Coming Soon: The Black Friday 90s Edition
The ‘90s were all about living extreme. If you weren't living on the edge, you were taking up too much space. It was a unique window in time where mechanical engineering peaked right before heavy digital intervention took over. No driver aids, no algorithms, just paper maps, late nights in the garage, weekend track days and pushing machines to their limits.
Push the limits! With Element's E100 Fire Extinguisher along for the ride, you've got compact fire protection ready when you need it, with big advantages over traditional extinguishers:
-
Up to 100 SECOND DISCHARGE. Almost 10x longer than a 5lb fire extinguisher bottle
-
80% Smaller than a traditional 5 lb fire extinguisher
-
ZERO Messy Residue left behind
-
NO Servicing or Maintenance Required
Here are some of the most iconic cars of the decade:
1. Toyota Supra MK4 Turbo (1993 to 1998)
The undisputed king of the street was comfortable enough to drive to work every single day, but that twin-turbo 2JZ engine under the hood meant you could easily turn up the boost on the weekend and smoke supercars on the highway.
2. Mazda MX-5 Miata NA (1990 to 1998)
The NA won everyone over with its smiling front intake and those charming mechanical pop-up headlights, single-handedly reviving the roadster market by proving you do not need big horsepower to have a blast on your daily commute.
3. BMW E36 M3 (1992 to 1999)
Built on BMW's motorsport heritage, the E36 M3 brought race-inspired handling to the street. With its high-revving straight-six, rear-wheel drive and well-balanced chassis, it delivered impressive performance. North American models produced 240 horsepower, while European versions offered up to 321 horsepower. It was a sports coupe or sedan that combined precise handling with the refinement BMW was known for.
4. DC2 Integra Type R (1997 to 2001)
Honda didn't just give the Integra a bigger wing and call it a Type R. It got a hand-finished 1.8-liter VTEC engine producing 195 horsepower, a close-ratio five-speed manual, a limited-slip differential and a reinforced chassis. With its 8,400 RPM redline and razor-sharp handling, the Type R became one of the most respected front-wheel-drive performance cars ever made.
5. Honda Civic Si (1999 to 2000)
The sixth-generation Civic Si proved that a small, lightweight coupe could deliver driving excitement without massive horsepower. Its 1.6-liter DOHC VTEC engine produced 160 horsepower and revved to around 8,000 RPM, while its five-speed manual transmission and nimble chassis made it a favorite among Honda enthusiasts and the growing import-tuning scene.
6. Volkswagen Corrado VR6 (1992 to 1994)
The Corrado had a low-slung coupe body, an automatically deploying rear spoiler and, in VR6 form, a 2.8-liter six-cylinder producing 178 horsepower in North America. It combined the practicality of a hatchback with the performance and character of a proper sports coupe, making it one of VW's most memorable cars of the decade.
7. Jeep Cherokee XJ (1990 to 1999)
Cherished for its rugged simplicity and boxy styling, the XJ tackled rough winter commutes, deep potholes, and muddy weekend trails without complaint thanks to an indestructible 4.0-liter straight-six engine built long before SUVs became soft suburban commuters.
8. Chevrolet Corvette C5 (1997 to 2004)
A crucial ground-up redesign finally transformed the Corvette into a comfortable everyday cruiser, offering generous rear hatchback cargo space alongside the debut of the legendary all-aluminum LS1 V8 engine.
9. Nissan 240SX (1989 to 1998)
Lightweight, rear-wheel drive, and perfectly balanced, the S13 and S14 were affordable everyday coupes that ended up launching an entire generation of street drifting culture.
10. Subaru Impreza 2.5RS (1998 to 2001)
Subaru gave us the aggressive widebody rally look with functional hood vents and all-wheel drive, giving enthusiasts a capable four-season daily long before the turbo WRX officially landed in North America.
Notable Mention: Hummer H1
Going offroad? Very iconic of the decade, AM General took a military Humvee and put it right onto public streets. It completely dominated with geared portal hubs, central tire inflation, and military proportions that swallowed up the entire lane.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Element compare to standard ABC fire extinguishers?
Standard red cans blast corrosive chemical powder in under ten seconds, which often totals wiring looms and engine bays after the fire is out. Element discharges a clean agent extinguisher for up to 100 seconds with zero residue, zero cleanup, and zero collateral damage.
Do all fire extinguishers expire?
While traditional extinguishers expire, Element does not. Since Element uses a solid-state compound rather than stored compressed gas, it has no moving parts, requires zero service or inspections, and always remains ready to fight fire.
What types of fires is the Element Fire Extinguisher designed to handle?
Element Fire Extinguishers are engineered for early-stage flare-ups before flames take over an entire compartment. It safely handles Class A solid combustibles, Class B flammable liquids like fuel and oil, Class C electrical systems, and Class K cooking grease.
What's the best fire extinguisher for a home?
The best home fire extinguisher handles common household risks without causing catastrophic cleanup. Unlike traditional dry chemical extinguishers that ruin electronics and appliances with corrosive powder, Element uses a non-toxic, residue-free gas. It stops kitchen grease, electrical, and solid fuel flare-ups in seconds and never expires or requires inspection.
What's the best compact car fire extinguisher for daily drivers?
Element Fire Extinguishers are the ideal compact car extinguisher for daily drivers. Weighing under one pound and measuring less than 11 inches, they easily stow inside a glovebox or door pocket. The E100 offers an impressive 100-second discharge, providing nearly ten times the fight time of a traditional 5-lb extinguisher with zero toxic residue or maintenance.
