Default Favourite 90's vehicles

I figure with most of the board being young in the late 90's/early 2000's and mostly having 90's vehicles as their first, this would be fun. As stupid as it sounds I was actually jealous of a classmate that got a Ford Probe for their first car. But man did I love the Toyota Supras from the mid 90's.

My goal was to get a Chevy Cavalier and supe it up. As crazy as it sounds now it seemed awesome as a teenager.

When I was in grade 10 I wanted a Ford Escort GT. I'm no longer sure why. By the end of that year I wanted a Mustang 5.0 after my neighbor's friend picked us up in his and took us for a cruise. That stereo he had in that was glorious too.

The car I fell in love with though was the Viper. I've liked every single year it was built but from 93 through 97 or so is my favorite of all time. The Viper is the only dream car I have never driven... With all its power that's probably a very safe thing for me.

Brutal balancing that gave it the worst handling ever! friken deathtrap.

Truth is there wasn't too many nice cars in the 90's, I liked the Acura NSX but it really wasn't all that quick for the price

So easy to work on and upgrade, I wish I still had it. Got rid of it because getting parts was so hard to find since only 700 were imported to North America.

My first car was the 4-door version of this one, but I was wanted the 2-door sportier version. They stopped making them in 1990, but mine was actually a 1985.

obs chevy trucks - still absolutely LOVE them!

back in high school and early university i used to carry a picture of a black standard cab shortbox step side around with my class schedule. i'd get asked all the time about it and i always had the same answer - one day i will own a truck like this!

in 1997 i bought my '89 chevy and still have it. i can't wait until april when i'll put it back on the road until october!

this was about a week after i bought the truck in 1997...

and apparently i need to do another photo shoot of my truck becuz this pic is from about 6 years ago and i've updated a bunch of stuff on it since this pic was taken

I had a 91 Prelude for about 15 years. Sold it to take a trip around the world with the woman who became my wife. Fun car!

I was a big fan of the 90s lowrider, mini trucks with the S10 being my favorite. I also thought the second gen Eagle Talon was awesome.

I remember that little red demon. Not quiet as much personality as my rusted out Corsica, but it was alright. I don't even think you had an "everything is A-OK" light on your dash that almost never turned off.

I miss our family's '95 Ford Aerostar. That thing was a tank and was hilarious.

And of course, my fave as a kid then, the 1990 Nissan Skyline GT-R

One summer in the early 90s, my aunt/uncle and us 4 cousins managed to travel through Italy in this Skoda (although just the sedan version...which was even less rapid). Good times, but a tight fit with 6, and I remember several times having to stop due to overheating.
