Introducing the EMO Era: Why 90s–2000s Cars Are Suddenly Explowing in Value
Car opinions are easy when you’re scrolling. They get complicated when the numbers (and the market) start yelling back.
In this episode of Shifted Opinions, we officially name the moment we’re living in: the EMO Era — that late-90s to early-2010s stretch where the cars we all argued about in forums are now the cars people are paying real money for.
We dig into the sudden value swings (and the psychology behind them):
993s and 964s climbing fast, E46 and E92 M3s creeping into “wait… what?” territory, and the bigger question — are buyers chasing nostalgia, scarcity, or just whatever the comment section tells them to want?
Also in this episode:
• Me Time: rally miles, winter driving prep, and auction comment-section therapy
• Automotive news (including what’s next for Top Gear / Grand Tour-adjacent chaos)
• Rare Porsche auction eye-candy: 968 Turbo RS / Turbo S and why they matter
• The broader collector wave hitting everything from Porsches to M cars
• The debate: is this hype… or a real shift?
If you’ve looked up your “old dream car” lately and felt personally attacked by the price, you’re not alone.
