I received this e-mail from Rob Louisell today about my post about the Dream Car Garage KITT segment.

Yup, I had never seen the show before the KITT segment so I was unfamiliar with the show's format.
My apologies to any fans of the show.

He can say what he wants, but he clearly was belittling the show. Was his comment (and I'm paraphrasing here), "Hm, I've got money, I could buy a Porsche or a BMW... No, let me buy an '81 Firebird!" part of every show, too?

could be.

I'm gonna have to watch a couple episodes and see what he's like with the other cars
