Museum’s "Knight Rider" Replica Car Got a Speeding Ticket, Even Though It's Never Left the Museum

It’s a mystery on the streets of New York City. What traffic law violator with unpaid fines is driving a black Pontiac Trans Am that looks like the talking computer from the 1980s TV series Knight Rider, and even has the same license plate? Officials at the Volo Museum near Chicago would like to know the answer to that question. That’s because the replica of the show’s Trans Am hasn’t moved from its exhibit in years. Still, it recently received a $50 traffic ticket in the Big Apple for allegedly going 36 mph in a 25 mph zone in Brooklyn. The ticket came complete with traffic camera photos showing the car with the California license plate KNIGHT, the same plate as the car on the show and the novelty one on the museum’s unregistered car. The license plate is also connected to five other unpaid traffic violations in New York City since 2024. How the city linked the plate to the museum was not immediately clear.

State of Nebraska Tells Omaha Bar It’s Not a Barbershop

The craft cocktails at Barbershop Blackstone have names like the Straight Razor and Hot Towel Margarita. Conversation pieces include a red barber chair from the 1950s and a striped barber pole near the entrance, which has no other signage and is tucked away down an alley. However, siblings Jaclyn Oltmans and Mike DiGiacomo, owners of the bar, have been told by the state that the establishment can’t carry the name “barbershop” because it’s not one. The Nebraska Board of Barber Examiners explained that because they are not licensed barbers, they could face civil and criminal consequences. As a result the owners temporarily renamed the business Censored Shop Blackstone while their lawsuit against the state plays out in federal court. The siblings opened the barbershop-themed bar in March 2025 in Omaha’s Blackstone District, in a building that for roughly 30 years housed DeComo’s Hair Fashions, the salon of their father, Don DiGiacomo, who died in 2022 at age 88. For years, the DiGiacomos operated an Italian-themed speakeasy in the space, then rebranded it last year to pay tribute to the man known as “Don the Barber.” The owners are being represented by the First Amendment Clinic at the University of Nebraska College of Law.

Jimmy Chilimigras graduated summa cum laude with his Juris Doctor (JD) from Loyala University College of Law in New Orleans last week, adding a third degree to his already impressive resume. The 18-year-old from Mississippi became the youngest person in the state to earn a law degree. Homeschooled, Jimmy graduated from high school when he was just 12, before earning a bachelor’s degree and a master’s in accounting at 15. Around the same time, he became a CPA, and is believed to be the youngest person in the world to obtain the license. To add to the list long list of achievements, Jimmy ranked in the top 2% of his class after he earned the top grade in 40% of all the courses he took. He entered college as one of the university’s Ignatian Law Scholars and graduated as a William L. Crowe, Sr. Scholar, a distinction given to the top 10% of the graduating class. He says completing five completely distinct course concentration areas while maintaining a summa cum laude GPA is the most intense thing he’s ever done and one he’s most proud of.
