I had a question wheel related for you. I have a 2018 T with rear wheel assist with the standard wheels. My question is do you know the wheel specs? My car is in a different state and I was going to pick up a second set of wheels but I cant remember if the wheels are 20X11.5 ET 76 or ET 56.

We're still going back and forth on the final payout. Fortunately I have an agreed value insurance policy at $105k, so that should be the lowest amount I receive. They also do a separate appraisal using market comps (in case it's actually valued higher than the agreed value) which came back at $99k... I felt it was a generic, bland appraisal, with very little if any effort put into determining the cost of my specific car if I were to try to purchase one today. I raised a stink because it seemed clear to me that this company did not perform adequate diligence... no credit for PCCBs, and several inconsistencies in the report with respect to the three car's options. I pushed hard for a re-appraisal and my insurance company thankfully agreed, so that's now underway by an estimator who has experience with exotic cars. I still have low confidence, but it's something.
The independent appraiser valued my car at $114k which was a huge win... a full $15k more than the first appraisal and $9k more than my agreed value. Incidentally, that higher valuation also caused the salvage value to jump by $15k, which simplified things... walk away with cash in hand.

Final update for posterity:
Not sure what to do about a replacement just yet... The biggest problem is that the T was such a special car, nothing short of ~$200k quite stacks up. Maybe a GT3 with a WRX-ish side-piece for daily duty? In closing: if anyone is selling their T with PCCBs, buckets, RAS, 7MT, and slick top, please let me know.

992 doesn't do it for me. 991.2 narrow body and fabric door pulls are where its at.
I kind of like the idea of having a daily beater that I don't have to worry about putting miles on, and can drive anywhere in snow. Oh yeah, I did that with the T too.

Hmmm.... I have a T with AP Racing brakes, buckets, RAS, 7MT, and a slick top. I'm about 30mins north of you, no less. I don't know what I'd replace it with, though the silly notion of an Ariel Atom or Caterham while I'm young enough to enjoy such a car does come to mind on occasion.

New Guy!
I wrote such a thoughtful post, which was deleted. Ugh. So, helloeveryone!
I have a T on order (lock date 2 weeks) and I hope to leverage your communal knowledge, but I hope to pay that back over time. I’ll wait to pose my questions.
Will be my first Porsche. Nice to meet you all!

Are you guys getting gapped by Atoms at the track? What’s the fuss?

The appeal of a Caterham or an Atom is the minimalism. It’s exactly as much is required to be a “car” and nothing more. That brings a visceral feel that no modern Porsche can come anywhere close to. Of course there are “compromises,” but one person’s compromise is another’s life-affirming sensation.

Yes. That forum has lots of good information on deviated stitching and matching colors.
