These Are Worth The Price Of Admission
Five iconic 1990s cars that you can probably afford to buy now
Porsche 911 (993) Carrera
Porsche’s 993 generation 911 Carrera tops our list. It’s practically the ultimate ‘90s dream car of all. There is one in Beverly Hills that sells for only $50,000. This Carrera was a ’95 model that travelled for at least 76,000 miles.
This coupe is packed with 270 hp 3.6L engine and is mated with a 6-speed manual transmission. The 993 convertibles could come cheaper while a GT2 version Carrera could be priced at $1M.
Toyota Supra
Toyota Supra is also one of the epic nineties cars that we love to this day. A brand new Supra Turbo costs more than $40,000 in 1990. Then, in 1993 until 2002, the Supra came out with its 4th generation model, which comes with a 320 hp twin turbo 2JZ engine. The prices ranged from $100,000-$120,000 back then.
Acura NSX
Honda also makes it to the list with the Acura NSX. How can we forget one of the best ‘90s cars? The NSX was the only car that intimidated Ferrari when it first came out.
As for the price, the NSX costs more than $60,000 in the nineties. But now, you can have one for as low as $30,000. Still a substantial resale value after all these years.

Did You Know - AE86 Edition
Here's Why 86 Is Toyota's Favorite Number
The number 86 reminds enthusiasts of the time when Toyota Corollas were rear-wheel drive, and fun to drive.
The Corolla name doesn't just refer to some of the most mundane commuter cars on the planet—it was also applied to Toyota's most iconic performance models built between 1983 and 1987. They were called AE86s, a name that breaks down in Toyota-speak as follows: 4A engines (A), a Corolla badge (E), fifth-generation bodies (8) and represented the sixth variant of this family (6).

Talk About An Oddly Functional Thing
The Ford Mustang GT350 Has Holes In The Exhaust For The Most Bizarre Reason
The holes in the GT350's exhaust tips are because of the tires, as Ford’s Chief Performance engineer Jamal Hameedi explained to Jay Leno on an episode of his garage show. “The tires are so sticky that they take little pebbles, and they spit them up in the back of the fascia.”
This happens when, after a session out on the track, the Mustang’s
hot tires become sticky like a piece of flypaper and begin to pick up
all the little pebbles and gravel on the road. The tires naturally fling
them towards the rear fascia and those exhausts tips that are not
totally connected to the actual exhaust. Without those drain holes, the
rocks and pebbles would rattle around in there.
