Did It Again

It’s Monday. Wow. History was made Saturday night as the Chicago Bears defeated the Green Bay Packers in a playoff game for the first time since Franklin D. Roosevelt was in the White House. Chicago erased a late 18-point deficit to stun its longtime rival in a wild-card showdown at Soldier Field, securing its first postseason victory in the NFL’s oldest rivalry since December 1941—just days after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

For much of the night, it appeared the drought would continue. The Bears trailed 21–3 at halftime and still faced a daunting 27–16 deficit with less than seven minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. That’s when quarterback Caleb Williams suddenly came to life. He led back-to-back touchdown drives, aided by a missed Green Bay field goal in between, to give Chicago a late lead.

The Packers had one final chance to respond but the Chicago’s defense held firm, forcing an incompletion on the Packer’s final pass to seal a 31–27 victory. Once again the Bears come from behind to steal the win. The result is all that really matters—but it’d be nice if the Bears didn’t spike everyone’s blood pressure in the final minutes every damn week!

Can they keep the drive alive? We shall see next weekend.

3rd Time

It’s Friday! Here in Illinois, winter has once again settled into its usual routine. Several days go by with temperatures above freezing, and the next we’re shoved right back below it, as if Mother Nature herself is reminding us who is in control. Up, down, repeat. Sprinkle in the horrid white stuff for good measure, crank up a stiff wind, and congratulations—you’ve got the full Illinois winter experience.

As for the Bears, Saturday night’s Wild Card matchup against the Packers feels like a crossroads. If they lose, that’s the end of the line. It’s been a great season, no doubt, but this still doesn’t feel like a Super Bowl caliber team. And even if they do manage to knock off Green Bay, I’m not convinced the ride goes much further. I hope I’m wrong, but…

Alright, time to wrap this up. I’ve got another new amateur photo to share with all of you. This will be her third appearance on the site, and I think I can safely speak for everyone when I say—keep ’em coming! Plus, there are double babes and double jokes on deck, so settle in and enjoy.

OH GOD NO!

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.
