Moving from mid-engine to a Carrera T

Hello all, this is my first post. I'm out of Northern Virginia. a 15-year Porsche owner (base Cayman in 2008, 718 Boxster S in 2017, wife drives a Macan) and member of PCA. I run our "drive and dine" touring group in Potomac Region, so I do spend a lot of time on the scenic mountain and hill roads of VA, MD, PA and WV. Once in a while we make it to the beach or the lighthouses of southern Maryland too,

As of last night, after about a 1 month wait, I received an allocation for a Carrera T, my first 911 (and a manual to boot) which is scheduled for production in the June-July period. I was advised it will be a "2024" model, so I'm wondering if the 992.2 upgrades are actually going to be classified as 2025, since there haven't been any unveilings of the .2's, which would have likely happened already, as opposed to the snowy preview pictures with disguises tacked onto the cars.

Still trying to get my arms around the fairly limited color options. (I have a feeling anything not black, white, silver, guards red or racing yellow will eventually become an $11,000 paint-to-sample.) It is definitely s crapshoot on what colors may be "in" or "out" for 2024 beyond the basic 4. Plus will Bose be available? Will there be interior options besides basic black checked Sport-Tex, gray stitching / pinstripes or green stitching / pinstripes? I have done a couple configs (OK more than a couple configs). Two of them have stripes (and all have door decal-delete) just so they pop a little more. I welcome your thoughts / any intelligence on what a "2024" model will be. Thanks all!

I don’t think it’s German. It might be Dutch ? OK I’m just guessing .
That would be my guess.
How about a 90 old Dad perfectly coordinated with the 992! 🤪 If I sit my Mom, no way she comes out. 😉

Now that's pure class!

True, most yellow sport coats got left behind in the 80s.

I have to imagine yellow would be much easier to keep looking nice than GB.

Yellow is a flat color . GB is metallic . Im am not kidding when I say that my chalk Macan is harder to keep clean than my former Jet Black . In contrast Gt silver is like. a breath of fresh air . It looks clean even when dirty .

Sometimes I get home I’m looking forward to give it a quick detail then I realize it doesn’t even need it!

It’s ok if you forget why you went to the garage. It’s not ok if you forget where the garage is.

Excellent point!
Finally - the second milestone is reached. It is "set in stone and prepared for creation" (probably best said with a German accent).
