KITT from Knight Rider gets a ticket in NYC

0:03 Caalaroga Shark Media. Hey there, Johnny Mack with five good news stories. This first one is fun. There's a museum in Illinois, the Volo Museum. It's well known for a collection of famous movie and TV cars. In their collection is a nineteen eighty two Pontiac Firebird trans Am, a replica of Kit, you know, the car from Night Rider. The car has a California novelty plate that reads nights Now. Here's the thing. The museum recently got a piece of mail from New York City a speeding ticket. Apparently Kit had been caught on a traffic camera doing thirty six miles per hour and a twenty five mile per hour zone on Ocean Parkway in New York City. New York City's Autosystem sent the ticket to the Volo Museum. The fine was fifty dollars. Here's the thing. The actual car hasn't been driven on a public road and over a decade.

0:54 It's in a museum. Jim is the museum's marketing director, and said, we're famous for our large movie and teav car collection, so at first we thought it was a joke. We then looked it up on the official New York City website and it was indeed legit. But he said of the plate that got flagged, it's a novelty plate. We sell these in our gift shop. Meanwhile, in New York City, someone else was driving around with the same novelty plate in the traffic camera system tracked it back to the museum. The New York City Dot has acknowledged the ticket was issued in error and it would be dismissed. A Canadian university has made history by turning hundreds of people into dinosaurs for a day. The University of Calgary grabbed six hundred and eighty two people dressed in dinosaur costumes to celebrate at sixtieth anniversary. That set a new Guinness World record for largest gathering of people dressed as dinosaurs.

1:40 I feel like we could beat that one if we tried. The previous record was four hundred and sixty eight people dressed as dinosaurs. That was set last year in Florida. University President Ed McCauley said, the old record is extinct. I see what you did there. These schools sports teams are known as the dinos. So six p't eighty two? Should we go for that one? Maybe? Officials in British Columbia are not too happy with a prank. A hollowed out Volkswagen Beetle was suspended from her rock face. The bright red car, painted with a Canadian flag and a large E on top, appeared last March, hanging in a spot that wasn't designed for parking. The local Ministry of Environment and Parks says the stunt created a safety risk the car's position above power lines and Highway ninety nine, raising concerns that if it were to fall, it could create problems. Group of engineering students from the University of BC has taken credit for the stunt. Officials say the car will be removed safely. In Oakland, one person smash car window is someone else's jewelry line. Local artisan Sidney Jones has figured out a way to turn the Bay Area's annoying break in problem into something beautiful. She collects shattered safety glass from car windows and melts it down to create jade green Floro style earrings sold through her shop Odd Commodities. The material works in her favor. Car window safety glasses designed to shatter into small still on chunks, and when he did, it transforms into textured, almost gemstone like pieces. That's become the backbone of her street revival collection.

3:08 Where does she get the glass? She shows up herself with a broom and dustpan. When her neighbors report a break in, people now actively contact her to come collect the glass. Officers from the Laguna Beach Police Department responded to report so someone camping out and drinking next to a home. The police investigated the possible trespasser. It turned out it was a mannekin. The suspect was decked out in full disguise, hoodie, sunglasses, fake beard to blanket. It was another prank. It's a prank episode of five Good News Stories. Officers approached then realized they were dealing with a plastic overachiever. The police reminds pranks are fine, but anything that triggers emergency calls crosses the line pretty quickly. That don't prank the PDE and those are your five Good News stories for today. Have a great day.
