Here we go again with the comments we received on the blog (from Porsche owners and those waiting for delivery of their cars)!

My Family's Car Life

Frequency of blog updates

Thank you for reading my blog. It's not a big deal, but I have an announcement to make today. From now on"I'm going to slow down the pace of blog updates a little bit."I decided to do it. In fact, last weekend, I was so tired that my daughter caught a cold and came down with it for the first time in several years.(Now fully recovered, thanks to you)

About 5 years ago, I had a down time due to fatigue, but I was aware that I was pushing myself too hard at that time.I'm sure you're right."I reflected on this, but this time I was not aware that I was overworked at all. If anything, a little sleep deprivation was nothing to worry about, and I had been very energetic lately.I don't know why I went down like this.I was just talking to my husband about it.

Mina, you have always been too rooted to the core. I think you should be more flexible in your life. Today you skip work, today you work hard, today you go to bed... It's important to have a range and balance in your life.

I was told.... When I think about it, I was probably overworked because I had to take care of my children, take them to and from preschool, do housework, work, and update my blog every weekday and on weekends.

I love writing this blog, and the comments I get from you guys make me so happy, that I still get overflowing with things I want to write about.I want to write that! I want to write this! Oh, if I had more time, I'd blog all the time!"I will continue to update my blog with less frequency from now on, since I am 36 years old, which is old enough to be an arafaho.(That said, I think I give you 3 or 4 articles a week.)

This blog is set up so that articles are uploaded between 6:00 and 7:00 a.m., so if an article is not updated after that timeI'd be happy if you could take a look at the past articles, etc., because "I guess there are no new articles today..."It is.(For what it's worth, we have about 400 articles.)

Also, from reading the comments, it seems that many of your readers' wives are also hard-working and manly, so please keep them by your side so they don't get down with too much rooting around like I did (laughs).

Here are some of the comments we received

So today I would like to share some of the comments I received from readers. Previously.I once introduced a comment from a readerThe response was quite positive. In fact, the blog comments are very informative, as they contain many valuable first-hand comments from Porsche owners, but since I don't think our readers usually read the comments section, I decided to introduce them here.(Some comments have been edited to show the context before and after. Also, apologies for not being able to post all comments)

[Porsche tire gurgling at low speeds is not a defect.
I am a resident of Kyushu, Japan, who suddenly developed Porsche disease (lol) 2 years ago. I have a history of cars with no practical use, from air-cooled 964 to Cayman GT4 to 718 Boxster GTS to 991 GTS waiting for delivery, but I am satisfied with my air-cooled 964 as long as it works, so I don't mind the defects (appropriate).Both the GT4 and Boxster make a crackling sound (lol).
Incidentally, the same was true of Alfa Romeo's Giulia Quadrifoglio.Medal of Honor for Sports CarsIs it? (Mr. Rumba)

[about inner garage isi B. to cara.
Porsche Owner's FileI was interested in and commented on cara's inner garage in the article on I wasI'm in the process of building a garage and am considering what to do about flooring and lighting.It is. I would like to use tile as the flooring material like in the showroom, but I feel that the good looks of tile would be wasted if I do not clean tire marks and dirt/mud stains frequently in daily use, so I am thinking of using concrete on the assumption that it will get dirty to some extent. From the photos, it looks like cara's tile floors are very well maintained, but do they still need to be cleaned frequently? I would also like to know if there are any other aspects of the flooring material selection that you were particular about, or if there are any areas that you wish you had done differently after the completion of the project. (Mr. Ishi B.)

[cara to Ishi B. about inner garage].
The size of the tiles in our inner garage are 30cm square. At first I thought about painting over the concrete used in showrooms and dealership maintenance areas, but I have beenOlder cars, especially Italian cars, leaked oil and all sorts of things quite often, so we looked for materials that wouldn't soak it up.Translation.
The drawback of large format tiles is cracking. Garages are never perfectly flat, and the larger the surface, the more likely it is to crack with daily use.
In the end, we looked for a non-slip tile that would be easy to create a gently sloping surface and also have a good grip there.
The beauty of tile is that it is not easily scraped like concrete.It is. There are no fine sandy concrete shavings in the garage at all, and the garage is rarely cleaned. Occasionally a special vacuum cleaner here to get rid of a lot of dead leaves and other things that are mixed in with the car.(It's an ordinary house vacuum cleaner.)I even clean them with a "clean" but only once every 4-6 months at most. There is also the occasional stone gravel that comes with the tires, but it doesn't bother me at all. (cara)

[about the air-cooled 911 964]
I see that your husband chose a 964C2. I can see from the shape of the mirrors that it is a 1992 or later model. I used to own a 964.I often see stories on the Internet about air conditioners not working, but as long as there are no gas leaks, they work quite well.If, like your husband, you are going to thoroughly restore your car before purchasing it, even used, I think you need not worry about the air conditioner, as it will be covered under that category. (^^) (shinomiyajp)

