If that's the case, they might as well get rid of Bruening right now! What's the point of having a driver if he can't operate the vehicle?

Besides, how on earth is Ki3t able to turbo boost whilist not moving? Hell, even the animation itself isn't realistic!
Michael: Kitt what matters to me is who you are not what you look like. Sure we don't have the car so we can't turbo boost so we can't go over 200 miles an hour but it was all icing on the cake anyway

I'm totally awestruck every time I see it. Love how they went into the engine from the blowers and all that stuff. That was amazing!

Very good point.

Actually I think their needs to be buttons for all Kitts functions. It's much cooler to see a button pushed and then the appropriate function happens.

Are we going to hear Mike tell Kitt to turbo boost each time? Won't quite be the same as the button push and then Mike pushed back in his seat as the car launches into the boost.
I actually liked that it said Turbo Boost on the windshield, but do agree there should also be a button. But Mike wasn't even in the car when it happened, so even if there was a button we wouldn't need to see it pressed in this case.

It reminded me a lot of how the Tumbler had the "Intimidate" mode in The Dark Knight, which is a good thing. :)
