What a legend. Among his many creations is one of my two childhood dream cars - KITT from Knight Rider (the other being the General Lee).

Back then you could use your imagination and creativity and make something awesome, but now days everything has to be so PC and be approved by a whole group of people. He was also a great man!

I was unaware of KITT. That car started my love for GM cars!

The General Lee got me into cars period. KITT got me into f-bodies, but also electronics. I'm in clinical engineering today. Yes KITT had a profound influence on me lol..... I was so intrigued at the electronics.

My 1st car(like, not 4x4 truck) was a 3rd Gen, 88 Pontiac GTA. It had this "awesome" digital dash, central "information display" and weird shaped seats. Was so high tech looking! One if the few cars I genuinely miss. Still break my neck to see a clean 3rd Gen to this day.
