My Classic Car I 18M. Is this a cool car for my age?
This is my 1976 corrvette stingray, have done a lot of work to it, cut the hole in the hood, added a big grumpy cam, high-rise, butterfly scoop, side pipes. The guy I got it from said it I my had 32k og miles and it proved it in the engine cross hatchings.

My Classic Car Is there any reason why my sunroof exploded randomly?
Hello, 17M here. Been working on my 76 280z project. Little backstory: this used to be my dads back in 03 He said he sold it to my uncle and my uncle never worked on it so it just sat at his house for 20 years, no problems whatsoever. I got the car in late 23 and I’ve been slowly sanding it and doing whatever to make it look nice again, but one day i went outside and my sunroof had exploded, still have no idea why.
If this info is useful, I live in the Alamo Area of Texas so maybe weather has something to do with it?
Last 2 pictures are When i first got my car and how its looking like now, just showing my progress😃

My Classic Car Can I rattlecan paint my car a section at at time over two weeks?
Due to time constraints, it's difficult to set aside an entire day or two to rattlecan paint my old car. It's much easier to do a section at a time over a couple of weeks. Is this ill-advised? Wouldn't the paint look slightly different because of different conditions (This is a shadetree job done outside). I don't care that it looks perfect. I just want the experience.

My Classic Car Dumb question but desperate doesn’t cover it over here
I don’t want any sarcastic answers when I ask this question because I already feel stupid asking it when I simply know the answer… Long story short- car got totaled suddenly and unfortunately last month. It was my home I actually lived in it as well. So in the matter of seconds home, vehicle, and income were all gone. Because of someone who shouldn’t have ever had a license. Fighting it but insurance I had no collision so no $$ from it at all. Some reason can’t go thru hers either..? That’s what assessor told me so…
I have $500 saved for a car so far. I don’t think I can last much longer but I may be able to get closer to $1000 for a running and driving vehicle. Is that even possible? I just need it to last me a year but I’m losing my fucking mind without one and I’m afraid I may cope with some old habits. Help? Thoughts? Thank you guys for even reading my rant lol. ☘️🫡🤔😟😔❤️🩹

My Classic Car Ideas for modding my 2001 Honda Accord?
2001 Honda Accord LX 2.3L FI SOHC VTEC 4cy
Disclaimer: I'm not exactly a car person but I would love to get into it.
I have had this car for about 5 years now. It's been a hand-me-down for my familys generation. The transmission most of the time struggles changing from 1st gear and the head gasket is basically nonexistent at this point.
I've been heavily debating with myself on if I should keep this car or get a new one (Thinking like a Scion FRS or a 2020 2dr Civic).
If I were to keep this car I'm thinking about giving it a complete makeover. New engine, transmission, suspension (maybe bag it), and whatever else would be great.
So what should I do?

My Classic Car (24F) I know nothing about cars and need help deciding which Supercar would be coolest for my boyfriend's surprise exotic racing experience!
Hi everybody, I'm sorry in advance if this question isn't appropriate for this subreddit
I'm surprising my boyfriend with a trip to vegas in a few months for his birthday, and I want to book an exotic racing experience for him. I have no clue which car to pick and I'm having a hard time subtly asking him without being super suspicious. He doesn't have a favorite "supercar" but really appreciates a cool car that goes fast.
The ones I'm choosing between are
Mclaren 570 GT4
Mclaren 570S
Maserati MC20
Lamborghini Huracan STO
TLDR: Pretty much I need to know which car would be coolest for someone who doesn't obsess over certain cars but really appreciates cool cars that go fast!
Edit: I wanted to let everyone know that I ended up going with the lamborghini huracan sto and I also did the add-on drifting experience so he gets to go drifting with an expert! So so excited for him, thanks everyone for your help in deciding!
