I have a 5 year old future Porsche owner who sits in the back of my T… she’s the reason I bought the car in the first place!
This to me is the sole reason to get rear seats. If I had kids, I'd do it in a heartbeat. But the "get my moneys' worth" argument is lost on me. I got deviated stitching and belts and adding rear seats never crossed my mind. I don't want to lug dead weight, even if it's only 25lbs and I love the purposeful look of rear seat delete. There's a reason Clubsports and RSs don't have rear seats and the T is really a Clubsport forced to wear a different badge.

It's nice that we all have a choice with the T - not only that, a free choice!
Need to catch up reading here. But wanted to share this milestone. The roadtrip km are shown above. On my way back now and still have around 1650km to go before home.
The exhaust is really coming to life with more pops & bangs than before. Very noticeable, although it clearly is NOT a 991.2 T of course.
How do you deal with the layer of fine dust that accumulates after each drive? I'm afraid the California Car Duster that I'd used for years will leave scratches on the paint, so I'm hosing the car down with a power washer (no soap) and drying with a Klin microfiber drying towel.

Getting my T in GB, the option for getting painted key in exterior color does not have GB..I declined... just thought it is very strange....
I always get my keys painted by the dealer. Same quality and the dealer pays.

All I can tell you is that more power is not always more fun. When driving up the highway with the T 160km/h is a pretty nice speed and I will not be losing my driver license. With the S I would be driving like 200km/h and thus I felt more nervous. Also squeezing out the maximum performance of a car is always nicer than driving on 80%. To me it’s about that balance. The T just delivers in this respect.

Ha, just let buildings speak for my T going forward.
Don't know how I missed this pic. Looking good @ECNJ!

The ultimate car for this ultimate roadtrip.
You've got to have the highest mile Carrera T in the world right now. Well done! I've got a 6k km roadtrip coming up. About 4k km are boring so debating shipping the car for that stretch and just doing the 2k km fun part.

I sometimes use Adam’s Polishes Waterless Wash and a microfiber towel. Works well and is fairly quick if the car’s not too dirty. I mostly use it on my old 1971 BMW 2002 because it doesn’t get as filthy as my T. The T is PPF’d so no scratching. The old BMW has some patina already so I don’t worry about it too much but it doesn’t seem to leave scratches if the spray is applied reasonably liberally. I’d recommend testing a small area on the 911 beforehand if you go this route and it doesn’t have PPF.
My cracked windshield is fixed and the T is back in service. The Great Plains where I live are great for some good pulls on the straights that play nicely with the gearing on the 992 T. Today, however, since I’ve got her back I struck out on a fun drive into the nearby Mississippi River valley. A good touring road, which should be spectacular in the fall. I was thinking the whole time how much I just love this damn car! It calls to you to take it out on drives like this as someone said many pages ago. When I first got it back from the dealership the ride was very harsh and I realized they juiced the tire pressure ALL the way back up so I put it to partial load and it made for a comfortable drive. Let’s say these cars do get hybridized, heavier and more powerful in the future or even electrified, well, this is the car I would want to capture in a bottle and keep close in that future. I have a Taycan CT4 and I love it dearly as a daily driver but the T just has that special magic. Happy to see all these Ts going to enthusiasts!
