It’s hard to find a low mileage Toyota Sequoia. They’re either new or ancient. Best I can figure is people that paid a small fortune for one don’t want to give them up.

Imagine driving a Fiero they looks like a Ferrari. Better hope nobody challenges you at the red light.

I saw on TV not too long ago that there's a company in Texas making these. They bought all of the unused parts. They also refurbish used vehicles. I think that they are called the Delorean Motor Company

The stealth and the 3000gt were so bad arse in high school.

Its wild to think of what used to be considered fast, especially compared to mass produced cars today.

1991 GMC Syclone. Made for one year in less than 3000 in number. One of the fastest 0-60 vehicles in the world in 1991. Held the fastest truck title for 30 years until the Ram TRX.

The Eagle Talon version was really cool in the mid 90s

There was a short lived Smokey and the Bandit TV show in the 90s and he drove a Stealth

Can confirm it seemed liked the one of the most badass vehicles at the time

Ford Escort- These things were everywhere when I was a kid. Being somewhat disposable, they have almost all vanished


My first car in 1995… a 1986 Smurf blue two door ford escort. Could floor it up a hill and would only go 40 mph.

My mom brought it brand new in 1985 and handed it down to me.

You’re right they were everywhere when I was a kid.

I drove it for a year then brought a 1978 Ford F-150/Ranger/Explorer. ( had all that listed on it)

The Eclipse!

The quintessential mid 90's female car.

I know two families with them.

They are both original year models.

Both people have handed it down. One of them has a grandkid driving it.

No telling how many miles.

When I asked about it the dad said they will never get rid of them. Has had to basically do zero work. They took it on vacation last year.

My elderly neighbor has a Delorian sitting in his shed. I don't recall ever having seen him drive it.
