Thoughts on Owning Two GTS Models: Boxster (981) and 911 (991 Pre-Facelift)

Two Beloved Cars I want to keep every Porsche I own forever, but there are two in particular that I especially want to hold onto.

Both are the ‘GTS’ grade, standing for Grand Touring Sport, and both feature naturally aspirated flat-six engines from before noise and environmental regulations became as strict as they are now.

A Long-Awaited Boxster Drive Yesterday, I drove the Boxster (981 GTS) for the first time in a while. Whenever I get behind the wheel of our Porsche, I always write “It’s been a while…,” but this time, I honestly couldn’t even remember the last time I drove the Boxster—it had been that long.

Spring San’in Touring with the Porsche Boxster

A Journey with the Boxster When spring break comes, my wife and kids always go back to their parents’ home. March was busy for various reasons, but with work settling down, I decided to take a short tour after a long time. At first, I was thinking about heading toward Wakayama, where the highway has been expanded to four lanes, but the weather forecast showed it would be bad there. Looking westward, the weather seemed...

New Year’s Short Touring on Awaji Island with the Boxster

Driving the Boxster After experiencing a dead battery at the end of last year, I felt like taking the Boxster out for a drive again. So, early in the new year, I decided on a short touring trip.

I tried several times, but still no reaction. It...
