| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle is the dream of many vintage car enthusiasts. But one over-excited motorist ploughed his pristine vehicle into a brick wall in front of dozens of onlookers on Sunday - destroying the right headlight and bumper and stripping off a layer of paint. Vid of Hubris at link. |

| #7 That's a sway bar. Not a tie rod. Eliminating the sway bar from the original design was done by the bean counters. Plus front and rear tire pressures were spaced at different ratings. But owners, you know the ones that NEVER READ THE FREAKIN OWNERS MANUAL 'cause they know better just inflated the tires at the same psi all the way around. The second generation hardtop actually looked pretty good. And the ugliest American car ever built was an early 60s Valiant |

| #5 I loved my Corvair too even though I admit it was about the ugliest car ever made. Size and shape of a shoe box in the same shade of grey. The lack of a trans tunnel and a bench front seat, though, had many benefits. That's what should happen to anyone that wastes money restoring a '70s Chevelle. |

| #2 Chevelle - the model that signaled Chevy's plunge to the bottom...surpassed only by the Corvair |

| #1 It's England. They'll probably revoke his license and make him go to remedial driving classes even though he'll never get his license back. If there were any muzz nearby he'll probably go to jail. |
