Because I don't have the money, unfortunately. Seriously, I ALMOST grabbed a 4-cyl Firebird off eBay earlier this year but didn't have the money/time to put into it. Heck, I haven't done much with Dryden (my Pontiac 6000) this year due to my moving last winter, and work, etc. I do want to program an AI for Dryden though. He's like a bit like KARR in some ways but more like KITT in others. Maybe a "reprogrammed" KARR of sorts. Now he just needs a voice (computer and AI).
I'm going to be taking some courses this fall to expand my programming skills for work, and one of the languages I'm going to learn is C++, which I want to use for programming the AI.
I still want to make a KARR replica some day. But right now, I have to watch my expenses. With school coming up, and trying to recover from getting a new fuel pump in Dryden so he can start again (that was done over the 4th of July weekend), I'm tapped out on cash.
As for my model kits, I haven't touched them in months. They are still in engine construction mode.
Eventually, hopefully, I'll get there, maybe even a real replica.
There aren't too many KARR replicas in existance, though. Which if I make such a project, it'll sure be a rare one. Mine, if I make one, will be the two-tone black/silver with REAL AI (he WILL be able to communicate with you in a normal conversation!)
Though MY KARR won't be able to drive by himself. That would take too much work. Plus, do you REALLY want KARR to be THAT mobile in real life?
