Ford Windstar or Ford Explorer is right up there. Hell, the mire modern Explorers STILL looks like 90s cars.

I always thought the 3000gt was the quintessential 90s sports car. and yeah 9/11 was the punctuation mark at the end of the 90s.

I wanted to say the Geo Tracker was the Most ‘90s Car but it came out in ‘89. The Suzuki X-90, however, is ‘90s as gently caress. See also: Isuzu VehiCROSS ~or~ if cars and sneakers were the same thing

Greatest Generation Pod calls the larger Shuttlecraft the Previa.  I remember being amazed at the idea of a minivan with a god drat ice maker in it. I have a distressing amount of CD spindles and cd binders that date back to the late 90s. For some reason I cannot bare with throwing them out. For one, all my games from the pre digital age are in there, so i don't want to throw those out. There's a bunch there that aren't available of steam, gog or any digital store. Though I highly doubt that I could get something like Klingon Academy working on windows 10. Also just lot of early internet porn. Want to see all of the earliest videos from NetVideoGirls? Got those. Though I bet all of them are unreadable.

They might be readable, depending on what generation of CD-Rs they were. I remember the manufacturers grossly overestimated how long they would last, saying poo poo like a hundred years because that's what real CDs could last as long as, or something. Earlier ones seemed to die in a couple years, but later ones should at least last a decade or two. The biggest issue with that old moldy porn is having to download RealPlayer and discovering how small a 200x300 resolution video appears on modern screens.

It had a radio from a Dodge Shadow in it. Manual transmission. Bad bobble strut so it bucked all the time. No power steering. I was lucky it had power brakes. It weighed so little though that it was fast as hell. It also got over 50 mpg at 70 on the highway so that was cool.

It wasn't a good car, but it had pep. For whatever reason you had power windows up front, and manual in the rear, I was real good at rolling those rear fucks down while driving.

One of these days I just need to go through them, and find out which still are readable. They don't take up that much space but what's the point? Speaking of Old Porn, does anyone remember Our First Time? A pair of "18 year olds" were gonna lose it live on camera! Turns out it was a scam https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnAr8p34VaY

I know that feeling, albeit with a good car; I drive a 2001 Kia Rio that I love to death because it's a simple little car that is nippy as hell with power steering and pretty fuel-efficient.

I liked my ‘95 Neon quite a bit when I got it, it was indeed peppy and fun to drive, and the previous owner must have installed a short throw shifter. But a few months into it, everything seemed to go wrong, leaving me stranded several times on the highway until finally, at about 97,000 miles, the head gasket blew. Apart from a Mazda3 I owned from ‘09-‘12, it was all Honda Civics after that, four of them Si.

I think the single most Xtreme 90s car has to be one that never really existed - the Pontiac Stinger concept is like every early-90s fashion/lifestyle stereotype on four wheels, and the promo video is even more of the same: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MrIv1JDlhg As to cars that were actually out and about, the first-gen Ford Mondeo always figures in my memory of the mid-90s. They were everywhere and the bulbous but simple styling is really of the time:  Here in the UK Renault had a really good 90s and they were keeping up with a lot of the fashions. Seemingly every other kid at my school was dropped off and picked up in a Mk2 Espace:  and most of those that weren't were either ferried about in a Megane:  or a Megane Scenic:  The Renault Twingo was never officially sold in the UK because it couldn't be built with right-hand drive, but it had some mad 90s vibes and people would grey-import them:  There was a period in the late 90s when big families seemed to take a fancy to these Chrysler Voyagers too:  Speaking of which, I always associate these Chrysler Cirruses with '90s American cars', because we had one as our hire car on our family trip to DisneyWorld in 1998:  I remember it being really comfortable and it had amazingly good A/C but the fake leather seats were really squeaky and sweaty.

That rounded body styling is the car of the 90s. Which gave way to that big, thick styling of the early 2000s.

The Mazda 121 is the most 90s car. My sister had one of these and while it was extremely slow it was pretty decent otherwise.

I've seen a Wrangler done up in Jurassic Park livery in the wild and actually complimented the driver but man if I ever saw a Ford Exploder in that stuff I think I'd offer condolences.
