Fitting a Custom Seat Cover to My Porsche 911 (964)

Complaints About the Porsche 911 (964) Recently, I replaced both front and rear tires with new ones, and the air-cooled Porsche 964 has been running perfectly, so I’ve been driving it a lot. However, there was one long-standing issue I wasn’t happy with. That was the seat shape not fitting my body. The 964 Carrera 2 comes with two types of factory seats: standard and sport seats. Mine is the standard seat. These seats are...

Nine Months Since Swift Sport Delivery: Why I Prefer Driving My Swift Over My Husband’s P...

Nine Months Since Swift Sport Delivery My beloved car, the Swift Sport, was delivered in October 2021. Time flies—it’s already been nine months. Since then, the only modifications I’ve made are installing lowering springs and replacing the interior lights with LEDs. I’ve been driving the Swift almost daily over these nine months, but since most trips are just to the local supermarket or kindergarten, the mileage hasn’t grown much. So far, it’s about 4,000 km....

How a Porsche Driver Feels Driving the Ferrari F8 Spider

A Unique and Unrivaled Presence: Ferrari My younger brother, who has appeared regularly on this blog before, recently bought a Ferrari F8 Spider, so I had the chance to drive it. After riding a Ferrari again for the first time in a while, I want to share my honest impressions comparing it to Porsche and other cars. Ferrari as a brand dislikes being compared to other cars in the media. For example, on shows like...

How to Drive a Porsche 911 (964) Tiptronic

964 Tiptronic Recently, the prices of used 964 models have been rising relentlessly. Just recently, it became a hot topic that even the 964 Tiptronic (Tip) surpassed 10 million yen, but there are now examples exceeding 17 million yen. This situation is, of course, partly due to the popularity of the 964, but another factor is the recent weak yen, which has made Japanese used cars relatively affordable from a global perspective. That said, the...

New 911 GT3 Touring (992) A little while ago, I had the chance to drive the new 911 GT3 Touring Package (992/PDK). My husband also drove it that day and wrote a test drive article, so here I want to share my own honest impressions from behind the wheel. Until then, I had only seen the new GT3 in photos and videos, but seeing it in person for the first time that day, my excitement...

Test Drive of the Mercedes-Benz E200 Coupe: Differences from the S Coupe and BMW Coupes

[TOC] Luxury Coupe When I think of the E-Class coupe, I recall the 1993 movie “The Firm” where Tom Cruise’s character drove a 300CE. Although it was a cabriolet, it was a luxury coupe from Mercedes’ mid-size class (W124 generation) at the time, and I remember having a strong admiration for it during my student days. Since then, I have driven Honda’s Legend Coupe (KA8), and more recently, the R129 SL500 and AMG S63. I...

Impressions of Top Gun Maverick: Why My Husband Went to See It Multiple Times

Top Gun Maverick The other day, I went to the movie theater to watch Top Gun Maverick. It’s the sequel to the original Top Gun released 36 years ago, starring none other than Tom Cruise. My husband told me that the original Top Gun featured a Porsche 356 and Kawasaki motorcycles, and including its storyline and world view, it completely captured the hearts of young people at the time. The eagerly awaited sequel, Top Gun...

Parents Are Porsche and Mercedes 500E Are you familiar with the Mercedes W124 E-Class model called the 500E (later known as the E500)? This W124 E-Class, the ancestor of today’s E-Class, originally came in versions like the 230E and 300E, but the 500E was created specifically to house the V8 engine from the then top-tier Mercedes sports car, the SL500. The development of the 500E was handled by Porsche’s Weissach engineering center, and part of...

Shikoku & Kyushu Touring in a Porsche 911 (992) Part 6 (Final)

From Miyazaki to Takachiho Having finally reached Miyazaki on this tour, it was time to head home, but first, I decided to take a little sightseeing drive around the Miyazaki area. However, it was pouring rain from the morning. The Cabriolet’s soft top was soaked beyond what its water-repellent treatment could handle. Opening the door quickly to avoid getting wet, I jumped in and started the engine. Leaving Miyazaki city, I sped along K355 and...
