<br />
Here's our chance. If we all come together, pool our resources and work for the common good, we can buy two of the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/mustang">Ford Mustangs</a> used in the filming of the thankfully-deceased <em>Knight Rider</em> remake. Why would we want to lay our hands on the distastefully-modified NBC creations? To kill them with fire. Think of it: a world in which the only bad <em>Knight Rider</em> was the original <em>Knight Rider</em>; a world where children are safe from thinking that KITT was anything other than the world's most awesome self-aware Trans Am. We can do this.<br />
<br />
The KR cars have cropped up with a handful of other, more famous TV and movie cars headed for a Mecum auction. Alongside the Knight Industries travesties, the well-moneyed out there can bid on the likes of the two unused Cobra body shells from the first <em>Iron Man</em> and a certain tiger-ferrying 1965 <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/mercedes-benz/">Mercedes-Benz</a> 220SE Convertible from <em>The Hangover</em>. A few other lust-worthy models are also set to stand before the gavel, including the <em>My Name is Earl</em> El Camino and a 2001 Buell police bike used in <em>Terminator: Rise of the Machines</em>.<br />
<br />
Of course, all of those pale in comparison to our chance to right history's wrong. We can't do anything for <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/knight+rider+liveblog/">Nunez's damaged sanity</a> at this point, but we can keep someone else from preserving these disasters for posterity. We need to hurry, though. The auction kicks off May 19 at the Indiana Fair Grounds.<br />
