Porsche Panamera Options – Not Related to Driving but Very Convenient

Rewriting Past Articles About a week ago, I finally got around to rewriting past articles (usually rewriting means someone else’s article is rephrased without changing the content, but in this case, I’m revising articles I wrote myself in the past). This blog has some popular articles with lots of traffic, but past articles are also frequently read every day. However, especially the articles from when I first started the blog were nowhere near presentable… Originally,...

If My Husband Had to Choose Just One Porsche Today: 911 (964C2), Panamera, or Boxster

A Slightly Unusual Couple My husband and I aren’t very interested in the usual things like food, clothing, or housing. Our family of four rarely eats out (about twice a month), and when we do, it’s usually at places like Gusto or conveyor belt sushi. As for clothes, both my husband and I are firmly in the “Uniclo is more than enough” camp, and my husband even wears his clothes until they fall apart. We...

Is It True That the Porsche Panamera’s PDK Has Slightly Delayed Shift Response?

Porsche Panamera Among Porsche models, I like the Panamera the best. Whenever I drive a Boxster or 911, or test drive a Cayenne or Cayman (unfortunately, I’ve only ever ridden in the back seat of a Macan and haven’t test driven one yet), I’m always impressed, thinking, “What an amazing car!” But in the end, I always come back to thinking, “After all, the Panamera is the one I really want.” Lately, having gotten a...

How Porsche Improved Our Marriage and Enriched Our Lives

Always Enjoying… The most common comment I receive on this blog is “I always enjoy reading your posts.” No matter what the comment is, I’m always grateful to receive it, but what makes me happiest is when someone says “enjoyable.” That’s because, what I value most in running this blog is “making it a fun blog to read.” The power of “fun” is incredible—when a space is enjoyable, more and more people gather there. As...

Meeting Air-Cooled Porsche Owners at Royu Driveway

Encounter with 911 (Air-Cooled) Owners One day before noon on a recent day off, my husband casually said, “I’m going for a drive to Royu in the air-cooled Porsche” and headed out. As usual, when he arrived at the Higashi Rokko Observatory on the Royu Driveway, he noticed several air-cooled Porsches parked side by side in the lot. Thinking, “Is this some kind of air-cooled enthusiasts’ gathering…?” he parked his car a little apart and...

The Problem Porsche and Luxury Car Owners Face: Not Being Able to Tell Others They Own One

Is Porsche Just a Rich Person’s Hobby? The other day, my husband told me about a Porsche-owning doctor he once met who said this: “Once, when I drove my Mercedes-Benz to my clinic, a patient said to me, ‘You must be making good money,’ and a staff member said, ‘Oh, your car is a Benz, isn’t it?’ which made the atmosphere awkward… Since then, I stopped driving it to the clinic. Even though the model...

Test Driving the Porsche 718 Cayman – What’s Changed from the 981?

Finally, a Chance to Drive the 718 Cayman The other day, I went to our local Porsche Center, where we always get great service, to have the speakers in our air-cooled 911 replaced. And to my surprise, they lent me a 718 Cayman as a loaner car! That morning, after dropping off my daughters at their respective daycare centers, I headed to the Porsche Center. Upon entering the showroom, right in front of me was...
