The Urge to Change Cars and the Reality of Taycan Resale Value

The other day, while driving my Taycan, I found myself reflecting deeply: “Choosing the right car for myself is really tough…” Today, I want to share my thoughts on the recurring “urge to change cars,” the harsh reality of “EV resale values,” and ultimately why I’ve concluded that “my current Taycan 4S Cross Turismo is the best fit.” The Cyclical “Car Change Fever” and Browsing Car Sensor I regularly get waves of “I want to...

A Trip to Awaji Island in the Taycan: When Will CHAdeMO Charging Errors Be Fixed?

Recently, I took a trip to Awaji Island in my Taycan. At the end of last year, I decided, “From now on, I’ll make time to visit shrines and collect goshuin stamps,” so I’m planning to explore various shrines with my beloved Taycan. However, I ran into that familiar trouble again. It was a charging error with the CHAdeMO fast charger. Using Fast Charging on the Go: An Infrequent Necessity Since we have the ability...

Approaching the 10th Year of This Blog: Reflecting on 2025 and Looking Ahead

The year is drawing to a close once again. To everyone who has connected with me through this blog over the past year, thank you so much. The Porsche Blog Enters Its 10th Year This year, I struggled to find time to write articles. Or rather, it wasn’t so much about physical time, but more about lacking the mental space to write for the blog. Still, looking ahead to 2026, I want to carve out...

Are Driving Gloves Necessary? Washing My Well-Worn Pair

Today, I want to share some thoughts about driving gloves. To be honest, I never really considered the idea of wearing driving gloves while behind the wheel. My initial thought was, “I’m not a racer… I don’t need those.” But once I started using them, I couldn’t imagine driving without them anymore (laughs). How It All Started: A Gift from My Husband It all began about four or five years ago. For my birthday, my...

Blog Update After a While: Driving the Taycan on Awaji Island and Embracing “Rest” as a N...

Recently, I took a solo trip to Awaji Island with my beloved Taycan. “Why Awaji Island?” you might ask… well, there’s a bit of a reason behind it. (Not too deep, though! lol) Lately, I hadn’t been able to update my blog. My husband has been diligently writing, and I also had things I wanted to share, but work was so busy that I couldn’t find the mental space to do so. Today, I want...

Took My SL400 to the Famous Oda Auto from YouTube!

Visiting Oda Auto, Famous on YouTube I brought my Mercedes-Benz SL400 (R231 model), which I purchased in August, to Oda Auto. This is the workshop run by the Kansai dialect-speaking owner known on YouTube for his catchphrase, “Don’t underestimate me!”. Watching his videos, many might find him a bit intimidating at first—I certainly did. Worried about saying the wrong thing and getting scolded, I carefully explained my requests via email and scheduled a visit. When...

Eight Years Since “Welcome Home, PORSCHE”: Never Forget That Lightfooted Spirit

The other day, someone asked me, “How long have you been blogging?” When I counted again, it turned out to be eight years already. I started this blog in June 2017. I was genuinely moved realizing how long it’s been. Maybe I’ve Been Overthinking Lately Lately, I find myself overthinking quite often. For example, even small things—when I think, “Maybe I should tweet something on X,” I end up wondering, “What on earth should I...

Porsche Spider RS Delivered! The Ultimate Street Machine That Democratizes the GT3 Experi...

Striking Racing Yellow! First Encounter with the Spider RS The long-awaited 718 Spider RS has finally arrived. Seeing it for the first time in Racing Yellow truly confirms it as a standout color. In today’s lingo, it’s the quintessential “eye-catching” color. It commands attention against any backdrop without losing its presence. This color scheme deliberately tames the expansive yellow with black accents. By painting the PCCB brakes black and keeping the wheels black, the design...
