Hello all, I'm a long time Knight Rider fan, but a newb to this forum. Anyhow... On with my point/argument... I read some of the faq and came across something I felt like bringing up. K.I.T.T.'s body is composed of the theoretical material tri-helical MBS (plasteele 1000), which has a yield point, a...
