A Slightly Unusual New Year’s Eve for a Porsche Owner Couple and Their 2022 Resolut...

Year-End Porsche 911 Touring Happy New Year! Thanks to everyone, I was able to recharge slowly over the holidays. I look forward to your continued support this year. Now, at the end of 2021, my husband went on his usual solo touring trip. Meanwhile, I returned to my parents’ home with the kids and enjoyed a relaxing break. This time, he headed north in the 911 Carrera 4 GTS (991.1) he bought last fall in...

Which Car Took the Test Drive Car of the Year 2021? | Looking Back on This Year’s Blog

Looking Back on the Porsche Blog The year 2021 is coming to an end. Every year I feel, “Time really flies,” but this year felt both long and short… it was a strange year. Since this will be the last article I write this year, I want to take a moment to reflect on everything since I started this blog. Many of you may already know, but this Porsche blog was launched because of my...

What It Takes to Earn Enough to Buy a Porsche

Increasing Your Income to Buy a Porsche The other day, I wrote an article titled “To Buy a Porsche, Increase Your Income,” and after reading it, someone sent me this message on Twitter: I don’t have any Porsche owners around me, so I rarely get a chance to hear their stories. I’d love to read about your husband’s philosophy on earning and his way of thinking. So, I thought about it. I’ve occasionally written on...

To Buy a Porsche, Increase Your Earnings

Increase Your Earnings to Buy a Porsche The other day, my husband tweeted something that got shared quite a bit. 節約ばかりで稼ごうという気持ちがないやつにポルシェは買えない。 — Hiro@ポルシェがわが家にやってきた (@boxster_gts) December 9, 2021 “You can’t buy a Porsche if you only focus on saving and don’t have the drive to earn more.” That really hit home. He was surprised by how many likes that casual tweet got. And he said, Of course, being mindful about not wasting money and saving is...

Is the Most Fun Part of Buying a Car the Time Spent Considering Options? | My Journey to ...

Which Porsche Model Do I Want? As I’ve mentioned on the blog recently, my Swift Sport was delivered in October. I really enjoy the Swift Sport and plan to keep driving it for a while, but at the same time, my goal to purchase a Porsche is still very much alive. However, just saying “buy a Porsche” is simple, but there are so many models and trims, and over the past few years, the Porsche...

Can I Achieve My Goal of “Buying a Porsche with My Own Money”?

I Want to Buy a Porsche Myself Since around this summer, I’ve started a new challenge. An entrepreneur I know asked me, “Could you take on something like this?” and I jumped at the chance. Just like when I started this blog from scratch, this project is about creating something from zero and growing it. I didn’t know if it would succeed, and with parenting and blogging already keeping me busy, I knew it would...

Experienced the “Mid vs Rear” Program at PEC Tokyo: Mid-Engine vs Rear-Engine

PEC Tokyo: Starting Out in the Boxster GTS 4.0 The other day, I visited the Porsche Experience Center Tokyo (PEC Tokyo), and today I want to share my impressions of the “two-car comparison” program I experienced there. The program I joined was the 90-minute “Mid vs Rear,” which thoroughly explores the differences between mid-engine and rear-engine Porsches. The first car I got to drive was the Boxster GTS 4.0. I had expected to drive a...

Porsche Experience Center (PEC) Tokyo Report | Three Key Attractions I Discovered Firsthand

Visiting Porsche Experience Center Tokyo Last week, I visited the Porsche Experience Center Tokyo (PEC Tokyo), which opened in October in Kisarazu, Chiba Prefecture. The Porsche Experience Center is a Porsche brand facility with the concept of being a place to “unleash the true performance hidden within Porsche and maximize your instincts as a driver.” Actually, when my family traveled to Los Angeles before, we stopped by the Porsche Experience Center LA. Although we didn’t...

How My Wife Feels Riding Shotgun in a Sports Car | Grateful When My Husband Gets Better a...

There’s a Proper Form to Driving Sports Cars My husband often says this: Driving a sports car is just like playing a sport. In sports like tennis, golf, or baseball, there’s a fundamental form everyone learns first. People practice it repeatedly until it becomes second nature and they improve. But when it comes to driving sports cars, many people just wing it without learning the basics, right? Especially the driving position—so many people have it...

Why My Husband’s Income Rose and We Could Afford a Porsche | The Crucial Role of a Wife’s...

Our Wedding Anniversary My husband and I are pretty bad at remembering anniversaries and events. Also, neither of us is very materialistic, so when I ask him, “What do you want for your birthday?” he usually says, “I don’t really want anything.” So every year, I just give him a Porsche T-shirt. And when he asks me, “What do you want for your birthday?” I reply, “Hmm, I don’t really want anything, so I’m good,”...
