Upgrading My Laptop! – Which Notebook Is Best for Bloggers?

One Day, My Mac Screen Went Completely Black About a month ago, the MacBook Air I had been using broke down. Given my rough handling and my youngest daughter scratching and dropping the screen… it’s actually amazing it lasted this long. One day, after closing the laptop as usual and reopening it a while later, the Mac was completely unresponsive with a black screen. Although it could still charge, no matter what I tried, the...

Recommended Foreign Drama for Porsche Fans – My Husband’s Unusual Way of Watching Movies

Loves Cars but Not Interested in Movies My husband is a self-proclaimed car enthusiast, but when it comes to movies, he seems completely uninterested. On the other hand, I’m quite fond of films and often watch a good number of them on Amazon Prime Video. (Lately, I’ve been watching more on Netflix too.) However, whenever I bring up movie topics with him, his responses are always like “pushing on a curtain”, Me: “That scene was...

The Charm of the Porsche Panamera and My Recent Thoughts – Sharing Rich Moments with Family

About My Former Self Until a few years ago, I think I was a completely different person. Back then, I lived by the belief that “work was my top priority in life.” I prioritized what I wanted to do over my children or family, believing it was absolutely essential to grow year by year and to keep challenging myself at all times. That was my way of life. At that time, I truly believed “I...

5 Tips for Beautiful Photos of Your Beloved Porsche – Boxster, Panamera, and More

I’m on Instagram I also have an Instagram account (mostly posting Porsche photos), and when I scroll through my feed (if that’s what it’s called), I see so many beautifully shot photos of beloved cars. It’s really enjoyable and, above all, a great way to learn about photography. I used to take car photos without thinking about composition at all, but since starting Instagram, I’ve developed the feeling that “If I’m going to take photos...

There Are All Kinds of Salespeople Today, I want to talk about the sales staff at Porsche dealerships. Not long ago, a follower on Instagram contacted me saying, “I recently bought a Porsche, but I have some concerns about how my salesperson handled things. Could you introduce me to your dealer contact, Mina?” Also, I received an email from a blog reader who wrote, “Reading your blog, Mina, I see that your dealer contact keeps...

Is It True That “Porsche Drivers Are Nice People”?

Are Porsche Drivers Nice People? It was during an interview for this blog some time ago. The person I interviewed said, “There are a lot of nice people who drive Porsches.” I think my husband has said something similar before, and it seems many people share that opinion. When I think about the people around me who drive Porsches or those I’ve met at Porsche Experience Days, I really do feel they are all wonderful...
