thought I would be the weird one to suggest the Toyota Century, nope!
offbeat? I would be remiss as a massive Viper fan if I did not say the Dodge Viper, could get a reasonably recent 4th gen (up to 2008) for under 50!
Could also get an Audi S5 for under 20k, may not look exciting, but 2 doors, awd, and 354 hp (for early model ones, which would be the only ones able to afford)
they’re not manual but you can get a GMC Syclone or Typhoon, be interesting and kick the snow’s ass
