You’d think that one way to make sure you never get a traffic ticket in the mail<\/a> is to stick your car in a museum and just not let it taste the sweet freedom of the open road.<\/p>\n

Well, you’re wrong.<\/p>\n

It turns out that it doesn’t even work if the car in question is a replica of KITT, the car from the David Hasselhoff<\/a> talking car classic, “Knight Rider.”<\/p>\n

The Volo Museum is a car museum outside of Chicago<\/a>, and one of the cars on display is a replica of KITT, the Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am voiced by the great William Daniels (who went on to play Mr. Feeney from “Boy Meets World”).<\/p>\n

It’s a cool piece for any car collection, but you can understand why the museum was confused when it got a ticket in the mail claiming that KITT had gotten caught going 36 mph in a 25 mph zone in Brooklyn.<\/p>\n

The car had never been out of the museum, let alone left the state, but sure enough, according to the Associated Press<\/a>, the ticket came with a photo showing a black Trans-Am with a California plate that read “KNIGHT” getting caught on a traffic cam.<\/p>\n

That, of course, is the same plate seen on the show, and the same one on the Volo Museum’s replica.<\/p>\n

So, how did a real ticket wind up<\/a> getting sent to a museum that owns a replica of the car from “Knight Rider?”<\/p>\n

Well, no one seems to know. New York City<\/a> hasn’t explained, and the museum is as confused as the rest of us.<\/p>\n

“The fact that we\u2019re legally tied to a movie prop is interesting,” Volo Museum marketing director Jim Wojdyla\u00a0said. “We\u2019re known for having our Hollywood cars from TV and movies, but I have no idea how we got registered from a ticket in New York to the plates in California to the Volo Museum in Illinois. We\u2019re still trying to figure it out.”<\/p>\n

Oddly enough, the same Trans-Am has been tied to five more unpaid tickets in New York City.<\/p>\n

The museum has requested a hearing to fight the ticket, and I get the sense they will probably win.<\/p>\n
