Reviews & Test Drives, Porsche Panamera

Yesterday, the Porsche Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo Came Home!

Finally, Delivery Day! The day before yesterday, on Friday, my brother-in-law contacted my husband saying, “Saturday is the delivery day for the Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo. I’m going to pick it up at the dealer, can I stop by your place on the way back?” Oh… it’s finally delivery day…! It came sooner than I expected. So yesterday, from the morning, feeling a bit restless… my husband said, “Since it’s such a nice day, once...

“Porsche 911 Speedster” 70th Anniversary Concept Movie Released!

Finally, the Speedster is here! This morning, as soon as I woke up, my husband suddenly said, “The Speedster is finally out! (ﾟ∀ﾟ)!!” I replied, …S-Speedster…(-_-)?? …Ah, Porsche, of course (lol). When I asked, “The Speedster is already out?? The 1,948-unit limited edition one?” he said, “No, it’s not officially released yet, but the concept movie has been made public. I don’t think Porsche has ever released a movie like this before the Speedster’s launch....

Can Porsche Continue to Excel at “Driving, Cornering, and Stopping”?

I Went for an Interview! The other day, I visited a company in Kyoto that sells, services, and repairs foreign cars. They handle many foreign brands like Porsche, BMW, Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, covering everything from classic cars to the latest models. This time, I interviewed Mr. M, the son of the company’s founder. (The interview content will be published in a future article.) What’s the Car You Want Most? Mr. M is also a former...

Stunning Beauty! My Husband Bought a Sony Digital Mirrorless Camera “α7 III”

My Husband Got a New Digital Mirrorless Camera A little while ago, my husband started considering buying a new digital mirrorless camera specifically for car photography. Until then, he had been using a Nikon D5200 with two lenses: a 50mm prime and a 10-20mm wide-angle zoom. While the D5200 took beautiful photos, he was a bit dissatisfied with the detail rendering and autofocus performance, often saying things like “The Boxster’s rear doesn’t look this bulky,”...

What Only a Personal Blogger, Not a Motor Journalist, Can Write

*The top image is just a photo of a Panamera I happened to take today at Gusto, and it has nothing to do with the article content lol Don’t you write about anything other than Porsche? The other day, when I showed my blog to an acquaintance, they asked me, “Don’t you write about cars other than Porsche?” That question made me think again, but for now, I have no intention of writing about anything...

Heading to Change the Panamera’s Oil Last weekend, I went to get the Panamera’s oil changed. This was the second oil change since the Panamera was delivered. The first was about two weeks after delivery, at around 1,500 km. パナメーラターボの初回オイル交換 ー かかった金額は47,558円だった Then, six months later at the end of March, when the mileage was 6,500 km, we topped up the oil once.

Visited the Porsche 70th Anniversary Fair! Inside the showroom and novelty goods.

Porsche 70th Anniversary Fair Yesterday, I went to the “Porsche 70th Anniversary Fair” held at the Porsche Center. It was also a good chance to get an oil change before heading to Fuji Speedway on June 16th and 17th. (I plan to write a separate article later about the oil change cost and details.) And honestly, I also wanted the novelty luncheon mat (lol). *Source: Porsche 70th Anniversary page I was planning to go alone...

Our Daily Conversations as a Car-Loving Couple Are a Bit Crazy, After All

About My Husband’s and My Personality Suddenly, but… I’m the type who thinks “It’s fine as long as I roughly understand things.” I’m satisfied with about 60% understanding, and since I get bored easily, I tend to go wide and shallow on everything. Also, when I buy electronics, I almost never read the manuals. Reading thick manuals is just too much hassle (plus, I’m not great with printed text to begin with), and I figure...

Took Photos of the Porsche Panamera in Kobe!

Whether to Leave the Kids at Daycare When my eldest daughter was born, I was desperate to get her into daycare as soon as possible. As a first-time parent, I had no breathing room and couldn’t handle being with her all day, so I started daycare when she was just six months old. On the other hand, with my second daughter, I’m completely under the spell of the “second child magic”… she’s so adorable that...
