CRIME FIGHTING CAR NOT Y2K COMPLIANT

CALIFORNIA- A shocking announcement was made regarding so-called "Year 2000 Compliance"- Y2K for short. The federal government has been working diligently for the past two years to make sure that none of its computers suffer any problems entering the new year. One critical government agency announced yesterday that it had a problem.

Devon Miles, head of the agency in question- The Foundation for Law And Government (FLAG for short), announced that its premier technology was not Y2K compliant. The Foundation is a critical player in the industry of high-tech crime fighting research. Mr. Miles, in a short prepared statement, said that it's well known Knight Industries Two Thousand was, dreadfully, not Year 2000 compliant.

Mr. Miles then deferred the rest of the announcement to his head research technician, a woman named Bonnie. She stated that the Knight Industries Two Thousand was conceived in the early 1980's, and it was not expected to have such a long life time.

The Knight Industries Two Thousand, or K.I.T.T, is a high tech crime-fighting platform which specializes in forensics, pursuit, surveillance, communications, and even command decision making. This valuable crime-fighting package was fitted into a 1983 Trans Am, which is why it was not suspected to last so long. "Detroit just wasn't producing quality vehicles at that time," stated Bonnie, "we are frankly surprised that K.I.T.T has lasted so long, and shows no signs of malfunctioning- except for this Y2K thing, of course."

Bonnie then outlined possible fixes being considered to make K.I.T.T Year 2000 compliant. "Right now there are two feasible solutions that we are considering. The first solution would be to change the name to "Knight Industries Three Thousand", which would be nice since we wouldn't have to get new vanity license plates. The other solution is to remove all of the technology and place it inside of a blue 1957 Chevy. In this scenario we would be placing the new K.I.T.T in service in San Antonio, Texas."

The only other FLAG staffer on hand was a technical assistant/truck driver named RC, whose only comment was "Alright!"
