So now I'm looking at 2 seaters or 4 seaters, $20-40k.

I've found a 2001 911 turbo in town, a couple 996 Carreras, and a couple of Caymans (Caymen? ). One or two of the Carreras have sport seats and one of the Caymans an S has sport seats which is something that I think i would like, but I'll know for sure when I sit in them. Sport Seats aren't deal killers. Miles range from 11k to 48k, years range from '99 to 2010, I think.

I was going to post "why not keep the Explorer as backup and just look for a fun car" but I see you already come to that conclusion.
I'm curious, have you already sold off the Miata?
