A Car-Loving Husband Advises His Dad Considering a New Ride

My Parents’ Car Replacement Story My parents have been thinking about changing their car since around last year. Since they’re quite elderly now, they said, “the next car will be the last one. After that, I’ll surrender my license.” So they want a car they can truly be satisfied with, more than ever before. Actually, my older brother is also a car enthusiast, so Dad consulted him recently and seems to have roughly decided on...

What Cars Does a Porsche Owner Want These Days?

The Car My Porsche-Loving Husband Wants Watching my husband, I sometimes think that the most enjoyable time for him might be when he’s pondering, “What car should I buy next…?” Last year, he said wistfully things like, “I’m starting to run out of cars I really want…” but lately, he’s been talking about cars he wants again. Of course, this is just in the realm of daydreams—he’s not actually planning to buy anything right now....

Is a Car “Unnecessary” or “Essential” in Life? — A Wife’s P...

Cars Are Unnecessary in Life Before I met my husband, I thought, “Cars are completely unnecessary for living.” So I was absolutely sure I would never own a car in my life. I grew up in the countryside where my family relied on cars, but since I got my driver’s license in my first year of university, I’ve been a paper driver, using bicycles, buses, and trains for transportation. After I started living alone, I...

[Porsche Owner’s Garage] Porsche 911 GT2 RS, Speedster… Absolutely Stunning Luxury!

Visiting a Porsche Owner’s Garage The other day, I had the chance to visit the garage of one of my husband’s car friends. My husband had been there quite a while ago, and he showed me the amazing photos he took of the incredible cars, so I had been thinking, “I wish I could go too!” for a long time. However, I’m not personally close to this person, only my husband is… so I felt...

A Conversation Between Porsche Owner Spouses: Life Is a Balance of Pluses and Minuses

Talking with a Porsche Owner The other night, our kids unusually went to bed early, so my husband and I were able to have a little chat. When children are small, daily life revolves almost entirely around them, making it hard for a couple to find time to talk alone. But recently, I’ve come to think that it’s important for both of us to consciously make time for moments like this without pushing ourselves too...

5 Years as a Porsche Owner – What’s Changed and What Hasn’t

5 Years of Owning a Porsche The first time my husband’s very first Porsche, a Boxster GTS, came home to us was in November 2015. Back then, I had absolutely no interest in cars, but of course, I had heard of the name Porsche. However, I had the image that “Porsche was a car from a world above the clouds, something only celebrities buy,” so even when my husband said he was going to buy...

How Do Porsche Owners Handle Inspections and Maintenance?

Porsche Maintenance The other day, after writing articles about Porsche inspections (Boxster, 964), I received comments from readers sharing their own experiences with issues, inspections, and maintenance on their cars. Reading through them, I felt, “These are truly valuable insights that only actual owners would know…” so I decided to share some of these on the blog this time. Of course, the details vary greatly depending on mileage, daily usage, and individual differences, but I...

What Matters Most When Driving a Sports Car, According to a Porsche Owner

As a Porsche Owner I don’t consider myself a confident driver, so I usually don’t drive fast. In fact, I tend to drive quite slowly, and my husband often tells me, “You need to drive a bit faster to really appreciate what this car can do….” That said, whenever I see news reports about accidents involving Porsches on TV, it hits close to home and scares me. Just recently, I saw a news story about...

Purchased a Genuine Porsche Leather Key Case: Quality and Usability Review

Porsche Key Cases Currently, our household has six cars, and the shelf where we hang the car keys has become quite a chaotic mess. Since some cars have two keys for my spouse and me, the number of keys has actually grown beyond the number of cars. I had been attaching the Porsche Crest keychain we received at delivery to the Porsche keys, but I was worried about the keychain wearing down from rubbing against...
