The GMT-400 1988-1998 Chevy trucks.
They are my favorite style truck GM has ever come out with and really set the looks for the 1999+ trucks. Plus IMO the build quality of today's truck just can't compare to 15+ years ago. Also the first truck to make 1 million miles on the original engine never opened up.

And honestly there's too many cars that i like that i wish were still made. like the 1980's chevys and fords, 50's style cars look badass and the craftsmanship is even better

Correct, that was the "M" part in the name..."mid engine" "R" for rear wheel drive and "2" for the number of seats.

Nice looking car ... just needs to be a hard top... but that's just personal preference . I've never been a fan of convertibles.

We owned a 69 GTO ... it was a great car.

I used to date a girl who's dad owned a shelby / charger. We used to take it out when he was at work & run the dog crap out of it. I remember her saying, "lets drive fast" with a smile I couldn't resist. We would fill it back up with gas & park it where he left it & he never knew. That little car was fun to drive...............

here is how I roll now.

Those were a true race car...but not much of a drivers car.

It was reported the the hell-hole, or "transmission tunnel" and firewall would get so hot that it would almost burn "AC" into your racing shoes.

It was good for it's day and still looks good to this day but wow it sucked to drive. (These are reflections of other drivers, as I have never driven one.)

It was made to race in Daytona:

The short-lived Plymouth Road Runner Superbird, a sister design to the Dodge Charger Daytona, was designed to beat the Ford Torino Talladega at NASCAR stock car racing and to lure Richard Petty back to Plymouth. Both cars famously featured a protruding, aerodynamic nosecone, a massive rear spoiler, and a horn whose sound mimicked the Road Runner cartoon character.[1]
