Nicholas' grin was nasty. "There are some things money can't buy. One is a good threat.

I'm fairly certain that a good threat can be purchased. Sorry to burst your bubble, Nicholas.

Nick glanced at his laptop - a PowerBook - sitting on the table beside him.

Product placement--in fanfic?

“A P.I.?” Michael sank deeper into his chair. “What next?”

“Michael, may I remind you that you drive around in a talking car?”

Michael had no come back for that one.

//Are you okay?// Kitt asked in a way that was wordless but somehow expressed what he needed to know.

"Karr?" Ed asked.
"I am functional," Karr answered.
A grin split the computer engineer's face. "Those are my three most favorite words!" he cheered.

That was actually kind of cute. hee!

Seeing Michael begin to fade into unconsciousness, [KITT] decided that this was the time, "I love you Michael."

Yeah, I always time all of my really important declarations of love with the other party passing out.

This is how one fic begins:

Brenda Summerfield slowly closed the file on her lap and looked up Norm And Linda Normal Valued Gateway Client 2 1 2001-05-04T05:14:00Z 2001-05-20T00:07:00Z 2001-05-20T00:07:00Z 38 11596 66102 Home 550 132 81177 9.2720 6 pt 2 2

“Michael, I took the liberty of scanning the contents of your grocery bag.” K.I.T.T. announced as Michael dropped into the customized black Trans Am, “and I am appalled. You have not purchased one item that is nutritionally sound.”

Boy, that would get real old real quick. I'd hate to think of how his CPU would explode if he saw the contents of my grocery bags.

The pulsing agony in [Michael's] head eased quickly, leaving behind a blazing path like an eternal headache.

Curtains barred any passer-bye's view into the rather expensive little house...The whole place didn't look mightily uppity-scale.

In one fic Michael goes back to his parents and has to explain the "bond" he shares with KITT. Can we say "awkward"?

''I beg your pardon?'' Dante asked incredulously of his driver.
'' You heard me, Dante. Kitt is 'The Shadow', '' Kyle said.
''Do you mean to tell me that the most famous AI ever created was sitting right under our bumpers?'' Dante was absolutely astounded. Not only had Kitt's CPU been stolen, but it had been stolen from SkyOne, their own home! Now Kyle was telling him he had just had a chat with the famous car's equally famous driver, by Michael Knight's supposed grave!

Believe me, I'm just as confused.

The shot was well-aimed and hit Nicholas high in the back, in the shoulder. Unlike in the movies, a bullet entering someone's body does not slam him forward or make him stagger. There is simply not enough momentum there.

You sat back and let her torture a sentient, aware, feeling and living being? Devon, you are worse than a medieval torturer!

Michael looked at the label. He wasn’t much of a drinker but he knew it wasn’t from the local Seven Eleven...Michael found himself liking Dan Chapman. He was just under six feet, dark hair and dark brown eyes. He could see muscles flexing beneath the tight white Polo shirt. The man obviously worked out.
