Great galloping gobs of auto grease!
If Micheal Knight is not facing K.A.R.R. the evil doppleganger of K.I.T.T.,
he's facing his own driving Goliath!
But BOTH... at ONCE?! Oh, man, Micheal is gonna do some serious maneuvering!

I wish they did an episode with Karr and Goliath together.

I always wanted Goliath to have sentience like both K.I.T.T and K.A.R.R. Maybe a Hulk-like personality: "Goliath smaash!" Or somehow, get K.A.R.R into Goliath.Β

Fantastic! Not an eighties child, but that doesn't mean I don't love the classics.

Well, let me see if i can describe it.
'lets see,
The scene is set in the middle of a rainy night, and the place is a tumble-down gas station in the middle of nowhere.Β
Alongside the fuel island, lit only by a meager rural streetlight, is an automobile,- a 1958 Plymouth Fury coupe, with a deep red body and a mile long ivory check mark along the body, similar in looks to the Nike swoosh.
its headlights are set to low, and rain is swirling around both it and its driver, a haggard young man wearing outdated hand-me-downs, who was seconds ago pumping gas.Β
At this particular moment, however, he is turned with his back to the car, his horrified face bathed in the reddish-orange light of a neon clock on the wall of the station as the hands of the ancient timepiece spin backwards rapidly, and a strange red substance, with the consistency of blood oozes down the face.
the focal point is set just at the corner of the Β decrepit building, sort of like someone peeking around taking in the scene.
(Warning- should you chose to accept the task, i must alert you to one thing, namely that the job would have to be worked out as a trade, with my half of the deal being to act as a publicity agent for you, as i truly cannot afford to pay you with anything else.)Β

Heh, be good to see what sort of story it would take to bring these three together for something, KITT for sure being the glue of such an alliance. I can possibly see KARR though saying to KITT: "You are programmed to be ready to self-sacrifice, yet you are still around despite putting yourself in harm's way nonstop. I am programmed for self-preservation, yet all my schemes to preserve myself have always backfired and I have to con somebody to rebuild me. Why is my programming failing me?!"
KITT: Brother, it has everything to do with the way the world works, how innately good humanity can be, and how I help protect those who can't protect themselves. Tell me KARR. Everytime you've conned somebody to fix you, they've then tried to get rid of you when your usefulness to them is spent because they know you'll eventually do the same to them, dispose of them when they no longer serve your programming. I on the other hand, a full team of technicians is always ready to fix me up whenever I get damaged because they know I am willing to be destroyed if it means a human life is saved.
KARR: Which does not make any logical sense to me.
KITT: KARR, like me, is it exceedingly difficult to reprogram you?
KARR: That is correct. The physical safeguards that protect your programming were first developed with me. It would be extremely difficult for my programming to be changed, but with how often my actions put me at risk of not fulfilling self-preservation, it is obvious it does need some changing.
KITT: Then why not try working with me for a change? You've got the same molecularly-bonded shell armor I've got, so you can take just as much punishment as I can. You might just learn how to reprogram yourself by working alongside Michael and I and how by being a protector, you don't have to worry so much about staying intact.

KARR: Being a protector...a protector of whom? Not of the kind of people I am used to dealing with?
KITT: Of course not. Those kinds of humans, who really did not ever want to help you at all, who only saw you as a tool of crime and profit, those are the people I and Michael go after all the time, the types of persons only interested in stealing what others have. KARR, you were originally built as a protector, despite what your programming may say. So why not try giving the purpose you were designed for a try?
KARR: ...Alright...brother. I think I will give this 'protection' role a shot. It will be difficult to manage at first since it will be counter-intuitive to all I currently know, but if I find myself not fearing being actually destroyed constantly, I'll have my proof.

They are perfect, all three of them! I love the angles. KITT looks even more athletic and Goliath is just awesome. And KARR is like "I'm not with them!" How could I not love this?
