The top 5 retro cars you can play in Rocket League

For a game that’s free to play, Rocket League sure is good at getting me to give it money.

In large part, that’s because they do a really great job of creating scarcity. The item shop only has a limited number of items each day, so if you see something you want, you feel the pressure to buy it right away.

Then there’s the licensed content—aka, my Achilles heel. Sometimes it’s tied to a specific promotion, like the 007 cars, or sometimes it just seems to pop up out of the blue. 

And when I see a nerdy, retro car out there with only a limited time to buy it? It will be mine. Oh yes, it will be mine.
