I went for a drive in a Porsche Boxster with my brother who is a MT driver.

Boxster and 911 replacement

The other day, my brother and his family came to visit us. It has been about three years since my brother and his family visited our house. Since they came all the way from JapanMy husband, my brother and my brother's child in a 911 in Ashiu Driveway.I had to go.

So I had to swap the Boxster GTS (981) in the parking lot of our house for the 911 Cabriolet (992) parked in front of the train station, because my husband

Why don't you show your brother that you can now drive a manual transmission? He'll probably be very surprised!

So my brother and I decided to go and replace the car.

Porsche Boxster GTS

I've never been interested in cars at all since I was a kid.My brother is quite the car enthusiast.It is. I've been driving a Subaru Legacy MT car ever since I started working.(I drive an AT car now)When I was at my parents' house, I always washed or tinkered with my car in front of the house on weekends.

I wasn't interested in cars at all at the time, so I said, "I love working in the hot sun on such a hot day.I never asked my brother about the car at all at the time because I only thought "I'm not a car guy".(I would have asked a lot of questions now...)

Time passed from there, and my brother was quite surprised when I, who had been a paper driver for more than 10 years since I got my license, launched this Porsche blog, and in addition, he rolled his eyes and was surprised that I had lifted the AT limit and started driving a MT car.

Driving a Boxster for my brother

To swap cars, I had to drive the Boxster first, but "I was not going to be the one to drive the Boxster."It's strange because I've never seen you drive a car before, and you can drive a car just fine.I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do," his brother said.

However, I'm not sure if it was the MT rider's blood that got the better of me.

Why do you shift up so quickly? Why do you have to shift to 4th gear at a place like this... I think 2nd gear is fine, it's a manual transmission after all.

I said something like, "Well, it's true..." and decided to switch driving on the way.

My brother has been driving an AT for about three years now, so he said, "I might forget how it feels and not be able to drive a MT car anymore. What if it goes bang-bang-bang...He said, "I was able to get a feel for the clutch, shifting, etc., within just a few minutes of starting to drive.

It also blipped itself in normal mode, and smoothly, without having to press the Sport Plus button to turn on auto-blipping.

I'm the one who said, "Wow, even though it's been a while, it still doesn't stall!I say."

I've been driving a manual transmission for more than 10 years. The clutch of my first Legacy was much heavier, and of course there was no auto hold function on hills.

He said.

Since it was a holiday, there was a lot of traffic and the road was quite crowded, but my brother still enjoyed driving the MT for the first time in a long time. And the Boxster, too.As if I was always more happy and lively to be ridden by someone who is a good MT driver.It was felt.

I love it. In my case, you've been closed-minded for three years, but you're opening up to my brother in a matter of minutes (laughs).

When I was still at home, my brother and I did not get along very well. ...Or rather, we were neither close nor close at all...Perhaps it was because we were siblings of the opposite sex, but after puberty, we didn't have much to talk about.Daily conversation is limited to "good morning" and "welcome home.There was only one.

Even after I entered the workforce, I had my brother pick me up from the station by car on many occasions, but he was silent in the car from start to finish until we arrived home.(I'm not exaggerating, he really didn't say a word.)

So, here we are now.I never thought that the day would come when we would go for a drive together and have many conversations in the car.At the time, I had never imagined it. When I go home again, my husband, brother, and I often talk about cars, and when my parents see this, they say, "It's a very strange sight to think that one day we will talk about cars as siblings" (laughs).

I think it may be thanks to the Porsche's arrival at our home that I am able to be like this, and I am grateful to my husband for giving me this opportunity. Thank you.

I hope that one day my brother will be able to drive the Porsche I bought him. Let's go for it!

    Hello~ (^. ^)
    Great story--I'm glad we got to know each other!
    But your brother must have been very surprised.
    He's driving a manual Porsche, and he's dashing around in it!
    Someday, please put him in the passenger seat of your own 930 or so and blast him to bits!

      Thank you very much!
      My brother was really surprised (laughs).
      However, I think my brother had a lot of advice to give me, as he still relies heavily on the performance of the car (laughs).

      >Please put him in the passenger seat around your 930 sometime and blast him with a bang!
      Oh no that's too cool! I need to brush up on my skills: !!!!