[The shock of going from a Porsche to a mini car substitute.
I am currently driving a 991, but when I took it in for protection film installation, the loaner car was a Nissan Dayz. At first, I had never driven a mini-size car before, and like Mina, I thought it would be fun to drive a car that is the complete opposite of what I drive everyday! I was really scared of turning right at intersections and merging onto highways because the car did not accelerate and the brakes were not very effective.
I didn't have the courage to drive in the passing lane on the highway, so I drove slowly in the driving lane, but I still got agitated from behind.Every time a Mercedes Benz or BMW drove by me in the passing lane at high speed, I felt a tremendous wind pressure and felt like a rat or hamster thrown into a pack of wild beasts.Crying Honestly, it was an experience to experience firsthand the caste system at high speeds, and I decided to be careful about my driving manners, even in a Porsche. a week later, I picked up my 991 and switched to it, and I thought, "Was the steering wheel and brakes this heavy? " Needless to say, I was reminded of how great the 991 is. (Masayan)

The man who polishes his car also polishes himself.
Your husband loves to wash the car...I wash my car by hand in hot summer and cold winter whenever I have time! I don't do it in midwinter when it's below freezing because the water freezes before it blows up, but if the weather is nice and the car is dirty, I go home and wash it during my lunch break from work.(It's close to work.)As a test, I counted the number of times I washed my car since January of this year, and at the end of October, it had been washed a total of 74 times.It is.(Of course, not one, but several.)At this rate, I don't think we'll reach 100 times a year... (Ingenieur)

Boxster GTSMT starting on a slope.
I read an article about a Boxster GTS that failed to start up a hill.If the hill hold is not automatically activated, just apply the parking brake manually.I think so(I'm sure the Master has already told you this.)If you put the car in first gear and operate the car normally with a half clutch, the parking brake should release automatically. You can operate the car slowly without worrying about backing off. I have not checked this with a 981, but if it has hill hold, it is probably the same. (PorscheDreamer)

[Regarding my impressions of the Panamera].
Today, for the first time in many years, I met a senior colleague whom I have known for more than 20 years. This senior is a considerable car enthusiast.(Japan's largest automobile manufacturer)He has been working with us for almost 30 years, so he knows more about technology than most of the critics out there. So I asked him what he thought of the Panamera, and he said that he couldn't wait for the delivery date.(I'm super impatient to begin with.)They bought a new base model car from the dealership.The 4S or the turbo might be good, but the base model is slow. And it's huge! I knew the body size, but for a while it was like driving a tank.He said.(This is just my personal impression of the bomb).But, it was not a good idea to buy it this time without waiting for the delivery date. I am still thinking of buying a 911. But I can't go golfing with a 911. I might buy a turbo Panamera after all.And the bombing that you said you liked. (How do you support your life, Mr.)

[Wife buying Cayenne on her own].
somehowThis articleis very convincing. I agree. I bought a Cayenne as a gift for my wife, who has been taking care of our young children with no help from work or career... Momoe Yamaguchi Playback
My wife, who is a true believer in "Don't be stupid, it's your fault," would be so delighted if I presented her with a Cayenne that she would be able to say, "I'm not stupid, it's your fault.Don't be ridiculous!" or was it, "I'll buy it myself," he declared.I had been working very slowly for most of my life, but I suddenly started working very hard. The month after I purchased the Cayenne, my income increased tenfold, and in less than a year, I had paid for the Cayenne.
I wonder if Porsche makes women strong and cool. Maybe the car that strong and cool women want is a Porsche.
However, after reading this blog, I thought I might accept money from my wife to purchase a Porsche to support "cool women". (Buppa)

Boxster MT autoblipping.
In the 718 catalog, on p. 47, it says, "Combined with the optional Sport Chrono Package, the Sport Chrono Package is available as an option.(GTS models are standard equipment)When the driver selects Sport or Sport Plus mode, the dynamically controlled blipping function is activated. This feature provides optimum engine speed, a more emotional ride, and a great sound on every downshift." So, at least for the 718, I think the auto-flipping works in Sport mode.As for 981, automatic blipping in Boxster at Mina's place is only for Sport Plus.So, in conjunction with Ishi B's memory, we can probably confirm thatAutoblipping activated in Sport mode from 718.I think it is safe to assume that it has changed.

