Knight Rider GPS: Talk to Me, K.I.T.T.

Wednesday December 3, 2008
Knight Rider GPS

I'm not one for getting drunk and eating hamburger off my kitchen floor, but I do harbor a David Hasselhoff fantasy -- and it involves having a souped-up talking Trans Am.

Now, the voice from K.I.T.T. the car from Knight Rider could be telling you where to go. Mio Technologies' technology has introduced a $260 GPS based on the Hoff's pre-Baywatch TV show, and it features William Daniels, the disembodied dashboard voice with an apparent psycho-sexual obsession over Michael Knight, "a lone crusader in a dangerous world."

The Knight Rider GPS is one of the top items on my Weird Gift Wish List, but of course you are also happy to buy me Hulk Smash Hands, Gourmet Bacon, or a Fish Tank Coffee Table.

The Knight Rider GPS is awesome. It looks great, sounds great and does everything you need your GPS to do. Navtones.com provided the voice for the unit so you know it’s the real deal. Navtones does Mr. T, Kim Cattrall, Dennis Hopper and more, all real celebrity voices for GPS. Now they have KITT and I can’t get enough of it!

Cool! I always loved that show! “Memories… like the corners of my mind…”
