Why Porsche Drivers Are Drawn to Jiro Shirasu: A Reflection

The Man, Jiro Shirasu My husband, who has loved Japanese history since he was a student, is especially fond of figures from around the Meiji Restoration. On his tours, he’s gone solo to visit the site of Yoshida Shoin’s Shoka Sonjuku Academy and the Katsurahama Beach in Kochi Prefecture, where the statue of Ryoma Sakamoto stands. Actually, I also quite like stories from the Meiji Restoration and novels by Ryotaro Shiba, so I remember when...

Is the Porsche 911 (991) More Fun Than the New 992?

911DAYS My husband buys and thoroughly reads every magazine featuring Porsches he’s interested in. When he was considering purchasing an air-cooled 911, he ordered magazines from the time the 964 was released and looked at them daily. Recently, perhaps because he’s waiting for delivery of a 911 GT3 (991.2), he’s been frequently reading magazines featuring the 991. Then the other day, I found the 75th issue of 911DAYS sitting on his study desk. At this...

A Collection of Memorable Quotes from “Why We Love Porsche”

A Book Given to My Husband A few years ago, I completely stopped reading books. Long ago, I was into Miyabe Miyuki and often read Ryotaro Shiba’s works, but after entering the workforce and reading business books, I found my brain getting unusually tired, and before I knew it, I drifted away from books. Yet, ironically, I diligently write text every day on my blog. What am I, really? lol(I do like writing, though) One...

What Kind of Woman Should You Marry to Keep Loving Cars Even After Marriage?

The Charm of Twitter Lately, I’ve become more of a Twitter fan than Facebook. Of course, both have their own appeal, but I feel that Twitter reveals people’s true nature and raw emotions more than Facebook. Just scrolling through posts can be entertaining and spark fresh ideas from different perspectives. (Though there’s plenty of misinformation aimed at going viral.) For example, around Valentine’s Day, I saw many tweets from car-loving guys saying things like “I...

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...
