Finally, Delivery Day: The Porsche 911 GT3 Has Arrived at the Dealer

GT3 Touring Arrives at the Porsche Center Last December, my husband quickly decided on the specs and ordered a Porsche 911 (991.2) GT3 Touring. 夫が 911 GT3 ツーリングパッケージ（羽なし）を注文してきた。 To fully understand this GT3, he ordered magazines about the late 991 model and thoroughly read reviews of the GT3 Touring, always saying, “I’m ready whenever it gets delivered!” Then, just recently, we got the news that it had arrived at our nearest dealer, and our contact,...

Porsche Panamera 10th Anniversary – A Look Back at the Development History of the Panamera

Panamera 10th Anniversary Yesterday, an article was published on the “Porsche newsroom” titled “10 years of the Porsche Panamera: sports car, luxury saloon, hybrid pioneer.” Wow… the Panamera was first launched in April 2009, so this year marks its 10th anniversary.

How to Care for Your Convertible Top – Washing the Boxster’s Soft Top

Caring for the Boxster’s Soft Top The other day, my husband washed the Boxster’s soft top for the second time since we took delivery in November 2015. He’s always been the type to hand-wash our cars himself (apparently, he’s a “man who polishes his car also polishes himself” according to this blog, lol), but when it comes to the soft top, the owner’s manual clearly states, “It is not necessary to wash the convertible top...

Becoming a Cool Woman Who Masters Driving a Porsche MT with Style

A Change of Heart Triggered by Royu The other day, after participating in the “Sunday Morning Gathering at Royu Driveway”, I experienced a big shift in my mindset. The “me who had absolutely no interest in cars until a few years ago” and the “me who chose an automatic-only license without hesitation 19 years ago at driving school” — I never imagined a day like this would come… and I’m the most surprised of all....
