wow. that's a lot of $$ to spend for two weeks.

Was it on an exotic island full of young hot naked women that you could screw whenever you wanted??? At 25k / week it should have been.....

on a serious note, congrats on getting through rehab and my hope is that you don't need to go back. in my line of work, I see the people who don't make it to rehab and wind up spiralling into a life of pure self destruction... and yes a Boxster is excellent for one's mental well being..although if you can afford $50k for two weeks - you might be able to afford something much cooler than a Boxster....

Good luck!

I got a kick out of that. Don't sweat the brake job bill, you'll be more prepared for the next repair I'm guessing. BTW....I just did a complete brake job F & R and fluid flush, if you buy all the parts and sensors required your parts costs are going to ad up to a helluvalot more than what some of the above figures suggest.

I had a great alignment and brake guy back in the day. The overall cost was usually about half that of the local Porsche. Personally, I am not capable of brake work but did save some dough by having this resource.
