A Dodge Charger may work in Hattiesburg, Mississippi but not many other places.
You need a Mercedes as it relates to their stage name better. Not many strippers named “Charger.”

You guys are talking about different colored strippers.

My default for the last 25 years has been dirtbikes. However, the 5 years I spent in the Midwest I never touched my bike as there's hardly anywhere to ride. Riding around a field is boring as hell in about an hour.
So I grabbed a 14' aluminum boat and 55lb trolling motor and fished for pan fish and walleye in every pond and lake I could find. While drinking excessive amounts of beer.
I moved back west where there's public lands and trail systems again, and now I have thousands of $ in rods and tackle stuffed in a corner, boat is gone, and I ride dirtbikes every chance I get.
If you’re leaning toward a boat I would go with a club membership at Freedom Boats. You pay a couple thousand down and a monthly membership fee which includes insurance, maintenance, but you pay for fuel.
Our location has 30 boats to choose from. You can drive up on a motorcycle and walk down to the boat and go cruise for 4-5 hours then come back to the dock hand them the keys and all done. They swap out new boats every 2-3 years depending on hours of use.
No maintenance, no cleaning, no storage fees, or messing with the boat launch. They have around 40 locations across the country you can also use as a member. When we travel to Florida we reserve a boat there which is cool we don’t have to trailer a boat cross country.
After owning multiple boats you will end up financially ahead using freedom boats.

Just to drive a boat around?
I always looked at boats as a pain in my ass necessary to fish the good spots. They are a place to store all the rods and tackle, and you can't fish without $10k in electronics
Yea, I hear that. When I was trying to move --unsuccessfully-- to Colorado my plan was for a KTM with a MotoTrax kit. If you're not familiar, it's a system that replaces the swing arm, suspension and rear wheel with a track system and the front wheel with a ski.
But here, there's not many places to dirt bike or ATV, and everything is flat.
Since I can't kayak now, I have a bunch of rods and reels, including some JDM Shimano Metanium 70s, sitting in the corner of the garage. With a boat I could at least cruise, do some fishing, and go trolling & pull planer boards. With a solid 20' deep-V I could hit Lake MI and Green Bay for Walleye and Salmon.
I briefly considered a horse, since I've always liked horses, and worked on a horse farm during college, I don't think I'm willing to commit to $700/mo for boarding. There's a nicely developed trail system out here for riding with plenty of access.
However good she thinks it is, I wouldn't break a wooden nickel for it.
If you're really brave try paragliding with the motor backpack thing, I run into them here in Arizona they go up 5-10k feet above ground altitude on those things.
I'd sell that, put the 25k with it and buy a 4wd truck.

Lots of guys have mentioned boats. I will agree with the boat vote. Here in north central Idaho we see pretty nice used boats for $25-$30k. I’ve seen some decent jet sleds with twin jets for around $25k. Guys run the Clearwater and snake with that size and you can catch plenty of fish. Or else get a 20’ sled with a 350 and a Hamilton or a good 250 horse outboard and hit the lakes. Lots of options in the $25k range in boats.
Instead of a new car....Spend a quarter of that and start racing karts. A brand new chassis and engine(type specific) would run you about $4500 - $5000. 4 cycle engines are slower.....But, last forever. 2 strokes are MUCH faster and need maintenance regularly.
If one catches things right one can make some serious money but don't FOMO in like I did at first. Buy low in the dips, sell high later, rinse and repeat. I suggest using a Yubikey and a hard wallet to keep your funds safe and use the stop loss feature.
Hint, having massive utility XRP/Ripple is a good one and might be the next BTC in growth. I've layered in to be a crypto millionaire by 12x. Honestly it's been a little stressful but fun at the same time, and I've gained some serious $$$$$ lately when I took profits off my other crypto's that I bought on April 8th. Doing all this kinda turned into a hobby too.
My SIL lost his job two months ago so he's in a desperate situation. I suggested trying trading crypto and in one week he made $1000 off his initial $3000!
It's funny because he had his Coinbase account from 4 years ago and had left $20 in BTC in it which he had forgot about, so when he signed on last week it had turned into $115!

I vote car only because I’ve had an idea for a Porsche Cayman clanging around in my head lately. The one I’m specifically thinking about is a bit outside your price range(981 chassis ‘13-‘16) but a 987.2 would be doable.
I kind of specifically want PDK, non-PASM, & black interior and then put a barely streetable adjustable suspension under it to rip through the mountains. With long term plans(or lottery winnings) of Kevlar body panels, lightweight polycarbonate windows, & ceramic brake retrofit
I imagine it being the Porsche equivalent to the Team Schirmer V8 GT from Germany(look that up too, it’s amazeballs)

Im on the hunt for a 2009-2012 (987.2) Cayman myself. Drove a white with black interior and wheels with PDK and really liked it.
Im holding out for a manual, just so my wife cant claim it.

OK, it turns out I actually am but a common poor 
Even on used boats $25k doesn't go far. I'm searching within 300 miles and there's only a few boats less than 20 years old.
I wound up at a power boat dealer, by mistake, and when I said I was looking for Lund and Alumacraft the dude all but called me poor and told me to leave, lmao.
I'll have to consider increasing my budget, as allergic as I am to spending money.

I’m really missing a fun car. I had a T5, awd, MT Volvo S40 a few years ago but that blew a head gasket and I didn’t have time(with young kids/babies in the house) to fix it.
My first German car love, even before working for Mercedes, was Porsche and the Cayman is just such a great value. We’ve got more important family stuff to do right now but I need a fun car again…
