There are some funny rides in there.

The Chevette shouldn't be in there! It was actaully (as the article
implies) a really reliable cheap to run vehicle. It was kinda fugly
though.....

Is the Vega in there?? Couldn't find it. It should be!

To this day, I can't believe Chev made, or sourced, that failure of an
engine with its' piston/rings scraping away on aluminum cylinder
walls.

How could they do that? Surely they must have known.
