Thank You So Much Finally, the blog’s readership has exceeded 100. It’s been 57 days since I started this blog. The spark came when my husband said, “If you love the Panamera that much, why don’t you just start a blog or something?” Taking it lightly, I created a Hatena Bookmark account and began writing my passionate, somewhat niche love for the Panamera. At first, daily visits were just “2” or “5,” so I wrote...
Visiting My Husband’s Family Home Yesterday, we drove our Panamera back to my husband’s family home for a memorial service with our family of four. After arriving, an uncle from the relatives came over and asked: “Whose is that big white car parked outside?” People around asked, “Whose? What kind of car?” but it was clear he was talking about the Panamera. Since my husband didn’t say anything, I thought it would be strange for...
Trusting My Eyes Over Technology “Don’t you use the backup monitor?” My husband and mother often ask me that when I’m parking. When parking the Panamera, it’s true that I rarely look at the backup monitor. Instead, I usually rely on checking the side and rearview mirrors. I just don’t trust machines! It’s all about looking with your own eyes! Your own eyes! That’s what I used to say, but really, I just wasn’t used...
A Story About Our Eldest Daughter Our eldest daughter, who will soon turn four, has a personality that pays close attention to details. Her kindergarten teacher told me, “Even when she draws, she focuses on the details, carefully observing and trying to reproduce every little part.” On the other hand, I’m a rough-and-ready type who thinks, “Ignore the details, just get the big picture right,” so I often reflect on how completely different our personalities...
A Change of Heart… Thanks to you, this blog is about to reach 100 readers. I truly appreciate it! It’s been almost two months since I started writing this blog, and something inside me has changed significantly. That is “deciding to buy a Panamera.” You might think, “Haven’t you been saying that all along in the blog?” but it’s a bit different. Before I started blogging, it was more like “It would be nice if...
I Love the Panamera I absolutely adore the Panamera, and in a previous blog, I wrote about the “reasons why I love the Panamera.” “Ah, the Panamera, what a magnificent car it is…” Every day I drive it, I’m moved all over again. The confident presence it commands in the parking lot, the aura of a true champion, the acceleration merging onto the highway, the sound of its engine, the unity between driver and machine...
Arm Covers In summer, I often see women driving while wearing sun-protection arm covers (arm covers). However, I had always pictured arm covers as something only older ladies wear, so I was absolutely determined never to wear them myself. (Even though I’m actually not that young anymore.) But the other day, while driving on the highway, the sunlight was unbearably strong and my arms started to feel like they were burning. I thought, “This is...
Washing the Panamera With two small children, and the youngest daughter still an infant not yet in daycare, washing the Panamera myself during the day is quite challenging. I might be able to tough it out and wash the car while carrying the baby in an Ergo carrier during my eldest daughter’s kindergarten hours, but there’s a good chance the baby would get splashed with water and start crying. Also, with my usual lack of...
Dragon Quest XI Released! The long-awaited Dragon Quest XI was released recently. I’m part of the Dragon Quest generation and used to play Dragon Quest III a lot, so I’m sure many of you in your late 20s to 40s are just as excited about this new release. While browsing the web around the time of the release, I came across something called the “Dragon Quest Life Philosophy.” Apparently, it was a hot topic over...
Dream Supercars I came across this article. Top 20 Popular Foreign Cars by Manufacturer and Type! Also Featuring Used Car Prices Inside, there was a “Top 3 Dream Foreign Supercar Brands Ranking”, and the ranking was as follows: 1st place: Ferrari 2nd place: Lamborghini 3rd place: Porsche I thought, “Makes sense…” and suddenly remembered my university seminar classmate M, who passionately dreamed back then, saying “Someday, I’m going to buy a Ferrari!” M, Who Dreamed...
