Swapping the Boxster and 911 The other day, my brother and his family came to visit us. It had been about three years since they last came over. Since they made the trip all the way here, my husband, brother, and his kids decided to go to the Royu Driveway in the 911. So, we needed to swap the Boxster GTS (981) parked at home with the 911 Cabriolet (992) parked near the station. My...

Boxster, Day 4 Our journey with the Boxster is now approaching its final stages. Perhaps because we experienced the terrifying narrow, hard-to-drive road R265 yesterday, I think we both slept very well. Today, we planned to focus on driving around the Satsuma Peninsula and set off from the hotel. Our first destination was...

The 6th Year of Our 981 Boxster GTS Our Boxster just passed its second inspection this November. Until now, my husband used to say things like, “I wonder if the time will come to part with the Boxster someday…” But as he’s driven it more, he’s discovered new joys and charms, kept up with maintenance, continued the extended warranty… I think he’s finally decided to keep it for the long haul. That said, he rarely...
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.

It’s been a while since I drove a manual, and the clutch is so...

But just the other day, I received final confirmation from the client that the trip would proceed...
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...
