Received a Porsche Model Photo Calendar at My Boxster’s 1-Year Inspection

Novelty Goods The other day, I took my Boxster GTS in for its second one-year inspection. Mr. H, my dealer’s representative, came to pick it up from my home. The inspection itself was completed in half a day, and by night, the Boxster was back home. At that time, Mr. H brought some novelty goods, which included two different items. What’s this? …The black one is clearly a calendar. I think many people who have...

Maybe I’ll Start an English Version of the Panamera Blog

Unexpected Mac Update Error. Every Monday, my parents come over to watch the kids, so I cram all my errands and appointments into that day. I can work without being interrupted by the kids,and when I get home, a delicious meal is ready… Monday really feels like heaven. But this morning, thanks to a Mac update error, I couldn’t get any work done at all, and half the day just slipped away. Ah, what a...

Touchscreen Operation and Frequently Used Buttons on the New Porsche Panamera

Touchscreen Operation It’s been just over a month since my Panamera Turbo was delivered. When I go on longer trips, I find myself using the touchscreen a bit more, so I feel like I’m starting to get the hang of it. That said, there are still many features I don’t know about, and I think I’m only using the bare minimum. By the way, the functions I use are: ① Navigation Setting destinations, displaying current...

“You Can’t Buy a Porsche While Saying ‘Live Within Your Means’”

A Life That Fits Your True Self The other day, a former senior colleague posted that their company president sent them this message for their birthday: “People must grow in a way that matches their age and position.” That’s certainly true. Also, someone once said, “If my daughter said she wanted to become an idol, I would absolutely oppose it. I’d tell her to face reality and live a life that fits her true self.”...

“The Porsche Principle” Sent to New Porsche Owners

Mail from Porsche Japan When I returned home from last weekend’s rapid river trip, something had arrived from the Porsche Customer Care Center. Opening it up, I found: Beneath the words “Welcome To Porsche World,” there was this message: Dear Customer, we hope this message finds you well. Thank you very much for choosing a Porsche vehicle. For over 60 years, Porsche has led the history of sports cars, captivating people in every era. Whether...

Staying at Amakusa’s “Sky Ship” Hotel and Touring the Aso Milk Road

Heading to the “Sky Ship” Hotel in Amakusa This time, we went to Amakusa in Kyushu because I got a stay voucher for the “Sky Ship” hotel there through hometown tax donations. Since the voucher had to be used by the end of the year, we adjusted family work schedules and kindergarten plans to make this trip happen at this time. First, we took the ferry from Osaka Nanko to Shinmoji Port. From there, we...

Ferry from Nanko to Shin-Moji Port – 45,850 Yen One Way with the Panamera

Family Touring Trip to Kyushu Since yesterday, we’ve been heading to Kyushu by ferry. Of course, with the Panamera Turbo in tow. We decided to take the prestigious Taiyo Ferry departing Osaka Nanko at 19:50 and arriving at Shin-Moji Port at 8:30. Because the Panamera’s body length exceeds 5 meters, it falls under the category for passenger cars under 6 meters. With the deluxe (Western-style room) for two adults (though we have two kids, children...

Taking a Step Back from Social Media to Enrich Your Life

Days Without Posting on Social Media Lately, I haven’t posted anything on Facebook at all. I used to update almost every day, but recently I haven’t had anything to share. Of course, many things happen daily, I feel a lot, and I have new challenges planned for next year—I do have announcements I want to make—but somehow, I’ve come to think, “Maybe I don’t really need to post,” and the days just pass by. Before...

Is the Adaptive Cruise Control on the New Panamera Really Convenient?

Is ACC Convenient? Today, I had some errands in Nara Prefecture, so I decided to head out in the Panamera Turbo. Most of the route from my home to Nara is on the highway, but on busy roads like the Hanshin Expressway—where you have to watch out for unmarked police cars, speed cameras, and heavy traffic—the ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) is incredibly handy. So today, I’d like to give a brief introduction to the ACC...

New Porsche Panamera Turbo: Is the City Fuel Economy Really Below 4.0 km/l?

Picking Up from Kindergarten in the Panamera It was raining today. Actually, I’ve recently decided to walk when picking up my daughter from kindergarten, but since it was raining, I took the Panamera instead. As usual, when I went to pick her up, she kept rubbing her eyes saying they hurt, so on the way back, we stopped by a convenience store to buy some snacks and then a pharmacy to get some eye drops...
