Five Years Since Delivery of the Porsche Boxster GTS: The Second Inspection Cost a Whoppi...

981 Boxster GTS Inspection This is my husband’s first Porsche, the 981 Boxster GTS. I was there when it was delivered back in 2015. I still vividly remember how excited he was when he finally got his long-awaited Porsche after deciding years ago, “I will definitely buy a Porsche someday.” It still feels so strange, like it’s not really mine yet. It’s been a while since I drove a manual, and the clutch is so...

Trip to Hokuriku in a Porsche Boxster｜Reflections on an 800km Round Trip

Heading to Hokuriku in a Porsche This hardly ever happens, but about a year ago, I was assigned a business trip with an overnight stay in Hokuriku (Toyama and Kanazawa) this November. However, due to the ongoing impact of COVID-19, many jobs were canceled one after another, so I thought this Hokuriku trip would probably be canceled too. But just the other day, I received final confirmation from the client that the trip would proceed...

What I Felt Driving the Boxster (981, MT) for the First Time in Two Months

Getting Back in the Boxster After a Long Time My husband recently said, “I’ll watch the kids, so go drive the car. It’ll be good for a change of pace.” He says things like this as if he were a godsend. Of course, he often goes out driving alone on his days off, but now when he comes home, even without me saying anything, he’ll say, “Why don’t you go drive the car?” I’m truly...

Driving the Boxster with the Top Down on a Sunny Break in the Rainy Season

The Boxster After a Long Time This rainy season feels like it’s been wetter than last year. The other day, while driving, I noticed lots of hydrangeas blooming beautifully along the riverside park near my home. It would be lovely to take a photo of my car with the hydrangeas. This year’s rainy season isn’t just constant rain every day—there are plenty of sunny breaks in between, so the other day, I decided to take...

Porsche Boxster GTS and Nightscape Photography

Boxster and Nightscape My husband, who is passionate about photography, has taken many photos of “nightscapes with our cars” over the years. However, most of them were with the Panamera and GT3; he had never taken a single photo of the Boxster with a night view. Since our Boxster’s body color is white, my husband said, “It’s tough to photograph a white car with a nightscape. The Panamera’s Night Blue Metallic body blends well into...
