Driving the Boxster with the Top Down on a Sunny Break in the Rainy Season

The Boxster After a Long Time This rainy season feels like it’s been wetter than last year. The other day, while driving, I noticed lots of hydrangeas blooming beautifully along the riverside park near my home. It would be lovely to take a photo of my car with the hydrangeas. This year’s rainy season isn’t just constant rain every day—there are plenty of sunny breaks in between, so the other day, I decided to take...

Test Drive of the Porsche Cayenne Coupe (Part 2)|How Does the Engine and Driving Feel?

Recently, I published the first part of my test drive report on the Cayenne Coupe, and now, at last, I’d like to share my husband’s impressions (Part 2) that you’ve been waiting for. On a rare sunny break during the rainy season, we were fortunate to have the chance to test drive the new Cayenne Coupe. The grade was the S model, officially named the “Cayenne S Coupe.” Compared to the standard Cayenne, which is...

What I Learned About the Porsche 911 GT3’s Charms After One Year of Ownership

Once Again, the Porsche 911 GT3 Lately, I’ve been driving the GT3 about once a month, and each time I get behind the wheel, I’m struck by the feeling of “Yes, this is it!” and a fresh wave of amazement thinking, “So this is another side of its charm!” It really makes me realize how profoundly deep Porsche is as a brand, and how truly special the GT3 is as a car. The other day,...

I Asked My Husband, Who Bought a Porsche and Gained More Free Time, His Secret

Work One-Third the Time, Earn Three Times as Much Currently, I spend my days quietly running the company I started in my twenties while writing this Porsche blog. When I say I “started a company in my twenties” or “chose a life outside of traditional organizations,” people often ask, “Did your parents run a business or company too?” but that’s absolutely not the case. I grew up in a typical family with a salaried father...

Test Drive of the Porsche Cayenne Coupe (Part 1)|How’s the Ride and Usability?

Porsche Cayenne Coupe The other day, I had the chance to test drive the Cayenne Coupe. Now that June has arrived and the kids have started elementary school and kindergarten, I finally have some free time in the mornings. So my husband and I took that opportunity to go for a drive together. I wonder how many years it’s been since just the two of us went for a test drive… Usually, with the kids...

Quick on the Draw! Porsche Japan!

Movements at Porsche Japan My husband has often said things like this about Porsche Japan. Porsche Japan is always so slow to act, isn’t it? Even though new models are announced and prices revealed in the home country, the Japanese site takes forever to publish prices or update the configurator… Announcements made on Porsche’s official Twitter often don’t show up quickly on Porsche Japan’s Twitter… Meanwhile, Porsche’s US site updates instantly… With all this, I...

Buying a Porsche with My Own Money

Goals and the Subconscious Mind One time, my husband said something like this to me. Simply thinking “I want to be rich” or “I want to earn more” isn’t really good. Because the more you think “I want to be rich” or “I want to earn more,” the more your subconscious mind gets imprinted with the opposite—“I don’t have money now, I’m not earning now.” That’s why things don’t go well. Instead, it’s better to...

What Makes the Difference Between Men Who Keep One Car for a Long Time and Those Who Chan...

The Relationship Between Cars and Women In this world, there are people who stick with one car for a long time and those who quickly replace their cars within a short span. Often, this is likened to women, with sayings like “men who keep one car for a long time are faithful to women” or conversely, “men who frequently change cars are unfaithful.” Certainly, there seems to be some truth to this, and I’ve touched...

Why Porsche Wheels Look Perfect with Fuchs-Style Designs

Porsche Targa Wheels The other day, the Porsche Targa Heritage Design Edition was announced, and looking at the images, it looked incredibly cool. When I first saw the design of the 992 model, I honestly thought, “Something about the rear feels off…” but over time I got used to it. As for the Targa, the blend of the classic “Targa feel” with a fresh new look is very refined and beautiful. Looking at the photos...
