Pontiac Trans Am Turned into a Swing

The Pontiac Trans-Am Firebird is an American classic. How do you make it even more classic? Turn it into a swing and park it in your yard. It beats a swinging tire right? Heck yeah!

YouTube user John D. Lorean took “Blackie,” his old Pontiac Trans Am, and converted it into an actual working swing. His name would imply that he should have used a DeLorean, but hey, those things are expensive and he already had the Trans Am.

It makes an amazing swing since it has comfortable seats, lights and a even built-in stereo. In the video, he presented the swing to Lisa Dalisa as a Christmas present. What a nice guy. That’s one way to get a girl into the back seat.

Guy Builds Knight Rider K.I.T.T. Replica: K.A.R.R. Better Watch out

I can hear the theme music playing in my head now. Just look at this awesome replica of K.I.T.T. from Knight Rider. To say that this version is impressive would be a massive understatement.

Chris Palmer built his replica out of a 1991 Pontiac Trans Am, while the original KITT was a 1982, in case you weren’t aware. Sadly, Chris’s K.I.T.T. doesn’t actually talk yet, but that can be forgiven because all of the other details are simply amazing. It took him about three years to complete the project.

I don’t know about you, but I am really jealous. This brings back all kinds of memories of my childhood back in the 80s. And a time when David Hasselhoff hadn’t lost his mind yet.
