This was one of those days when you wished you'd brought along your camera.
After some sleepless night, I was reluctant to go grocery shopping today. Realising there was no decent food in the house (tinned beans, carrots and cereal aren't things I'd like to combine into a meal!), I went out. Thank god I did.
Drove to the supermarked and parked in my usual spot. I looked up and saw something. At the cellular level, synapses were firing off at incredible rates and my heart skipped a few beats as I saw this:

Looks like a Pontiac Trans-Am, the kind that was in Smokey and the Bandit right? Wrong. Even on a subconscious level I'd recognised blacked out tail light. No Trans-Ams were ever produced with this blacked-out taillight. In fact, there was only ever one vehicle that had such a rear end:

Took a few pics:

I wished I'd taken more pics put the crap visibility on the iphone screen and the camera meant the shots weren't brilliant. Plus I was blocking traffic as I took pictures and where I live, they're not bothered about running you over. Anyway, I went inside, realised I hadn't taken any interior shots and decided to head back. Alas, the car was gone.
I've seen two proper Pontiac Trans-Ams in the UK but never seen one converted to KITT in real life. This one does need some corrective work to bring the paintwork up though.
