How to make car talk to me like Kit?

I want my car to talk to me and wittily degrade me every once in a while, like Kit from Knight Rider. I don't need super-pursuit mode or anything- I just want my car to be able to carry on a conversation. Anyone know how to make this happen?

I don't see why if they could create AI in a Trans-Am in the early 90's, we can't get it in our 8's. That's just silly.

I don't know what is wrong with your RX8, but mine already does it. Especially when I go to the gas station.

Just kidnap Mr. Feeney and hide him in the trunk with a microphone. Easy as Pi.

Hahaha! That seems like the easiest way. Now if only I can get that red "voice screen" to work...

Certain types of mushrooms will make this happen.

Or you could put a See-n-Say under your dash.

Thank God for wikipedia!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knight_Rider

KITT, (short for Knight Industries Two Thousand). KITT was actually considered two separate machines, the Knight 2000 vehicle, and the Knight 2000 microprocessor. According to series creator Glen A. Larson, as quoted from "Knight Rider Legacy", "The car is Knight 2000. KITT is the onboard computer. The car is one, and KITT is the nickname for the computer."

See, all you need is the Knight 2000 microprocessor upgrade and walla, you have yourself a witty 8.

The sad thing is...I developed a program that would be like KITT...it could even control step motors (small motors in a printer) with the serial port...which you could connect to the windows so when you said 'Windows Up' it would put the windows up...'Windows Down' would make them go down...yes i'm a geek...

I was devestated when I realized mr. Feeney was KITT. It made KITT seem so much more lame after that.

I thought it was great. I walked around for days going "Michael, Corey and Topanga are in trouble!"
