Howdy! This is my first IF submission, will post more as time goes on! There's some really neat topics and it's good food for thought. Anyway, here's my 80's submission. I grew up watching watching the adventures of Michael Knight and KITT, and anytime I think 80's they're one of the first things to pop into my head. I still remember being super bummed when Goliath crushed KITT in that head on collision/fight.
