Yup.
In the 70's it was VWs and Ford Pintos everywhere.

Diehard cult status vehicle that's finally completely aging out. Went from seeing a couple a day just a couple of years ago to barely seeing one at all anymore.

The early 2000's Chevy Impala. There must have been hundreds of millions of these at one time and now they have gone. I think every sales rep in the country was given one to drive in the early mid 2000's. You can still see them in the hood every now and then with 28" rims on it.

Chevy Beretta. These things were everywhere in the 90s.

My first car: 1960 Chevy Biscayne...Straight 6 w Oil Airfilter...took about 20 minutes to get up to 60mph. Thing was a tank.


2nd Car: Mid 70's Chevy Vega - POS


3rd Car: Triumph TR8...TR7 with a V8 in it.


You don't see any of these on the road anymore.

How about the C5-C7 corvettes. I feel like every vette you see now is the new C8. Rarely see the older generations.
