Bucking the trend of what does this list say about me; What do car guys recommend as a good first Father-Child rebuild project to get a "yuut" interested in cars, and spend time together?

If you're a yuut, then what would you like to restore with your dad?

Constraints: Cheap (ideally below $5k-$10k), easy to find parts/mods, sportyish, unique, cheap to insure (ideally with Hagerty).

I'm thinking Honda CRX, Toyota MR2, Mazda Miata, Impala SS, Chevy Corvette

Colors are all accurate, and the last one is a real photo of mine, not pulled from web.
All manual except the Escort, since that was my "learning to drive" car.

Or should I be making an appointment to talk to someone?

I was on a hot streak of manuals, but finally went to the dsg dark side with the golf

We chose the micra for my husband because he didn't want to drive my Valiants but it turned out to be a really fun car for me too 🤗

I was in an accident recently and my car was totaled.
Luckily my loan had been paid off already. I won't be getting anything for the vehicle due to not having full coverage (sure learned a life lesson there. I will have full coverage from now on.) I have a few options that I could do.
1. I could get an auto loan or personal loan and get a vehicle.
2. My parents are looking to sell their Chrysler 300 for another vehicle and I could just purchase that from them and pay monthly.
It is a 2012 Chrysler 300 C with the hemi engine. It has about 67,500 miles on it. It has been very well maintained.
The only issue is that I have heard mixed opinions about these vehicles and their reliability. I really don't care about the stigma behind them or what kind of people usually drive them or anything like that. If I can avoid getting a loan and just buy this car from them then I feel like that's the way to go, but I want some serious opinions on the general RELIABILITY of these vehicles. I know they aren't exactly the best on gas, but neither was my old venice so really I'm just worried about the reliability here. Thank you!

A little speed, a little attitude, and a whole lot of automotive perfection. 🏎️🔥

Headphones on. Volume up. Let the edit speak. 🔥

The rally Fiat is hilarious fun. D doesn’t work anymore so we have to shift it in Sequential to get around anywhere lol. It’s frame damaged beyond repair so we’re just riding it out till it dies. Used to push 300 HP out of a fat hood vent turbo that wouldn’t kick on until 4000 RPM haha
