No matter what we may have thought as children, along with growing up comes the sad realization that we'll probably never own a full on replica of the customized Pontiac Trans-Am David Hasselhoff cruised the television airwaves with all through the mid-80s as Michael Knight. But don't despair, because you don't need a near three-decade old sports car to get your geek on as a modern day Knight Rider.

Radioshack on Friday announced it has secured exclusive rights to the Mio Knight Rider GPS. The $270 device comes with a 4.3-inch antiglare touchscreen LCD complete with voice synthesized lights adorning the left and right-hand sides that move in sync with actor William Daniels' (KITT) guidance. And best of all, you can choose from over 150 male and female names, including Michael if you want to get in full character.

Anyone else spellbound by this? How about by this?

Feeling nostalgic for the 80’s Knight Rider version of The Hoff or his sidekick, KITT? Mio is releasing a Knight Rider GPS complete with all new voice prompts from William Daniels as KITT. It also includes hundreds of recorded names so it can address you by name when you’re tired of pretending to be “Michael” (if your name is on the list. It seems Devon, Bonnie, and Wilton are missing). Fortunately the graphics on Mio’s Knight Rider GPS, are way better than what the 80’s version of KITT had. It even has a KITT icon that represents where you are at on the map. All you need now is your 80’s Trans-Am and black leather jacket. The Knight Rider GPS is due out in August and expected to cost around $270.
