Honestly, I’m Not “The Perfect Wife Who Understands Her Car-Loving Husband’s Hobby.”

A Wife Who Understands Her Husband’s Hobby Lately, I’ve been receiving comments like these on my blog and Twitter: ・“A wife who understands her husband’s hobby so well—what a wonderful couple.” ・“A wife who sees driving a Porsche as a sport is truly amazing (lol).” ・“I’m so jealous that your wife is so understanding.” Thank you very much for saying such kind things… m(_ _)m. But recently, I feel like the image of me as...

Driving a Car Is Truly a Sport! — A Wife’s Thoughts Watching Her Car-Obsessed Husband

My Car-Loving Husband From my perspective as his wife, my husband seems to be thinking about cars all the time, whether awake or asleep. He drives to work in the car, drives back home, then plays car racing games on PlayStation or Xbox. After that, he lies on the sofa watching Porsche and car-related reviews on YouTube, followed by watching Car Graphic TV over and over. This is how his weekdays usually go. And on...

Our Car Life, Porsche Panamera

Panamera Is Definitely the One for Me

Back Again to Amakusa and Aso in Kyushu At the end of November, the four of us took a trip to Amakusa and Aso in Kyushu with the Panamera. (There was talk about going with the air-cooled Porsche, but since it was a long drive with the whole family, we chose the Panamera.) Actually, we had taken the same trip with the family in the Panamera around this time last year, but the weather was...

Can a Woman Handle Putting On and Taking Off a Porsche Panamera Body Cover Alone? We Test...

Nakabayashi Kogyo’s Body Cover Recently, we had Nakabayashi Kogyo, a body cover manufacturer, make a body cover for the Panamera, and about a week later, the cover arrived at my home. When I opened the box, it was neatly packed like this. (By the way, this photo is from when I ordered a 911 body cover. I forgot to take a picture when the Panamera cover arrived.) Instead of just throwing this cover over the...

How Do You Protect Your Car from Door Dings? — Sharing Reader Comments Soon!

Door Ding Protection The other day, I received a comment on the blog asking, “How do you all protect against door dings?” Thinking about it, the previous 970 Panamera we had was fitted with a clear stone guard film, but for the current Panamera and Boxster, I haven’t done any specific door ding protection. So, I did a little research on door ding protection, but all I found were the usual tips like “choose a...

About the Blog Update Frequency Thank you always for reading the blog. It’s nothing major, but today I have an announcement for everyone. From now on, I’ve decided to “slow down the pace of blog updates a bit.” Actually, last weekend, I caught a cold from my daughter when I was already tired, and I ended up down for the first time in years. (Thankfully, I’m fully recovered now.) About five years ago, I also...

Considering the Rumor “Car Geeks Aren’t Popular” from a Woman’s P...

Are Car Geeks Really Unpopular…? When browsing the internet or Twitter, you sometimes come across posts like “Car geeks aren’t popular” or “I can’t get a girlfriend.” But is it really true that car geeks aren’t popular…? After thinking about it for a while… I still believe, Car geeks really aren’t popular. (Or rather, who am I to say!?) I’m fully aware that I’m neither a love guru nor a stunningly beautiful and kind woman...

Mastering the Porsche Boxster GTS (MT) – Until the Day I Can Drive It Confidently Vol.4

I Removed My AT-Only Restriction in 2015 To be able to drive the Boxster GTS (MT), I lifted my AT-only license restriction three years ago. After many ups and downs, there was a time I almost gave up, thinking “Manual driving is just impossible for me.” But last month, when I drove it again after a long break, I started to get a feel for the MT. So last weekend, my husband and I went...
