New KITT car for Knight Rider movie unveiled
The new Knight Rider KITT car made its public debut Wednesday. And as leaked on the blogosphere last month, it’s a Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR.“Quite honestly, we thought this was the coolest looking car,” said Dave Bartis, an executive producer on NBC’s upcoming Knight Rider TV movie, set to air in February.
Just as it took two Olsen twins to play Michelle Tanner, it will take three black, cobra-branded Shelby Mustangs to play KITT. All three were rolled out for a photo op at the NBC lot in Burbank, California, where owing to the ongoing writers’ strike, plenty of parking was available.
“It’s very smooth. For 600 horsepower,” said former soap star Justin Bruening, who landed the human lead in the new Knight Rider, and spent the morning talking up his four-wheeled costar.
The Pontiac Trans Am, which played faithful KITT to David Hasselhoff’s singular Michael Knight in the original 1982-86 series, was unavailable for comment. As in, completely, totally unavailable.
“They don’t make Trans Ams anymore,” Bartis said. “So, the Trans Am’s gone.”
In its stead, Bartis said producers looked to cast a car that was (a) American-made, definitely; (b) two-door, preferably; and (c) muscular, yes.
“Obviously, we thought Mustang was the right fit,” said Ford executive Al Uzielli. “And that’s what we started pitching almost immediately.”
The show debuts on NBC on Feb 17.

Chilean judge sentences Catholic priest to recite psalms for traffic violation
A judge in southern Chile has sentenced a Catholic priest to recite seven psalms daily for three months as punishment for illegal parking.
Judge Manuel Perez says he issued the unusual sentence after Rev. Jose Cornejo claimed he could not afford the $100 fine that would have been the usual sanction for illegal parking in the city of Puerto Montt.
However, Perez denies imposing the sentence on a complete whim.
The judge told the Santiago newspaper La Tercera that he did it as a tribute to Renaissance scientist Galileo Galilei, who received a similar, three-year sentence from the Catholic Church for saying the Earth rotates around the sun.
The judge ordered a court official who lives near the priest to check daily that the sentence is being fulfilled.
The priest says he had parked in front of a school where he works because he lacks the money to pay for public parking.

Interesting Car Door
But I’m not sure if I like it. I’m not sure how it would opperate in rainy weather or if the battery died.
