Ha! What a hoot! I'm north of you in Vancouver, BC, and have a GR CT coming with PCCBs, RAS and 4WSS+ seats. Almost identical, but without the LWBS. I agonized over those but chose the 4WSS+ for a daily driver. Tough, first-world choices, right? Enjoy your Racing Yellow!

Super cool & thanks. I have LWBS in both of my Carrera Ts which is a good forcing function for me to build up my core strength so I can get in/out with some level of discomfort.

That's awesome! Welcome to the racing yellow CT club! You might be the only one with two CTs also, which is really cool. I'll be curious to hear your thoughts on RAS since you'll have the regular opportunity to drive a CT with and without RAS. I've thought RAS might be one of those things that you get used to having, or not, without a direct A/B comparison.

Funny!

My family rolled their eyes when I ordered a set of original floor mats to replace the ones that came with my car (being that they are highly available and inexpensive right now). I simply put them on a shelf in my garage, forecasting many years of enjoying the car and someday wanting the ability to swap for that fresh like new look. I did not consider the second car option to vacuum seal a replacement ... ;-)

I too am super glad that I pursued the Carrera T option in my desire to get a 911 (again - I had in the past a guards red 1988 G series Carrera). I'm so happy with the fortunate timing on being able to swing it last summer with $$ and a build slot, euro deliver window in august 2018, how the 991.2 style looks, the T feature set offered, and how cool it is to be able to find ways to individualize my factory and aftermarket options. When I look through by 50 years of Porsche 911 book, I find that I gravitate to the 1970s 911T, 80s G series, and the 991.2 family body stylings. Super sexy lines on each of these particular generations IMO. My Carrera T sort of tries to melt all of these into a "best of" blend.

I do have a personal promised that I made to myself, after having deep regrets in trading in that former 911 a few years ago. Keep all my current cars and resist the temptation to part with any of them. Each is unique and has a nostalgic or special reason I use to justify my stable mentality. Certain cars (usually German) are able to remain wonderful, no matter how old.

My post college 2nd hand VW beetle (1967 - same year as me). I restored it over a few years in the late 90s. Been with it 26 years now.
I had a 2015 Golf R with an awesome rally graphics wrap, but this got totaled a few weeks ago - very sad to see it go. Insurance replacement has yielded me the new cornflower blue VW Golf Rabbit Edition GTI. My new daily driver for city traffic to work. The Clark plaid tartan seats, amazing blue color, and the red accents are hard to say no to.
Then I have my two super models... PTSEHE and 911T, each are just downright amazing.

I can safely say that all my automotive itches are scratched with this collection. For those thinking 2 Carrera Ts, I get it ;-)

That's a nice one. Had a good look at it last week while my T was in for it's birthday service.

I'd probably do the same if I could.

Having said that, I'm hoping the 992.2 T will be nice. With cars in general getting so complex and costly to fix out of warranty, I'm thinking of just getting the newest .2 model every time. But we'll see. There's plenty of time to make that decision.

I actually considered the same and had called my dealer to order some. But he talked me out of it, saying that they'll always be available. I ended up buying the rubber mats, which I love, so my factory mats won't get used anyway.

FORENN

I'm not sure how the 992 Carrera T could hope to compare to the 991. It will be bigger, heavier, and necessarily include a lot more tech (even further away from analog), all of which is patently antithetical to the character and essence of the Carrera T. And the 992 T will surely be produced in greater numbers. I'll go on the record now: History will look back on our 991 Carrera T's quite favorably, especially the enthusiast builds.

Ikone

I hope so. I could use the higher resale value.

I don't disagree with your points. But, I would have to wait until I drive one. I also think that the 991 is already so digital that the 992 is more of a tweak to the same car than anything else. The only digital addition is the wet mode.
