What’s Going On This Year? Porsche 911 (Air-Cooled 964) Air Conditioning Isn’t Working

The other day, the air conditioning on our air-cooled Porsche 911 (964 model) stopped working, and my husband wrote an article about it. Please take a look if you’re interested. Air Conditioning on the Air-Cooled Porsche Lately, I’ve been rotating through the Porsches, switching which one I drive each week. As summer approached and the temperatures rose significantly, I decided to take the 964 out for a spin after a while. Starting the engine in...

Took Photos of Two Porsche 911s in Aventurine Green Parked Side by Side!

Porsche 911 in Aventurine Green Metallic Our home’s 911 Cabriolet (992 model) sports the Aventurine Green Metallic body color. This is a new color introduced with the 992 generation, a beautifully unique shade that’s somewhere between a deep brown and green. Previously, a blog reader (who seems to be a neighbor) left a comment: I drive a 992 coupe in Aventurine Green, so I hope we can meet up someday. Since then, we’ve occasionally spotted...

How My Impressions of the New Porsche 911 (992) Changed After 9 Months

Riding the 911 Cabriolet (992) After a While We have a 911 Cabriolet (992 model) at home. My husband has driven it about 5,000 km so far, but I only drive it occasionally. He often says to me, “Why don’t you drive it more!?” but since I usually only drive short distances—like a few minutes to the supermarket or to pick up our child from kindergarten—I think, “It feels like such a waste to take...

GT3’s Front Axle Lift System The other day, I received this question on the blog. I’ve ordered the new Porsche GT3. Should I add the front lift option? It’s expensive, so I’m thinking of skipping it and spending on other options instead, but is it really tough to go without it? That was the question. The GT3’s front lift refers to the optional Front Axle Lift System. Because the GT3 sits low, there’s a risk...
