It’s Thursday. Gasp! This mechanical bastard was recently spotted roaming Morris County, Kansas. Known unofficially as the “Firebird SUV,” it appears to be a genetic nightmare stitched together from a ’78–’79 Pontiac Firebird, a Lincoln Town Car, a Chevy Suburban, and a Dodge Magnum. No one knows who unleashed this unholy mashup on the world—and honestly, for their own safety, it’s probably best the creator remains anonymous.

Someone Built A Firebird SUV from Lincoln, Dodge, And Chevy Scraps, And It Kinda Slaps

One-off body-on frame creation fuses three different car shells over a truck chassis

Just when you think the automotive internet has finally run out of ways to surprise you, something like this Firebird mash-up rolls by. But while these images are testament to one man’s twisted vision, they also inadvertently point to a very realistic future path for GM’s now dormant pony car line.

Unlike many of the body swap projects we come across online, this one was merely spotted in the wild in Morris County, Kansas, so doesn’t come with insight from the builder about how it came about and what parts were used.

But the pictures from the brain-bending If Ya Squint It’s Mint Facebook page reveal that while that beaky ’77-78 Firebird nose is the real hook, most of the SUV is actually built from other brands’ cars.

The central body structure appears to be from a Lincoln Town Car, there’s a Dodge Magnum wagon tail, and the whole thing rides on the ladder-frame truck chassis that one commenter who claims to know the car says is from a Chevy Suburban.

It sounds like a recipe for an absolute hound, but somehow it kinda works. The thing must be enormous, almost 19-ft (5,800 mm) long, and from the look of that rear overhang we’re guessing the trunk is also vast.

If Burt Reynolds’ Bandit had been driving one of these he wouldn’t have needed to act as a blocker to help get the semi of beers across the state line – he could have just taken the stuff himself.

Joking aside, what was presumably created as a one-off bit of fun could prove strangely prophetic. Because while Pontiac’s demise in 2010 means there’s no chance of the Firebird making a comeback any time soon, there’s a strong chance its Chevy Camaro brother, which was axed in 2024, could return as a crossover in the next few years.

And if that happens you can guarantee some aftermarket builders will slap a Firebird face and a big pricetag on it.

It’s Wednesday. Malcolm in the Middle is officially coming back with a Hulu revival titled Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair. The limited series will run for just four episodes and reunite the original cast (except Dewy) as their wonderfully dysfunctional characters. This time around, an all-grown-up Malcolm gets sucked back into the family madness and, naturally, watches his carefully constructed adult life fall apart in the process. Think of it as a short-term reunion with the TV family that taught us screaming is communication, bad decisions are tradition, and chaos is just another day. Life’s unfair—but hey, at least Malcolm is back.

It’s Tuesday. As a kid, LEGOs were always one of my go-to toys. They’re the rare kind of toy with truly endless possibilities—where the only real limit is your imagination. And while I built some pretty cool creations back in the day, they don’t even come close to what’s featured here today.

Banana Gear Studios has put together one of the most impressive LEGO machines I’ve ever seen. His automated assembly line doesn’t just build a car—it builds three of them in a row. The system pulls parts from a pallet, snaps them together in the correct order, and applies just the right amount of pressure to lock everything in place. It’s equal parts engineering, creativity, and LEGO magic.
