96’, the year I was born! I love watching these time capsule videos on CZcams. Just imagining a world before me and how everyone was getting on! Thanks for the upload!
I really love how the streets in 1996 have a mashup of a bunch of 70's/80's cars with a bunch of cars that were brand new at the time. That’s incredible. And also, I can tell that those Caprice and LTD Crown Victoria taxi cabs (and some aerobody Crown Vics and some round Caprices) were already starting to get pretty old at the time by the rust and the dents they have on them. I think it was because they were using them for a very long time and they were starting to fade away.
this is amazing. just raw and candid footage of a time when TV was still TV, and the internet was just beginning to get big. having to switch your compact cassette or compact disk on your device (which required batteries) to listen to your desired music. staring at your or someone else towel on a towel rail (or at a stall door in a public restroom) when you took a shit. looking in the yellow pages for contacts to companies, and kids still playing with toys. I just wonder what was going through these people heads on the day this was recorded.
Many American cars back then, you don't see a lot of foreign cars on the road. Even the yellow cabs were all Chevrolets and Ford's vehicles, Not so today.
Th crown vics in this vid and also early 2000s models also had this brudhguards on the front and rear. but around 2002 they started removing them. They looked awesme and gave the taxis a more RObust look
@@Nexus104 well, they aren’t really early 2000's models because those ones were the 3rd generation models, but yeah, they did use a lot of 2nd generation models back in the early 2000's as well.
I am only 12 Years old , born in 2007. Today's time as I can see, is not as colorful as it was back then. A time , when communications and relationships were significant parts of peoples' ordinary life. Today's technology has driven us to a chaotic limbo and it in it's own way makes us lose control on our feelings, relationships and sense of being. Back then communications were ok an.. people around with cellphones but not glued on commercially addictive devices. They moved their heads around , exploring an the surroundings of their unique life. I do that too, but sometimes everything seems colorful from the outside but dead inside.
Overall I think the world should have "stopped" in 1995 which in my opinion was the pinnacle of human civilization (notoriously Europe) If the world "stopped" in 2005, although human civilization had already lost that 90's aura, I think it would have a way to "get back on track" and become a kind of "different 90's" (until 2005 it was a transition period) But after 2005 human civilization took an irreversible path to its destruction.
Dam my era was cool man. Everyone was present. People talked. Looked at each other in the eyes. Love was cruel and honest today is finicky and impersonal. Anyhow. Cool clip bro
I'd go for Greg Nice's "Set It Off" or Funkmaster Flex's "Dope on Plastic", either that or LONS "Classic Material" Some of DJ Shadow's early stuff would fit like a glove too.
CRX HONDA, is a must ! Thx for this upload, its my style too ! Just the real life ! The state should be forced to record their street at least one time by month until the end of the world. ! The peoples who like to do Social Studies can observe the realites of the street,,,, and its important for the objectivity etc !
The 90's huh? Looks like March-April of 96 to me because there aren't leaves on the trees or on the ground. In the fall you would still see leaves on the ground even if they all fell......smfh I swear I wish I was born in 76 instead of 96. I really wish I was. Things looked so natural. People were living their lives and my ass wasn't even born lmao! How offensive is that
Jack Straw exactly & I don't want to be 40 sone because I don't think my generation is too bad, despite some lame & wack shit that goes in but it's whatever
Yes, early spring, and had to be a Saturday or a Sunday morning. Too few cars and too many empty cabs. Funny, I was already born for 25 years that day. Moreover, more likely than not, I was driving one of those yellow cabs that day. Gosh(!) 20 years flew by too damn fast...
DaOldSchoolRapLova96 in the 90s everyone had money and happiness but they allowed this before shit came so we thought we had something to fight back for you see
Oldsmobile i used to get my license .Rip thanks michelle behind crx ford bronco isuzu van those lincoln towns were heavy since the original movie point break
funny thing is watching this now compared to ten yrs ago i feel like it‘s still the same (low for 2010) amount of older cars on the road. this cash for clunkers must have killed a lot!
From upstate, went down in ‘18. Sitting on the train and i overheard these 3 girls saying how “they’re so New York” I chuckled and the one said excuse me??? I’m like you’re so NY huh? You scream mid west to me. Just because you moved here 3 years ago doesn’t make you “so NY” she got defensive and started making insults, but the fine authentic gentlemen and women of NY had my back and let them know they are NOT NY! And me being from upstate are more welcomed than them.
I am not NY but I love the city. I am LA and it really surprised me when I actually got to NYC how much I loved it. I was really proud once when a cab driver asked me which way was the best route so I guess I learned how to look NY. When I wear my NYU t-shirt people even ask me for directions. Unfortunately though it turns out both of my daughter's hate NYC. Maybe I pushed too hard when they were young or my oldest spent too much time in Jersey.
chevrolet caprice ,impala , and ford crown victoria taxis , oldsombile , saturn ,gmc , lcadillac ,buick ,pontiac , dodge ,jeep ,chrysler my favorite chevy celebrity 1988 at 0:21 and lincoln continental limousine 1985 at 0:55
In this vid you don't see that many 1994 Caprices. Mostly 1990 though 1993. This was filmed before giuliani made it mandatory a brand new car hack up and a 3 year corporate and 5 year private retirement policy. At that time many if not most of the cabs were used police cars. Oh boy, and were those babies fast!!!
I took my time and counted. Through out the entire video I only counted 10 Chevy Caprice 1994~1996 model year (they were the same and actually last years of Caprice Classic ever made). All the rest of the cabs in the vid were either older versions of Caprice or Crown Victorias. Til this day I think Crown Vic was the best cab, from the driver's stand point. But Caprice was cheaper, and most taxi fleets used them. It could have been me driving one of those cabs zooming by ;) ...
Omg look we had actual streets to drive on now destroyed by bike lanes and fools that want to eat and play in the road, which is not for that. All those beautiful cars and MTA buses.
I miss the 90s so much.. If i could go back to that time i would do it immediately.. No Internet.. 90s were the best era
Agreed
Agreed.
Me too agreed
Yeah whatever Boomer 🙄 that time is not coming back all you have is this video you had 10 long years to enjoy the 90's but now it's gone HAPPY 2022
Internet existed in the 90’s lol
i love the 1990s american cars
chances are they were from the 80s, i am sure cars made in 90s were still being driven in 2006
Most here are 80's cars and some are early 90's and a few brand new ones.
JLLM VIDEOS the shitty Taurus was a big deal back then, lol
More like the 1990’s gen Crown Vic it screams 1992.
In 3 years when I’m able to drive (well when I’m 16 first) I’m gonna buy either. 1975 Chrysler New Yorker or a 1982 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme
When New York was New York
its coming back
It still is
@@Wrestling316 The lower of Manhattan is no the same since 2001 dude.. I miss the original World Trade Center Buildings..
good times...
What a beautiful unmolested crx, along with all those crown vics, caprice's, and town cars.
I love them all so nicely
Oldsmobile buicks Ford tauruses and GMC RTS bus miss those I miss the old nyc .
so vintage, yet so modern. what a beautiful snapshot in time.

