 So this year I could have spent the $2k (I haven't done top or rear tires)
 But unless something else broke (Always a turn of the key away), next couple years would only see a pair of front tires. So yes the $2k is an overestimate.
 Figure that if you saveed up the $2k each year, you could buy a new (used) boxster about every 3.5-4 years, just don't do anything to the car

Good way to explain it, comes in waves!  Some of those waves are because of it just being an old car, some just typical wear.
