The other day, my husband had the opportunity to drive a 1976 911S Targa on the Royu Driveway and wrote a report about it. I’d be delighted if you take a look. Porsche 911S Targa When you think of the Porsche 911 Targa, it carries a special image. It’s like a coupe but not quite, like a cabriolet but not exactly. Recently, the heritage design edition of the new 911 (992 model) Targa 4S, limited...
Porsche Maintenance The other day, after writing articles about Porsche inspections (Boxster, 964), I received comments from readers sharing their own experiences with issues, inspections, and maintenance on their cars. Reading through them, I felt, “These are truly valuable insights that only actual owners would know…” so I decided to share some of these on the blog this time. Of course, the details vary greatly depending on mileage, daily usage, and individual differences, but I...
Porsche Lineup Currently, our household has a total of five Porsches: Porsche 911 GT3 (991 late model), 911 (964 C2), 911 Cabriolet (992), Boxster GTS (981), and Cayenne E-Hybrid. (When I think about it again, that’s quite a collection…) Recently, my husband was asked by an acquaintance, “Regardless of future value increases or rarity, if you had to keep only one from your current lineup, which one would you keep?” I asked him, “That’s a...
Getting Back Behind the Wheel of the Porsche 911 GT3 At home, we have sports cars like the Boxster (MT), 911 Cabriolet, 911 GT3 (MT), and a 911 (964), but since they’re often parked near the station or my husband’s workplace, and given that they’re mostly two-seaters (the 911 technically seats four, but it’s basically just two seats in practice…), I rarely get the chance to drive them. My husband says, “You should drive them...
Our Porsche 911 (992 Model) The 911 Cabriolet (992 model) was delivered in September. After my husband’s commuting and long-distance touring, the break-in period ended, we even took it to Fuji Speedway, and the oil change is done—now, the mileage has already exceeded 3,800 km. It’s amazing how much it’s been driven in just two months… (laughs) Usually, my husband is the one who drives the 911 Cabriolet. I want to drive it too, but...

Porsche 911 (Air-Cooled 964) Vehicle Inspection The other day, in the article “Riding a Refreshed Porsche 911 (Air-Cooled 964) Felt Like a Brand-New Car,” I mentioned that I would share the details of the vehicle inspection later. So this time, I want to write about the costs and contents of the inspection. For this inspection, I asked B-Force, who has been taking care of the 964’s maintenance since delivery. Here is the breakdown of the...
Maintenance Costs of the Porsche GT3 The other day, I received a question: “It’s said that the maintenance costs for the GT3 are higher than those for the 911 Carrera, but what exactly is more expensive and by how much?” So, I asked my husband what he thought about it. Hmm… So far, I don’t really feel that the GT3 is significantly more expensive to maintain compared to the 911 Carrera. However, if you frequently...
Air-Cooled Porsche 911 (964) Time flies—it’s already been two full years since our 964 was delivered. My husband often said, “Thanks to the regular maintenance over these two years, it’s gotten into really good shape! I think it’s getting close to how it felt when it was brand new.” But with the chaos of childbirth and periods when the 964 was parked far from home, I hadn’t driven it at all. ポルシェ911（空冷964型）の足回り全般を純正部品で交換！ 空冷ポルシェ 911（964）の予防整備 –...
Touring with Wata, a Boxster Enthusiast My husband has long regarded Wata-san, famous for his blog about his Porsche Boxster (previously a BMW Alpina), as his “mentor.” Wata-san’s 981 Boxster, purchased new, has already surpassed 160,000 kilometers, having conquered countless roads all over Japan multiple times—a truly remarkable driver. My husband often said, I love driving and touring too, but I can’t match Wata-san. He’s really amazing. I hope to meet him someday and drive...
