[@schwartzseymour357]

Respray is complimentary.

[@actioncom2748]

You have to admit that KITT shines in this scene. He moniters police communication to tell Michael that a guy he knows has been killed. Then GPS's a route to intercept a criminal. Even displaying a map. And he's able to keep eyes on a criminal until the paint change.

[@clickrick]

Crazy to think back then GPS was a one of a kind technology. And then around 2 decades later everyone has them.

[@eyecomeinpeace2707]

We had a lot of technology that was similar to today's. Only thing is that the rich could afford those things. Today I can buy a calculator at the dollar store for about $1.50, back then a pocket calculator cost about $100.00.

[@fluffysheap]

You could get calculators for cheap in the 80s, it wasn't the stone age. People had them in their watches, that was a thing then. GPS existed, but was pretty much only used by the military until 1990-ish. This is one of the few technologies in the show that would have actually been possible with the technology of the era, although a comprehensive street database didn't really exist, but could have.

I was reading the comments about the custom car charging grills when coming out of the car wash and I had to watch this again and yeah the grill is different out of the car wash.

[@dspencer8827]

Probably 2 diffrent cars used

[@The_Curious_Cat]

The guy in the car on the train tracks... Ah... Drive forward? It's a really useful function that cars have. Plus, there's no fence on the other side of the train track, so there's literally nothing stopping the man from just going forward. But I guess he didn't got the plot armor option when he bought the car.

At 20 mins and 20 seconds into this episode, the molecular-bonded shell on KITT appears to be compromised, as the t-tops leak about a quart of rainwater into Michael's lap. I still want to ask the 2nd unit guys about the leaky t-tops, failing pop-up lights, falling headliners, etc. they must have had to deal with on those 82-84 birds used in the show.

[@RiderBlitz1.0]

Yup, i guess so

[@robertclark6349]

The cars used in the show were damaged in a train derailment while in transit to their destination. The studio bought them for scrap price on the condition they be destroyed when the series ended.

Yo Michel your the best

[@jjhung2]

80's plotlines just don't make sense to me. The guy pulled up right up to the railroad crossing gate, ignoring the stop sign at the intersection and blocking the street. And there isn't a gate blocking him on the other end which means once the car behind him pushes the car forcing him to break the gate, he could just drive forward and be on his way.

[@MrTachyon3000]

Maybe the guy panicked thinking the train was closer and could not make it across. It's more believable than a guy being bitten by a spider and getting super powers since most of us would end up at the hospital.

[@drmayeda1930]

Driving across railroad tracks isn't like driving on asphalt or cement. The car may not have been able to go over the track, especially going from stopped. If he was moving it would have been easier.

[@vicrattlehead6386]

So you think today's movies such as F& F doesnt break logic and physics?

[@jjhung2]

@@vicrattlehead6386 You know, there's a more plausible reason why 80's TV shows get continuity so wrong so often. It's because they were broadcast on TV with 480 interlaced lines. In most viewings, you would not be able to see a stop sign. You won't be able to see that the tracks are paved over with cement which means the car can easily drive over to the other side. I still have an old fashioned 20" TV. It's amazing how blurry everything is on it when I watch my old VHS tapes. And most of my VHS tapes are even LP tapes, which means they're barely 200 interlaced lines.

[@chatanugadotorg]

@@jjhung2 Back then we didn't have VCR, DVR, DVD, or KZbin to watch shows over and over to spot mistakes/bloopers. Back then, if we missed something in a show or movie, we had to wait a few months for the repeat.

Sorry for being a car nerd but did anyone else notice the bad guys car changed from a Plymouth Fury to a Dodge Coronet after the car wash? LOL
