I think the most beautiful car is the 2007 Bentley Arnage R/T :3
Though its a weeee bit on the expensive side
Can't drive a Bentley unless you're either; an old man, or black.
The STI is the highest end model WRX that Subaru sells to the public (http://www.subaru.com/vehicles/impreza-wrx/index.html).
You listed a Celica but think Corvettes are lame? :S
Also, with a 100k budget, you could get one of the new BMW Z4s, so lovey. An old Porche 911 Turbo might also be fun to buy and modify as well. Personally, if I had your budget, I'd probably go grab a Viper, simply because they've been one of my favourite cars since I was like 5.
Yeah, I know. I didn't consider that, lol.
And yes, I hate Corvettes. I can't tell you why, because I don't know, but just the sight of a corvette makes me cringe.
And A Z4 was considered for a hot second, btu then I was like "meh". My Grandfather has an old 911 Turbo in his collection that he's let me drive, it's nice.
Also, I dislike Vipers as well, for the same reason as a 'vette.
I'm not the spoiled rich kid who blows stupid stuff way out of proportion because all of his problems are superficial. 
At least I don't lie about not having a rooster. :D
This is sad, the car Im gonna get when I can drive has a max price of 4000 and then here you come with a 100,000 dollar limit
I've saved up like 28k for a car myself, lol. This is going to be a present from my parents for my birthday if I decide to have them buy it.
I work my ass off for my stuff, and never ask them, so they figured they'd spoil me for once. :o
What you could do is take the Civic for like 13k or whatever, put like 20-30k into it, then buy me a birthday present next Tuesday. ;)
It'll be strongly considered. :D
