The Unique Scent of the Air-Cooled Porsche 911 – What Exactly Is That Smell?

The Scent of the Green Porsche Recently, my husband had been commuting in our air-cooled 911 (964). One evening when he came home, our eldest daughter ran up to him saying, “Welcome home~” (When she’s in a good mood, she runs and hugs him, but when she’s not, she completely ignores him… even at five years old, she’s already as changeable as the autumn sky), and said this: Dad smells like the green Porsche (964)!...

The Thrill of RR and the Charm of Analog – Why We Love the Air-Cooled Porsche 911

The Thrill of RR The other day, when my husband came home from work, he sat down on the sofa and said thoughtfully, “The 964 (air-cooled 911) really is something special. RR is truly fascinating.” I replied, “How many times are you going to say that? You say it so often it’s starting to make me laugh, lol.” He answered, “Yeah, I know,” and then launched into a passionate explanation about air-cooled Porsches. With the...

Is the Porsche 911 (991) More Fun Than the New 992?

911DAYS My husband buys and thoroughly reads every magazine featuring Porsches he’s interested in. When he was considering purchasing an air-cooled 911, he ordered magazines from the time the 964 was released and looked at them daily. Recently, perhaps because he’s waiting for delivery of a 911 GT3 (991.2), he’s been frequently reading magazines featuring the 991. Then the other day, I found the 75th issue of 911DAYS sitting on his study desk. At this...

Driving a Classic Air-Cooled Porsche 911 on a Rainy Day

During a Rainy Day Drive The other day, we attended a relative’s wedding as a family of four, but unfortunately, it was pouring rain on the day. Of course… ( -_- ) The day before was sunny, and since my mother-in-law is a super lucky charm for good weather, everyone in the family was saying, “It’ll definitely be sunny because so-and-so will be there.” But sadly, it seems my rain-woman powers won out. The wedding...

New Porsche 911 (992): The Specs My Husband Would Choose! — A Configurator Estimate

Our Usual Configurator Ritual Whenever Porsche releases a new model, my husband has made it a habit to open Porsche Japan’s car configurator and say, “If it were me, this is what I’d pick~,” while imagining the specs. Even though he’s not actually buying one, haha.(In the past, he even planned out specs for the new Cayenne.) Since the new 911 (992) was announced last year, he’s been devouring YouTube and automotive media test drive...

How Far Will They Go?! A Behind-the-Scenes Look at the Development of the New Porsche 911...

Video on the Development of the New 911 The other day, my husband told me, “There’s a video showing how the new 911 (992) was developed,” and sent me the URL. The video is titled “Porsche 911 (992) – HOW IT’S DESIGNED” and runs for about 30 minutes. I thought, “30 minutes is quite long (-_-),” but I watched it right away… As expected from Porsche, the behind-the-scenes development was so intense that I sighed,...

The Porsche 991.2 GT3 (MT) Automatically Matches Engine Speed Even When Shifting Up!?

Husband Researches the GT3 The other day, my husband quickly ordered a 911 GT3 Touring (991.2), but even after that, he keeps gathering information at home by reading online reviews and magazines about the GT3 Touring. I think, “Since you already ordered it, isn’t it a bit late to keep researching?” but then I remembered that before the delivery of our 971 Panamera, he was also ordering and thoroughly reading magazines about the Panamera and...
