Sad Day

Hey KR fans, I have some bad new to share with you today.
As of 10:00 AM EST, I lost my car. My fault that this happen and it is something to learn from. My car was auction off today for non payment to my storage place. Like I said it my fault, You see this happen when you don't have a job and no one want to hirer you. So you fall behind on some bills and you try to catch up and in the long run you just go dry, no funds, no help and the man wants to be paid.

But enough of my drowning in sorrows, cause life goes on, and after all it's something that can be replace. Now that that is over with, on to something I always wanted to do, my car was a 1983 Pontiac Trans Am, and since I do love the car so much it's only fair that I replace him with another one. My new project will be called "Extreme Knight " it will have a 1994 - 1999 Pontiac Trans Am with the WS6 package. I will also incorporate a working ram air hood for more power, also there will be some Knight Rider items added to this car. But I think the main thing I' am adding to this car is the way it will look, I always like the Pontiac Concept Car called the Banshee 1988. This car was so high tech for it time and in fact most of the newer Trans Ams' have design features which was taken from this car. So my mission will be to:

1. Secure as much information as I can for the Banshee from the internet.
2. For the Knight Rider parts, will research and secure information from 3rd parties
Conversion companies.
3. Other 3rd Parties auto part companies to help in building this car.

Now to make this car high tech, I want to add a carputer, now for those of you who don't know what a carputer is, a carputer is a small computer made for the automobile, from my research you can either buy it complete or as most auto hobbyist do they build their carputer from scratch. What this mean is that they buy the computer chassis and add things like the motherboard, processor, memory, cd/dvd drives and software, with some tweaking they get the car running the way they like. Now you asked what can a carputer control, well some features are power management, control of audio and video, media, the internet and etc. My carputer will control different functions of the Knight Rider parts, also there will be alots of mobile features.

Since I have complete phase one which is to research everything about the concept car called the Banshee. Now I will begin organizing the information obtain from the internet, I also have a Revell Model of the "Pontiac Banshee". There are lots of pictures that I will use in deciding how the car will look, like I say before will be using a 1994 - 1999 Trans Am, I will have the original nose removed and I will purchase from a well known Knight Rider Conversion Company called Louisell Enterprise. The Banshee package once it is available will cost around $7500.00, and I believe it will consist of the Banshee's style nose and the spoiler, not sure what else is in the package. Will get in touch with them for more information. Well this is all for now till the next time. Keep those scanners moving.
