Knight Rider last night
digg_url = 'http://carsplusmovies.com/2008/02/18/knight-rider-last-night/'; NBC aired its two-hour movie “event” last night and of course we were in front of the TV.

Way more exciting than driving for two hours in the woods in a beat up Bronco and wait for the prey to show up. You can see all this and hear the wonderful roar of the predator -a.k.a the Shelby Mustang GT 500- in the first... Read More
