Watching PCCJ at Suzuka Circuit: Racing and Theme Park Fun for the Whole Family

Last weekend, I headed to Suzuka Circuit to watch Rounds 8 and 9 of the Porsche Carrera Cup Japan (PCCJ), held on September 12 and 13. SUZUKA 1000 km and PCCJ The event was held alongside the 2026 Intercontinental GT Challenge Round 4, the 50th SUZUKA 1000 km. It felt busier than any PCCJ event I’d been to before. I’d been determined to book a room at the Suzuka Circuit Hotel in advance, but race-day...

Two Months with the 987 Boxster Spyder: Lightweight Feel and Sound That Make It a True Po...

987ボクスタースパイダーがわが家に来て2ヶ月、走行距離3,000km。本国仕様ホイールへの交換で増した軽さ、油圧ステアリングの手応え、2速3速のギア比とスポーツエグゾーストの音、そして今の911より古き良きポルシェらしいと感じる理由を書いた。

The Car-Upgrade Itch and the Reality of Taycan Resale Values

The other day, I was out driving my Taycan when it hit me once again: choosing the right car for yourself is really hard… Today, I want to write about the “car-upgrade itch” that keeps coming back, the “reality of EV resale values” I have to face, and how I ultimately reach the conclusion that “my current Taycan 4S Cross Turismo is the perfect car for me.” The recurring urge to stray—and Carsensor Every so...

A Porsche Taycan Road Trip to Awaji Island—and Yet Another CHAdeMO Charging Error

The other day, I took our Taycan to Awaji Island. Last year, I decided that I’d make more time for collecting temple and shrine stamps, so I’m planning to visit all kinds of shrines with my Taycan. But on this trip, I ran into that familiar problem again: A CHAdeMO rapid-charging error. We Only Use Public Rapid Chargers Once in a While We have a home charger, so we rarely need to use rapid chargers...

Are Driving Gloves Worth It? I Tried Washing My Well-Worn Pair

Today, I want to talk about driving gloves. Honestly, I’d never even considered wearingdriving gloves behind the wheel. My thinking was, “I’m not a racing driver… I don’t need those.” But once I started wearing them, I couldn’t imagine driving without them (笑). It All Started with a Gift from My Husband It began four or five years ago, when my husband gave me a pair of driving gloves from CACAZAN for my birthday. My...

A Long-Awaited Blog Update: The Taycan, Awaji Island, and Why “Taking a Break” Is My New Job

The other day, I took a solo trip to Awaji Island with my beloved Taycan. “Why Awaji Island?” you might ask. Well, there was a bit of a reason (nothing too deep, though!). I hadn’t been able to update the blog for a while. My husband had been diligently writing, and I had plenty I wanted to share, too. But work had been so busy that I just couldn’t find the headspace. Today, I’d like...

I Took My SL400 to Oda Auto, the YouTube-Famous Mercedes Specialist!

A Visit to Oda Auto, Famous on YouTube I took my Mercedes-Benz SL400 (R231), which I bought in August, to Oda Auto. It’s the workshop run by the Kansai-accented owner known on YouTube for his catchphrase, “Don’t take me for a fool!” Watching his videos, it’s easy to get the impression that he might be a little intimidating. That was my first impression, too. Worried I might say the wrong thing and get told off,...

Welcome Home, PORSCHE—Year Eight: Never Lose the Courage to Take That First Step

The other day, someone asked me, “When did you start blogging?” I did the math, and realized it’s already been eight years. I started in June 2017. It’s hard to believe I’ve been at it that long. Maybe I’ve Been Overthinking Things Lately Lately, I’ve caught myself overthinking things more often than I’d like. Take something small, like posting on X. I’ll think, “Maybe I should post something,” then immediately wonder, “What on earth should...
