So, then I got down the path of a Formula car, like a Formula V or Formula First. Fun cars, cheap, light enough to be towed by the CR-V, and could probably fit sideways in front of the Boxster. I'm not completely off this kick, but I'd be looking at around $15K - $20K for a car.

I vintage race a formula V and they are a ton of fun but not a DE car. I doubt any club is going to let you run an open wheel car with a bunch of sedans on a track day. I know the race school I went to runs track days and they absolutely said no when I asked. Visibility is a problem and open wheel, closed wheel together is not the best combo. If you go that route and get into racing you can probably get into a car for less than $15-$20k, at least for a V. I picked up a nicely sorted car last year for $6k. FF cars are a different story.
For a DE car I like the Miata route or possibly an older RX-7 if you don't go Porsche. I personally wouldn't go the kit car route, harder to sell down the road and not street legal or if it is, not street friendly. Honestly, for DE's I'd stick with the Boxster or get an older 911 you would still use as a driver and resist the hard core track car mods. The costs of running an extra car can add up over time. Ask me how I know :-(
