Z for a first car?

My first car was a 1984 Toyota Celica GT. It was older than me, RWD, and live axle. For something with 110lbs of torque, it should scare the crap out of me in the rain. Pretty damn reliable and simple to repair. Then I moved on to a 1992 Nissan 240sx. RWD engine bay layout made it great and easy for me for repairs without needing to go under at all.

Reason for me repairing cars is because I had time (in college), but do not have the money to get it repaired by a mechanic. Plus, I love to work on cars. I buy cars so I would learn how to work and tinker with them. If I screw up, $3000 is much better to lose than $30,000.
