Default What car posters were on your wall as a child growing up?

I thought this would be a good thread. Growing up, I had the Lambo Countach in white and a Detosomo Pantera as well. Funny, not one Porsche, really never thought of the brand.

Testerossa was the other one. I also had a Firebird poster.

I would say as a child, Lamborghini was the one. Between the Countach and Diablo as I got older, it was THE exotic for me.

Growing up I had lots of posters of cars but I remember my favorite being the one with the DeLorean on it.

I know, I know but hey what can I say... I grew up near the ocean and the fact that it was a 'cool' looking Stainless Steel car that wouldn't rust intrigued me.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane...

I had 4 big posters. You know the ones you would get for $2 at the 4th grade School Fair??!!!!!

I had I believe the White 25th Ann. Countach, Black Diablo, Red Ferrari F355 GTS, and a Red Ferrari F50.

OT: On the otherside, it was 3 Michael Jordan posters. One of them of him dunking from the Foul line.

Had to throw that in there. Great thread though. I miss those days.

Default Ah the good ole days!!

Between all my MJ and Knicks (John Starks dunking on 3 Bulls) posters I had a Range Rover County Poster. You know the rest. I think every boy in the 80's had a thing for the Countach tho

Great question! I had a red Lamborghini Diablo (which inspire my screennames even to this day), a red Acura NSX, a blue Dodge Viper with white racing stripes, and a red Ferrari F355 Spider. Hotness.

The only poster I can recall having was that of a Porsche Boxster and a Porsche 911, I did have a picture of 1998 Lexus GS 400 from the 1998 Lexus Model Guide. Now I only have a picture of the 2006 Lexus GS 430. You can tell I love the GS.

Call me crazy... a vintage 1990 Lexus ES250 poster with the headline "Driving A Lexus Has Never Been More Attractive...or Easier". It's still up on my wall to date.

I had a large framed poster by my bed of a silver Vector like the one in "Rising Sun" I also had a smaller poster of a Porsche 959. I had a few small posters, toys, and hot wheel cars of the Trans Am in "Smokey and the Bandit" and the "Dukes of Hazard" General Lee. I had a Firebird "Night Rider" picture too.
