Don’t scratch the paint! It’s a good thing that the Knight Industries Two Thousand did not actually cost $11,400,000 to make. The car went through many stunts throughout the series. High-speed car chases and acrobatic maneuvering take their toll. With all of those crazy stunts to electrify the audience, a lot of cars became damaged, causing the show to go through an average of about six cars per season. Get out your calculators.

Knight Rider ran for four seasons, that is roughly $273,600,000 in fictional damages to the talking car– thank you, taxpayers. You just can’t put a price tag on protecting society.
