“Someday, a Porsche.” What’s Essential to Make That Dream Come True

Last May, I purchased my first Porsche, a 911 Carrera T. I’m currently driving a Taycan 4S Cross Turismo, but when I started this blog seven years ago, I never imagined such a future awaited me.

Tesla Comes Home | Why a Porsche Owner Ordered a Tesla Model 3

The Appeal of EVs Felt Through the Porsche Taycan It’s been a month since the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo arrived at our home. My wife mainly drives it, but I’ve had the chance to drive it occasionally, and I’ve come to appreciate the charm of EVs all over again. Certainly, EVs have their downsides.

Sold My 911 Carrera T After 8,000km: The Story Behind It and My Next Beloved Porsche
