With a Heavy Heart, I Decided to Withdraw from the Porsche 718 Spyder Reservation List

The other day, my husband said, “We’ve given up on the 718 Spyder,” so I asked him to share the background and reasons in this article. Please have a look if you’re interested. We had reserved the 718 Spyder quite some time ago, but recently the dealer’s representative contacted us asking, “What will you do about the 718 Spyder?” It was a very tough question. Of course, we want it, but this time we decided...

3000km Tohoku Touring in a Porsche Boxster [Part 1]

Heading to Tohoku in the Boxster I’ve been tweeting bits and pieces, but during the recent Golden Week, my husband took the Boxster on a Tohoku tour. Six nights and seven days, no ferries or anything—it was a full self-driven long-distance tour. As usual, he put together a detailed report from DAY 1 through DAY 7, which is quite a long read, so I’ll share it in several parts here. By the way, here’s a...

Comparing the Porsche 718 Boxster GTS and the 981 Boxster GTS

Got to Ride the 718 Boxster GTS!? One Saturday in February, my husband’s acquaintance took delivery of a 718 Boxster GTS, so my husband arranged to meet at the Higashi Rokko Observatory on the Royu Driveway and promised to get a ride. “Since it’s a special occasion, Mina, why don’t you come along too?” he said, so I asked my mother-in-law to watch the kids well in advance and eagerly looked forward to the day....

When You Say You Drive a Porsche and They Ask, “911?” — The Awkward Pause Aft...

Riding the 981 Boxster Lately, my husband, who often commutes in an air-cooled 911, took the Boxster to work after a while. When he came home, his first words were: Man, the Boxster really is such a great car. I couldn’t help but think, “I’ve heard that line over a thousand times already,” (Kansai people tend to exaggerate stories, so it’s probably more like 30 times).
