My T build is $25k less than my preferred S build ($160k). That is fairly significant. Furthermore, I am strongly in the camp of “less is more” on a T.

I will be long dead by the time a 992 becomes a classic in 25-30+ years. It also would have to be a bubble car, a garage queen to fully appreciate monetarily. A true driver is not going to do that.

$2,500 is $2,500. For some people that's peanuts. Others clawed and saved their way to the $140,000 because it is their passion. Everyone's different.

Also, there's not much logic to it. There are many, many $500-$2,500 options. The "it's only ~1%" argument applies to all of them. Should you therefore tick them all and get to the $160,000 CarreraT?

Deviated stitching, your color of choice, cost more than $2500. Edit: The overall cost is $8150.

The answer is Yes! But get the right options and spec what will most likely be your last pure IC 911 manual T. I highly recommend breaking your budget on this car.

Die hard T fans IGNORE this non T post! Please don’t call the RList cops on me. This is for my T-mates that love 911s and cars period….

Anyone else at the LA auto show press day? No new 911 Speedster? It was supposed to be there? Disappointing. Best thing may have been the free drinks, ha. For u car freaks like me that love all kinds of cars….pic of new Mustang GTD (beast) and Prelude…both cool in their own way.

I would like to score the picture above, but I am an Apple guy. I do have the other three though.

Edit: BTW, Congrats… and you won the tire lottery too!

Goes back to the old saying…just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

I'm a big fan of this for leather. I just did it on my 2014 GT500, cleaner first then the conditioner. It does a great job and leaves a really nice leather smell. That 10 year old leather looked great at first, but a lot of dirt came off with the cleaner. Then the conditioner to finish it off. Perfect!
