KITT from Knight Rider

KITT had many variations throughout the Knight Rider series. The original KITT was a 1982 Pontiac Trans Am. It was a 2 door coupe with front engine and back-wheel drive. It was fitted with customised after burners and had a turbo jet. KITT could go from 0-60 mph in 2 seconds.

20 cars were purchased for the show. Many of them were destroyed after the show. 5 still remain and the original is now stored away and is occasionally brought to conventions.

The name KITT stands for Knight industries 2000 but who says that. I didn't know that until today. We all just know it as KITT. KITT was voiced by William Daniels which 90's kids would know as Mr Feeny from Boy meets world.

So what other things could KITT do besides the obvious Turbo boost and seat ejection

  • Molecular shell to protect itself during explosions
  • Heat resistant with the use of Pyroclastic lamination
  • The control of other machines using the Electronic Jamming system
  • Flame throwers, tear gas and flares
  • Silent mode 
  • Shock resistant protection for Michael or other passengers while they were under attack using Passive Layer resistant system
  • Analyses chemicals
  • Over ride the AI where Michael could take over control of KITT
  • Surveillance mode
  • Grappling hook
SPOILER ALERT!!!

KITT could not drive itself sorry to burst any bubble. It was driven by a stunt man lying on the floor.  

Thank you so much for reading my blog post. I watched Knight Rider a lot as a child and even though it originally ran before I was born I got to see it growing up through reruns. KITT could have been the car that got me interested in cars and that is because it was so cool looking. Here is the website where I got the information for this blog. The next car blog I will do will be on the cars that were reguarly on the Waltons. There was many cars on the Waltons so I will probably do a blog on each separately but we will see. What was your favourite thing about KITT or Knight Rider in general. Mine would have to be Turbo boost. Here is a funny video done by Irish comedian doing a mock of Knight Rider.

Self Confidence and How it has affected me

I done this blog post a few months ago  O ne of the main reasons I have anxiety is because I have low self confidence. My low self confidence is more so in the way of my ability in being able to do future tasks rather than in how I look. Some nights I ask myself questions like how will I cope tomorrow if I don't sleep tonight?, will I be able to do the task I set out for myself tomorrow? therefore telling my self that I am not strong enough in such a situation. That sort of thinking lowers my self-confidence. This still happens me at times but now I try and tell myself that no matter what it will be ok. I am strong enough to deal with it. If I feel I am too anxious to think that way I talk to my brother and he tells me they are just thoughts, I will be strong enough to deal with it and then it reassures me that it will be ok and I will get through this. The last few weeks my self-confidence has gotten better and I am taking on more tasks. I feel I have a new found freedom. I used t...

Novena to St. Francis Xavier (4th of March to the 12th of March 2020)

Most amiable and most loving St. Francis Xavier, in union with thee I reverently adore the Divine Majesty. The remembrance of the favours with which God blessed thee during life, and of thy glory after death, fills me with joy. I implore thee to obtain for me, through thy powerful intercession, the inestimable blessing of living and dying in the state of grace. I also beseech thee to obtain the special favour I ask of this Novena. (Make your request here...) But, if what I ask is not for the glory of God, and the good of my soul, I pray and desire that which is the most conductive to both. Amen. Pray for us, St. Francis Xavier. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Let Us Pray. O God, Who didst vouchsafe, by the preaching and miracles of Saint Francis Xavier, to join unto Thy Church the nations of the Indies, grant, we beseech Thee, that we who reverence his glorious merits may also imitate his example, through Jesus Christ, Our Lord. Amen. Pray three times the Our Fath...

The Regular cars on the Waltons

Here is a list of some of the cars that appeared on the Waltons  John Walton had a 1928 Model AA Ford 1 and a half ton pickup truck John-boy had a 1929/30 Ford Model A Coupe Jim-Bob had a 1926 Ford Model T This one could be the one he built himself Curt had a 1932 Ford Model B Sedan Delivery The Walton's family car in later seasons was a 1941 Plymouth Woody Station Wagon The Baldwin sisters could have had a 1925 Studebaker Cindy had a 1939/40 Ford convertible I couldn't find what make car Ep Bridges had and the website I saw wasn't sure about the Baldwin sisters car. My favourite of these cars would have to be Cindy's car because red is my favourite colour especially in a car. Fact about John Walton's truck. Sometimes it would not run so they would have to put a rope around the front bumper and some of the crew men would pull the truck into or out of the shot. Most of the vehicles were hard to steer. I found out about this fact on Judy Norton's (Mary Ellen) yout...
