Back Pain Solutions for Driving Enthusiasts – Tips for Office Chairs, Seat Positioning, a...

Comments on Back Pain Solutions The other day, I wrote an article titled “My husband loves driving but suffers from back pain—if anyone has recommended solutions, please share,” and received many comments. Thank you all so much. Among them, some doctors specializing in back pain treatment even took the time to email me… while writing this Porsche blog, I realized that “a nationwide network of top specialists had naturally formed” (laughs). Four Key Back Pain...

New Porsche 911 (992): The Specs My Husband Would Choose! — A Configurator Estimate

Our Usual Configurator Ritual Whenever Porsche releases a new model, my husband has made it a habit to open Porsche Japan’s car configurator and say, “If it were me, this is what I’d pick~,” while imagining the specs. Even though he’s not actually buying one, haha.(In the past, he even planned out specs for the new Cayenne.) Since the new 911 (992) was announced last year, he’s been devouring YouTube and automotive media test drive...

For Drivers Who Love Driving but Suffer from Back Pain – Recommended Remedies for Back Pain

My Husband, Who Loves Driving, and His Back Pain My husband loves driving, but for the past few months, he’s often been saying, “My back hurts.” Apparently, he injured his back after carrying our 5-year-old daughter (18kg) up to the second floor, and since then, his back pain has worsened. That said, doing some stretch pole exercises really helps ease the pain, so it doesn’t seem too severe. Around that time, my husband also started...

A New Year’s Drive to Shirahama and Kumano in Wakayama with the Porsche Panamera

To Kumano Nachi Taisha in Wakayama Prefecture Our family doesn’t really have the tradition of “always going for Hatsumode (New Year shrine visit) on New Year’s Day or during the first three days.” Shrines are crowded during those days, and until around the Taisho era, the New Year was celebrated according to the lunar calendar (this year’s lunar New Year is apparently February 5th), so we thought, “Why not take our time and go for...

Porsche: A Passport to a New World

Thoughts on Porsche The other day, I casually tweeted, “Porsche is amazing. It instantly connects you with people you’d never normally meet. Somehow, Porsche feels like a passport to a whole new world.” To my surprise, it got quite a few retweets and likes. It seems many Porsche owners feel the same way: I really love how it doesn’t matter much about age or status — just being a “Porsche lover” or “Porsche driver” creates...

If My Husband Had to Choose Just One Porsche Today: 911 (964C2), Panamera, or Boxster

A Slightly Unusual Couple My husband and I aren’t very interested in the usual things like food, clothing, or housing. Our family of four rarely eats out (about twice a month), and when we do, it’s usually at places like Gusto or conveyor belt sushi. As for clothes, both my husband and I are firmly in the “Uniclo is more than enough” camp, and my husband even wears his clothes until they fall apart. We...
