EVIL TWINS: KNIGHT RIDER

80s TV Producer: "You know what a show with Hasslehoff and a talking car needs? DOPPLEGANGERS!!!!!"

KITT had his evil twin KARR - an evil prototype of KITT. KARR possessed identical capabilities except one—
KITT's programming to protect human life. KARR also liked to microwave Michael's girlfriends in the passenger seat (er, why was the car outfitted with a microwave interior?? Maybe its the future of car protection like the car security device in Robocop that electrocutes the thief?) I think KARR also got mad at a fast food drive-thru speaker and trashed the place. He's no KITT!!!!

Anyway, not to be outshined by a talking Firebird, in season 2, Michael Knight looked into the Abyss and stared into the eyes (and evil mustache & goatee!) of his evil twin - GARTH KNIGHT!!!! Garth drove his evil creation GOLIATH - the evil semi-truck with the same "molecular bonded shell" as KITT. Garth & Goliath nearly destroy KITT, forcing him to be completely rebuilt and upgraded. The man may be evil, but goddamn is he a sexy beast! How are we mortal men to compete with THAT?!!!
