How did you feel after driving the Porsche Boxster for the first time in a long time?

Porsche Boxster

Boxster among the cherry blossoms.

This past weekday.I decided to take the Boxster for a ride along the Ashiu Driveway.Normally, we would go to a nearby park to view cherry blossoms at this time of year, but since that is not possible right now, we thought we could at least view the blossoms from the car.

Come to think of it, this time last year I still couldn't drive a manual Boxster well enough to go on a cherry blossom viewing drive. So.For the first time this year, you can drive a Boxster through the cherry blossoms.This is why.

Perhaps because it was a weekday and in these times of the year, there was not much traffic heading toward Rokko from my house. When I actually went to Ashiyu Driveway, I found that the best time to see the cherry blossoms was still some time away, but it was still nice to be able to drive in the open amid the cherry blossoms.

It took me about three years to be able to drive a manual car, but now I am glad that I was able to do so. Of course, AT cars are good too, butBeing able to drive a manual transmission vehicle will greatly expand the range of vehicles that can be driven.

At my age, I have fewer opportunities to try new things than I did when I was younger, but I still think, "I'd like to try something new.You'll be able to do what you can't do.I feel that the excitement of trying something "new" or something you have never done before is important at any age.

I hope I can continue to walk with curiosity, even as I grow older, forever.

Now, a state of emergency has been declared in Hyogo Prefecture, where we live, and the situation is changing daily, increasing the sense of urgency. At my daughter's elementary school, the entrance ceremony was held briefly outdoors on the playground, and the school was closed until May. The kindergarten that my second daughter is scheduled to go to has also postponed its entrance ceremony and is closed until May.

With so many things being restricted and refrained from, especially now that I am pregnant, I don't even go to the supermarket, let alone the crowds, and order everything from the online supermarket..."I wonder when I will be able to return to my normal life.I know you think, "I'm sorry," but now is the time for all of us to do our best to endure.

Despite the mood of self-restraint, the government has announced that outdoor exercise is allowed, and I have recently been reminded that in times like these, it is important to get in the car alone, drive around the neighborhood for a bit, and refresh oneself.(Not an exercise, but...)

So, I made a video of the Ashiyu Driveway at that time. I shot the video using only a GoPro without a separate microphone, so the engine noise is disappointing, but I would be happy if you could watch it.(Next time I'll put the microphone on properly!)

      Thank you for watching our video!
      Since I will not be able to go out freely for a while, I would like to take a drive in the neighborhood once in a while for a change of pace.
