If I know I am not going to drive the car for a week or so, I will put it on the charger. If I am away for a long weekend, sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. Frankly, it is so easy to do that I typically just do it. Well worth it for the benefit of RAS in my personal opinion. Akin to choosing the Spyder wheels. They add a small amount of time in caring for the car, but I like them and the "hassle" is worth it to me.

Some might disagree... get what makes it feel special to you.

Build freezes over the weekend.
Changed my color to gt silver. Ditched the grey.
I appreciate the classicness of the gt silver and boy I love that shine!
All I added from my previous build is sport side skirts, exterior color side mirrors.
Eta October!

Congratulations! My 997 TT-S was GT silver which is such a classic color.

Congrats on your allocation & very nice build. Mine is a GTS coupe. It’s remarkable just how much the 930 package & Alcantara headliner elevate the interior. You’ll be very happy you added it. I recently did the GT3 vs GT3 Manthey experience in PECATL and thought to myself “these only need the 930” but that thought was quickly washed away by “OMG the g-force” 😂

I wholly agree on the interior’s importance & to that end disagree on exhaust. It’s part of the interior “experience”.

It's where you spend 98% of the time when you're with the car.

Color, exhaust, exterior bits, etc. are all for everyone around you.

The interior is for you.