[Rear 2+1 seat option for Panamera
I bought a Panamera 4E-hybrid in the US and added the 2+1 option for the rear seats ~ a little over $1000, a must have option in our family of 5! (SN)

[Panamera rear 2+1 seat option mn1551mn to SN
Yes, it is a 2018 4E-hybrid, and if I had that option, I definitely would have. This will be my third Panamera.My wife and two kids are my default, and I'd love to take one more on board! There are quite a few occasions whenI have been disappointed many times. I wonder if they can accommodate us with a retrofit........ (mn1551mn)

[Tomoyoshi Miura's Porsche 964
When Tomoyoshi Miura was in Kobe, he parked this air-cooled 964 in front of me at an open cafe in Kobe Daimaru and played card games with his friends. The cityscape, Kazu, and the car were very picturesque. He is indeed a star. Porsche is so cool. I think the first time I saw a Porsche was in this car, Kazu's!
They just delivered a Panamera to my house!Very easy to drive, and unlike the 911, I'm not that good of a driver! Great!(Gori)

The watch that goes with the Porsche.
It's IWC after all!I'm just a Porsche guy, but my watch is an IWC Pilot Watch Mark 16 Japan Limited! I'm a very sweaty person, so I don't have much choice when it comes to stainless steel bands. I really want a Porte Keyser Yacht Club or something with a leather band, but I've given up (sadly). They have collaborated with AMG on the Ingenieur (anti-magnetic type) from the past, and recently they collaborated with AMG on the 150th anniversary model. (Mr. Wind Slope)

Your Porsche love

Whenever I read your comments, your love for Porsche is so great that my husband often says, "There is always someone better than you. I would be very happy if you could comment again.

    I always enjoy reading your articles.
    Thank you very much.
    I am on 991-1.
    I would like to ask, do you know any good countermeasures against door-punching?
    I would be happy to share it with you.
    I look forward to more updates.

      Thank you for visiting my blog!
      I see that you are driving a 991-1..........................wonderful!

      >I would like to ask, do you know any good countermeasures against door-punching?
      >I would be happy to share.

      I see...door punching...it would be a shock if they did...
      In our house, with the Panamera, we often park it in a wide parking lot or in a place where there are no cars around.
      It's not so easy to do so in the city center...

      It seems like a good idea to ask our readers how this is being addressed, so
      I will write an article about it in the near future.

      Thank you very much!

    Good morning.

    Are you feeling well?

    I read Mina's blog every morning in bed and then go downstairs. lol

    Good luck slowing down so you can keep going all the way!

    And your husband is such a sweetheart!

    The Panamera was recently delivered to me, and I used this blog as a reference to find a newer model with axle control? I forgot the name, but I looked for an option to make it easier to back up and put it on.
    It was used, this was hard to find, and when I found it, it was a snap!
    Thanks to this blog, I got a Panamera I'm happy with!
    Thank you.

    However, I am really curious about the GTS 5-seater.

    We also have two kids, so we bought a Panamera after much deliberation and hesitation with the Cayenne, so if we had a GTS, we would have...

    We have a Mercedes Benz C-Class in the same position as Mina's golf car. It is a very good car.

    So, I look forward to seeing you again in the future.

    I hope your health improves soon.

    • Mina.Mina.

      Gori.
      Thank you for everything!
      I am feeling much better thanks to your help. Thank you!
      (I slept like crazy for the first time in a long time and that helped me recover a lot lol)

      >Mina, I read your blog every morning in bed and then go downstairs. lol
      Oh, thank you for saying so!
      In fact, access to this blog surges in the morning hours, so my husband and I were talking about how it must be like reading the morning paper (laughs).
      I will be blogging less frequently, but will probably update 3-4 times a week, so I hope you can keep up with me.
      (Indeed, I am so thankful for my husband...)

      >The Panamera was recently delivered to me, and I used this blog as a reference to find a newer model with axle control? I forgot the name, but I looked for an option to make it easier to back up and put it on.
      >Since it was used, this one was hard to find and when I found it, it was a snap!
      >Thanks to this blog, I just bought a Panamera I'm happy with!
      Oh! Really! Rear axle steering, yes! (I always thought it was the rear axle, but it was the rear axle)
      I am glad to hear you say so.

      But sure, I'm curious about the 5-passenger GTS... or rather, when that option is available overseas.
      I wonder why there has been no such thing in Japan until now^^ (even though the demand seems to be quite high).

      Thanks to your help, my health has recovered, and I will continue at my own pace from now on.
      Keep up the good work!

    Hello‼️
    Take care of yourself.
    I'm not in a position to say.
    In Mina's current environment.
    I think it is quite difficult.
    My wife is also working and raising three children.
    They are doing a great job, so...
    I think I understand.

    I would very much like to see you and your husband together.
    It is a pity that it is not easy to find the time.
    Looking forward to it!

    Central this month, full Suzuka course next month.
    Scheduled to.

      Thank you!

      >My wife is also working and raising three children.
      >Since you've been working so hard on this.
      >I think I understand.

      What? ! Your wife is a doctor!
      Raising three children and being a doctor... it's unimaginable...
      I am sure the couple is raising their child wonderfully in cooperation with each other...

      I'd love to hear more about that when we meet!
      I hope cara will settle down and we can meet in Ashiari in the spring time...!
      I'd be happy to make it happen!

      >Central this month, full Suzuka course next month.
      >Scheduled.
      Oh!!! I'm so jealous! With GT3! I'm looking forward to seeing your Twitter posts!
