KITT's Turbo Boost is an awesome car feature, right? So, every box-crashing, Styrofoam rock-smashing Turbo Boost sequence ever, packed into one video must be the most awesome thing ever, right?
It is.
Wikipedia defines Turbo Boost as:
Used in most episodes, a series of rear mounted undercarriage rocket motors allows KITT to accelerate to incredible speeds in excess of 200 mph (322 km/h). When activated in combination with the Trajectory Guidance System and a pair of rocket motors mounted just behind the front tires that lifted the front of the car, KITT could jump 40 feet (12,2 m) into the air and pass over obstacles in the road. The system also allowed KITT added power whenever he had to maneuver heavy objects such as pushing a heavy boulder off a cliff, or pulling a large vehicle out of danger. The boosters could fire forward or backward.
Robot Chicken arrived at Knight Rider's golden rule of Turbo Boost. As KITT tells Michael, "But Michael, Turbo-boost should only be used once per episode."

Har! I lasted for 5 min. and that’s NOT what my GF says!

Okay, so did anyone actually watch all 10 minutes of the vid? I suffered through about 8 minutes and couldn’t take any more.

The bad acting (over-exaggerated bounces and facial expressions) by Hof made that video. LOL

Thank you, it's been much too long without some Hoff to spice things up! Since it's right around the corner ...

I was at the L.A. Auto Show when Knight Rider had just started. Hesselhoff was there with the KITT car.
I remember people walking by ignoring the display and Hasselhoff looked bored to tears.
If it weren't for William Daniels voice as KITT, the series would have lasted 13 episodes, if that.

I can’t believe I ever wasted my time watching that stupid program. But then again, when I see photos of myself from the 70’s with shoulder length hair I say WTF was I on???
