I'm surprised to see the Charger out-google the Challenger, but I suppose fanboys are googling both, and buyers are googling the Charger at a 2:1 ratio over the Challenger.
@GreenN_Gold: Well, we don't know if the Charger really out-googled the Challenger. All we know is that the Charger was a more popular search on Yahoo! Autos.
@Shadowman615: Yeah, you know, I read that, yet my mind automatically equates search to google. Let's just assume then. "Out-Yahoo!Auto'd" just doesn't have the same ring to it anyway.
I'm assuming these cars get hundred thousands to millions in terms of sale, uh, search numbers. So it would probably be very hard for me to search FORD TEMPO so many times it makes it onto this list.
In the internal words of fictitious and insane artist Sander Cohen; "I've never painted a moth before. Maybe, I should."
@Ford Tempo Fanatic: I'll help search Ford Tempo for you. In fact lets make it a Jalopnik wide event, if every one that reads Jalopnik searched Ford Tempo on Yahoo twice a day for a full year we could potentially hit the 10th spot.
Lying in bed at night, by the flickering light of the oil lamp, he would stare up at the Model T lithographs tacked up on his bedroom wall.
"Someday, I will have a machine as cool as that."
Reading, and re-reading the specs in his well worn copy of Horseless Carriage and Driver, he would marvel at the power that such a machine could muster.
"I know how strong one horse can be. I can't even fathom what 12 could do in concert!"
Years went by, and the definition of "fast" has been altered slightly. Those 12 horses don't seem as mighty as they once did.
And as Virgil passed the centennial mark, he thought back to those cars that he lusted after in his youth, and thought to himself how short his remaining time on Earth might be, and said "Fuck it. I'm buying a Camaro."
@lilwillie: Actually, the ennui in this story is reported in the NYT piece--he's outlived both his wife and all three of his kids. Which, when you think about it, would kind of suck.

Is there any way to watch this in the UK without a Sky or something? (ie, the internets) Love the shows, from what I've seen in other countries and snippets on these pages. #chevycamaro
@Mobius: I tried to find seeded torrents for some of the other factory tours, but no game. Looks like TPB and eztv are having issues right now.
C'mon discovery channel, embrace digital distribution. I'll even pay per show, just let me buy it on the interwebs. #chevycamaro

I kid. Actually, I'd hope to be just like him 58 years down the road if I live that long.

Not saying they all worked as advertised...

I aspire to be this guy though.

does it still count as a 10/90 if the 10% part is bald?

Seriously, I'm glad for the guy. Living keeps you young, and this guy seems to have a great attitude.
I hope the cops are cool about him driving his age.

Meaning either never married (smart) or widowed (lucky) so there is no wife to piss and moan all the time about what he does.
No wonder he is 101.
Rock on Virgil.
