My Husband Is a Free Spirit｜A Porsche-Loving Wife Shares Our Marriage Story

Lately, at work, I’ve found myself saying more often, “Actually, my husband and I run a Porsche blog together…” I hadn’t exactly been hiding it before, but since my current work roots come from that Porsche blog, it naturally comes up more often. My Husband’s Freedom, My Perspective When I mention this, people often become curious about my husband. This kind of exchange happens a lot: “What does your husband drive?” “Uh… a 911, a...

Taycan Can Still Go with Just 2% Charge Left!

Last November, I attended a gathering of Taycan owners for the first time. Until then, I had never joined a Taycan meet, and honestly, I’m not really the type to go to such events (I tend to stay home…). However, I was invited by Ingenieur-san, a Taycan owner I had met before at Fuji Speedway and exchanged info with, so I decided to join. Usually, these gatherings are held far away, but this time it...

A Three-Day Tokyo Business Trip in the Taycan: How Many Charges for 1,270 km Round Trip?

Recently, I took a business trip to Tokyo in the Taycan. It was a three-day, two-night trip. I wonder how many years it’s been since I last went on an overnight business trip. For this Tokyo trip, since I had appointments in Tokyo on the first day, Yokohama the next day, and then back to Tokyo at night, with a lot of travel crossing prefectural borders, I decided to go by Taycan instead of the...

Decision Made: Purchasing the 718 Spider RS! Why I Chose the Spider RS

Interest in the 718 Spider RS and the Purchase Journey As Porsche continues to unveil new models one after another, the spotlight among many Porsche fans is surely on the late-stage 992. However, what truly captured my heart was the 718 Spider RS. Though I have already placed orders for the 992 late-stage Targa 4 GTS and another Porsche, my main focus is clearly on the 718 Spider RS.

Owning a Porsche in a Family with Small Children

Children and Porsche February 2016. The first Porsche our family could all ride in together arrived at our home: a Panamera Edition (970 model). At that time, our eldest daughter was just 2 years old. When we only had one child, it wasn’t too bad, but as our second daughter and then our son were born and grew up, the issue of dirt inside the car gradually became unavoidable. After returning from the park or...

Why I Drive a Porsche – A Car Is More Than Just a Means of Transportation

Isn’t Traveling by Car a Hassle? Recently, I found myself thinking again, “A car isn’t just a means of getting from point A to point B.” This realization came from a casual conversation where someone said: “Isn’t traveling by car pretty tough? You have to find parking near your destination, and then you spend time walking from the parking lot. With trains, you can check your phone or reply to emails during the ride, but...

The other day, I had the chance to test drive the new Taycan at the Porsche Center. 新型ポルシェ・タイカン4クロスツーリスモ徹底レビュー：タイカンオーナーが語る新型の違い While casually browsing the merchandise corner, I came across an adorable backpack that immediately caught my eye. “I want this!

3 Key Points to Make Your Wife a Car Enthusiast

When we run a blog as a couple, we often receive messages like “It’s great that you can talk about cars together as a couple,” “It’s wonderful that you share a car hobby as a couple.” Indeed… talking about cars every day as a couple, running a blog together, and even doing a weekly YouTube live stream—I’m sure that’s pretty rare to find anywhere in Japan (laughs). That said, there’s a tendency to think I’ve...

Keeping Your Beloved Car Beautiful: Are We a “Protection Film Family” or a “Glass Coating...

“When you buy a car, do you think it’s better to apply a protection film or to get a coating?” This is a question I often get asked. This time, I’d like to share my family’s (my husband’s) perspective on this question. Protection Film vs. Glass Coating A protection film is a transparent film applied to protect the car’s paint surface. It’s especially applied to areas prone to stone chips and scratches, like the front...
