OK, I'm guessing a friend of a friend of a friend knows Fatone and is taking you over there for a visit. You want to know all about KITT so you can talk about it and won't look like an idiot...

Am I close?

Enter the fat one... So you're building a KITT replica. We got it. Get to it. Show us pics of the before.

Most likely, however we have to factor in that original question about the battery, maybe this Fatone guy left that front light on by accident one night?

Yeah its funny, with that light going back and forth all the time you would have figured that someone in the series would have picked up on the fact that something was odd about that car....

too far... A friend of mine is neighbors with... lol. I know about KITT, I just needed to know the actual year trans am so I could get the correct battery size for it.





sorry for the crappy pics.


funny thing, the car didnt have a side post battery in it, someone else had a top post and that threw a wrench in the works so we had to run to wal mart and get some bolts to solve the situation.

Pretty cool guy, I'll probably meet him again sometime in the future, I'll have better pics of the car on Saturday when its on display at the car show. Replica.. pfft, this one is the real one.

Is that a Star Wars medical droid on the bench behind the car?

I think so.

Mr. Fatone showed me his star wars collection and his other T Bird since his blue one was out getting worked on. The prowler also needs a battery and he said he recently sold the viper.

I got to sit in it and press all the buttons, sadly Turbo Boost doesn't do anything lol. I hope for another opportunity to do something to KITT and such.

Other than that a very cool car and Joey Fatone is a really cool down to earth guy. The car is going to be displayed on saturday at the celebration exotics show with 8 other movie cars... the BTTF car, Batmobile, The Monkees car, The Munsters car, some others and a super secret special car that will be unveiled friday at the jetport reception I've got tickets to.


It pays to be a hardcore car guy and meet other people with the same mindset, lol but with a bigger wallet sometimes.