I just had a shit but surprisingly it didn't sting this time.
Before the SUV age.
Soccer Mom Mini Van age back the 90's. My Mom had a 1993 Murcery Villager Mini Van in the 90's. It was our family car.
Twenty-four years later, watching this video at 3;57 a.m., missing the good old days .
Aahhh i can smell the air. That 90s beautiful sunny happy peaceful vibe
THAT DISGUSTING SMOG

That is 90s lifestyle.
The same thing that goes through people’s head for the last millennia
“I have to get to work. I have to get school” etc

The 90s sucked compared to the 70s and 80s. Now this country is a hell hole. I hope Yellowstone erupts soon and destroys it.
Nice video camera 📸
The time when people had time
Ahh New York City ! I lived there for 31 years . The best time in my life . I learn a lot and also the energy was awesome 🙏🙏😎😎❤️❤️
90’s is the best days i wish i can build a machine to get the time back
If you will ever gonna build one, use a Delorean DMC-12
BYE
We played out on the streets. No smartphone no social media. You had to look a person on the eyes to socialize. I miss it!!
Wouldn’t be 90s traffic without at least 1 Ford Aerostar lol
Kinda cool to look at how my city looked before your time , I was born in 03
I love the Taurus ❤️

It would film it in the same places in the year 2016/2017 and to compare Who lives in New York;-)
You can hear people in the background actually talking to each other! The best of times before smartphones and social media! I miss my city …
Chevrolet taxi from 80s - THE BEST!
The city had cleaned up quite a bit by this time
This was the year De La Soul dropped the 4th album Stakes Is High 🖤🤍
Why did you delete your RTS buses video?...

No horns when the traffic is flowing
Did people not know how to drive in the 90s
No a cell phone in sight,,,,,
