucket.com/albums...

You don't need an iPod to hear the song. You just need to have iTunes installed which is a free download on apple.com/itunes . If you click on the link we provided you can hear a free 30 second sample through iTunes, which you can hear it's obvious Knight Rider influence. If you like the song, you ...

i need them to surface here in little 'ol dayton ohio USA

I only hope they don't do a total retro here, as Ford did with their Mustang- that is definitely the worst looking Mustang ever made! Even DC can make a better-looking car than that! If they wanted to revive the old Mustang, why not just launch a special "History Edition" and leave the cu...

anyone seen the 2006 Mustangs? mmmm... very beautiful tribute to the 70's body style incorperated into a modern car. i think it would be amazing to see pontiac do something like that to the Firebird. even if it was off the 70's body style it would be awesome. i know WE'd all like them to do one for ...

i'm reporting them as well. i hate people who steal to gain for themselves.

OK, I agree with Dan on this. I never liked SPM KITT. I thought it was really reaching for the kids market. KITT always seemed with the realm of possiblity for me. SPM doesn't. But then again, I didn't like when they changed the voicebox on KITT from the flashing red box to the 3 line, LED version,...

Yes, it will be similar.. All the same features will be incorporated (as seen in this early pic from Aoshima)... OK, last time.... THEY'RE THE SAME CAR!!!! Ertl is shipping to Aoshima, who will box them in the Asian box. The car, complete and painted, will come from Ertl. Aoshima is just sticking t...

i LOVE those cars. very sweet.

paul walker is such a crappy actor. seriously. horrible.

of course you all realize that those of us who said "be patient, this is just a protoype, the ERTYL will be the exact same as the Aoshwhatever model" are now sitting back, chuckling slightly and shaking our heads at those who just wasted 12 pages on dogging ERTYLs "mistakes" and ...

Nah, that's defo a silver strip going round the windscreen...look around the headlights....they just duplicated what was there, round the screen. stupid. i have just checked my 1.18 smokey and the bandit and it DOES have that silver strip round the screen and headlights...exactly the same car, howe...

and this one. but its too big to post on here for the dial up people : )

most of you have already seen both these though. been slackin' by not making any new ones. sorry!

as for this being a dissapointment...it shouldnt be. as said above, this MAY NOT be the final. this is probably the EXACT model (and probably only being a prototype) that they used for the original press pics first posted on this thread.

looks crap. but if it IS a convertible version, it might be worth getting...i'm getting the aoshima in any case now cos i'm not impressed. maybe you people should turn up the brightness on your monitor. not only is this NOT a convertable but there is definitely a overhead consol. i think this will ...

yeah that sucks. maybe they'll get a team together to sit down and scratch that off them all before they ship out : )

you guys didnt know LEDs could dim? all new Macs incorporate this. the power button has an LED behind it and they fade slowly in and out when put to sleep or pressed to shut down.
