Hi @El BUZZ, do you really have disabling tinnitus? If so, how on earth do you manage to box?
Hi Kam,
350 in there? My first car was a '82 Camaro with a carbed V6... it was horrible lol.
KITT's still got his original engine, atm — a 3.1 L V6. I planned to upgrade to a 350 someday. He has 100k miles right now. Had the car since 2002. Got it in high school (my first car). I first transformed it to a white KITT back then and later restored it to be show-accurate. I also got paint protection film on it. It self heals when rocks hit or it gets scratched — you'll see the "damage" disappear before your very eyes. So it's kinda like the TV show car in that respect, too. Your Camaro sounds cool. My mom had one of those when we were young.
What is your favorite violin song? Mine is "Nearer, My God, to Thee." It's the famous song that was played at the end of Titanic when the ship was making its final decent. It was played in real life during the sinking, too. I've always liked that one for its haunting qualities; its beauty / melancholy wrapped into one, capturing the essence of life itself — good and bad. I don't know many violin songs, though, tbh. It's just that this one always comes to mind when I think of violins.
You did a great job, it looks sharp! My Camaro was a complete pile. I was in high school and just got my driver's license with a few hundred dollars to my name. I came across a primer-gray 82 Camaro sitting in a farmers field. Offered him a couple hundred bucks and I took it home. Had to stop by Kmart and grab a ton of car care products to basically put lipstick on a pig, but she was all mine.
Thanks, man! Ya, most people's first car story is that of a car that isn't in tip-top shape or needs a lot of TLC. But I was thankful to find a car that was already in great shape with KITT. He had 74k miles when I got him and was well taken care of. And the exterior was in great shape, too. Interior didn't have one single tear or abrasion — and still doesn't. I was blessed to find a great car. Your Camaro still sounds cool, even though you say it wasn't perfect! I bet it was a fun ride and provided a lot of cherished memories.
That is a beautiful piece.
It is good to see your pictures of the car and the multi screen room etc. From the mood of your posts - and the graphics you post - I imagined you sitting all day in a quiet darkened room with the bible in your lap and your hands pressed to your temples and eyes closed.
You understand those pictures by @Jerad are from BEFORE the hell he started experiencing? Now he's probably doing exactly this:
LOL, it wasn't that loud and I was always wearing my musician's earplugs.
Ya, those were throwback posts where I was celebrating and mourning the past; things I haven't been able to do lately. But I hope to reclaim them in the future.
Thanks for the compliments. Actually, the reason I'm not working at NBC now is unrelated to tinnitus or hyperacusis. They relocated the hub to South Carolina and I opted not to go. I'm in Ohio. Wish I had gone, though. Perhaps I would've avoided this mess. They were trying to recruit for the Indianapolis hub here recently and I can't go because of my health. I'm sad because I would've gone — it's only a few hours away. I hope to someday. 
On a serious note, though, he is like the real KITT in some respects. He has paint protection film. When a rock hits the car or something scratches it, you'll see it heal before your very eyes; everything disappears. It's an amazing feat of technology and good for KITT because it's kinda like the TV show with the molecular-bonded shell. Here was them wrapping him with the film. He also has a ceramic coating overtop that:
Well if it's "looks" is the criterion you're going on -- and there could be others like convenience, price, trouble etc. -- I'd say that you look best without the glasses => that implies go for contact lenses? Of course that's another kettle of fish.
