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). He went on to say, I even worry unnecessarily...

How Was It Driving a Porsche Boxster at Suzuka Circuit?

Suzuka Circuit Driving Event The other day, my husband participated in a driving event at Suzuka Circuit with his Boxster GTS. The only available date for participation was for an event hosted by a certain tuning shop, so while most of the cars around were Japanese custom cars, only my husband and his friend brought their completely stock Porsche to join. (He said he felt pretty out of place, lol) That day, it was a...

Porsche Daytime Running Lights When I was watching the news about the Porsche Panamera accident on the Hanshin Expressway the other day, my husband said, This Panamera (970) seemed to be speeding, but I wonder if the lights were on. This model of Panamera was made before Japan’s DRL standards changed, so the headlights should come on automatically after driving above a certain speed for a while. Come to think of it, we once talked...
