Don’t Take Your Parents or Porsche for Granted | Parenting, Car Life, and Future Resolve

Parenting and Car Life When it was just the two of us as a married couple, and then after our children were born, there were far more changes than I had imagined in many aspects. How we spend our time daily, our lifestyle, priorities, interests… before our second daughter was born, I was such a workaholic, living centered on myself, but now I live a life centered around my children—I never imagined this back then....

I Prefer the Cayenne Over the Porsche 911 | Thoughts from Owning Both

Driving to Fuji Speedway in the Cayenne The other day, I wrote an article about my husband participating in a track day hosted by the magazine “911DAYS” and driving the 992 in wet mode. As for me, I followed along in the Cayenne E-Hybrid, driving nearly 1,000 km round trip from home to Fuji Speedway (including transfers to the hotel, etc.). Most of the journey was on the highway, but it was my first time...

Porsche 911 @ Fuji Speedway The other day, a circuit driving event hosted by the magazine “911DAYS” was held at Fuji Speedway, and my husband participated in his 911 Cabriolet (992 model). When he signed up for the event, he said, Which car should I take to the next event…? I’ve never driven a GT3 at Fuji Speedway, so maybe I’ll go with the GT3… However, since I, the “Rainstorm, Typhoon, Fog, and Snow Woman”,...

How a Porsche Owner Buys Cars | Why I, His Wife, Never Oppose His Purchases

A Day in the Life of My Porsche-Loving Husband My husband spends almost every day browsing used car sites. Lately, he’s been saying he wants a Mercedes-Benz SL400 and checking if any good ones come up. But the Grand Edition he wants is rare and still expensive, so he says things like, “Even if I buy it, it’ll be a long way off yet.” He also has many cars he’s interested in but not planning...

The Unique Joys of Each Porsche Model

A Long-Awaited Drive in the Air-Cooled Porsche 911 (964) About two and a half years ago, my husband bought an air-cooled Porsche 911 (964 C2) with around 50,000 km on the clock, and now it’s about to surpass 70,000 km. Wow, that’s quite a distance. Over these two years, my husband has performed multiple maintenance sessions on the 964 and replaced some interior parts, bringing it to a really great condition. Every time he drives...

Test Driving the Porsche 911 GT3 | How Different Are MT and PDK!

Test Driving the Porsche 911 GT3 PDK Recently, my husband had the chance to test drive a Porsche 911 GT3 (991 late model) with PDK, owned by an acquaintance. That owner kindly said, “Why don’t you try driving it too, ma’am?” So I took them up on the offer and drove it the other day. When I got behind the wheel, I was surprised at how different the impression was compared to our own 991...

Is the Rear Axle Steering Option Essential for Porsche Panamera and Cayenne?

Porsche’s Rear Axle Steering The other day, I received this question on the blog. I’m currently waiting for delivery of a Cayenne Coupe GTS, but I’m curious about the rear axle steering option. I understand it makes handling easier and parking simpler, and also improves handling and stability at high speeds. However, since it’s an expensive option, I’d like a review on whether it’s essential for the increasingly larger Cayenne and Panamera models. That was...

My husband had the rare opportunity to test drive a Porsche 356 and wrote a report about it. Please take a look if you’re interested.

Next Week, Driving the Porsche 911 at Fuji Speedway!

Fuji Speedway Two Years Ago Two years ago, my husband participated for the first time in a track day hosted by 911DAYS at Fuji Speedway. Our family went along, and I got to watch him drive up close. However, there was an unexpected heavy snowfall starting the day before, which made things quite challenging, haha. I’m known as a rain and storm magnet, but to have snow fall so late, just before April, was surprising…...
