Our Family’s Car Choice: The New Porsche 911 (992) Is Decided!

Next Candidate After the Panamera Since last fall, we’ve been going back and forth, agonizing over “what to do about replacing our Panamera that’s almost been with us for three years.” (I wrote about the candidate cars in this earlier article.) This summer, with our third child born, our family will become five members, and naturally, when choosing a car, the thought was “if it’s Porsche, then it has to be the Cayenne.” But it...

Let’s Say It Again: Manual Cars Are Fun!

Manual Cars Since my very first car, a manual transmission BMW 320i arrived at our home, I’ve been driving the 320i quite often. Time flies—it’s almost been a year since delivery. This 320i isn’t an M Sport or anything fancy; it’s a basic model. After getting used to driving it, I honestly found myself feeling, “this is a bit underwhelming…” The engine is quiet, and the ride is comfortable, making it great as a family...

Interactions with Fellow Porsche Owners

Porsche, Royu Last Sunday morning, my spouse and I went to the Royu Driveway for the first time in a while. It had been four months since we last visited Royu on a Sunday morning. The weather at the foot of the mountain hinted at spring, but as expected, the lookout on the Royu Driveway was still chilly. Various cars had gathered at the lookout, but the Porsche presence was definitely high here. If you...

Coming This August: A New Arrival at Our Home…!

Not about cars this time… Sorry for the teasing title. This time, it’s not about cars, but a personal update about our family. I’m currently five months pregnant and expecting our third child this August. Finally, the time has come to share this news with everyone. From the end of last year through the beginning of this year, my health wasn’t great, and when I mentioned that I’d be posting less frequently on the blog,...

Family Touring with Porsche 911 GT3 and Boxster

With the 911 GT3 and Boxster The other day, our family took a trip to nearby Arima Onsen in the 911 GT3 and Boxster. We decided on a whim just before leaving, and when we checked, there were still rooms available, so we went for it. It was a rare sunny day. We packed our luggage into a slightly larger suitcase, and when my husband tried to put it in the car trunks, surprisingly, it...

Taycan Next After Panamera? Or Cayenne? Or Could It Be the Unexpected 911?!

The Next Car After the Panamera Since last fall, we’ve been talking about replacing our Panamera, as I mentioned in a previous article. The Panamera’s inspection is due this October, so we’re considering switching to another car by then. However, even though we say “just switch,” it’s not that simple. It’s been about half a year since last fall, but we still haven’t decided on the next candidate car. It’s not that we haven’t thought...

Stopping the Decline of Young Drivers – Interview with 27-Year-Old Porsche Owner Yamaken

From a young age, I’ve been a huge car enthusiast. In my twenties, I became a Porsche and Ferrari owner, founded the HOC (Heisei Owners Club), and I’m currently active as the “Yusaku Maezawa Supercar Project Manager.” On Twitter, I have quite a strong influence. It’s surprising that I’m only 27 years old. I had exchanged messages on Twitter and greeted each other at events before, but recently I was given the precious opportunity to...

I Asked My Husband What He Did to Be Able to Buy a Porsche

The Goal of Buying a Porsche I’ve often asked my husband, “How can someone become able to buy a Porsche?” and shared his answers here on the blog. ポルシェを買えるようになるには、ただ頑張るだけでいいのか? 「どうすればポルシェを買えるようになる?」素朴な疑問を夫にぶつけてみた   Recently, I asked him again, “What did you do when you were younger to be able to buy a Porsche?” He told me that about once every ten years, he writes down his future goals in a notebook. And just the other day, he...
