How Our Family’s Car Choices Have Evolved: Fun Driving, Comfort, or Compactness?

As our children were born and grew up, our car life changed. Before we had kids, my husband drove a sports car he’d owned since his single days, but as our children arrived and grew, our criteria for choosing cars shifted dramatically. Also, my own views and values about cars changed significantly, influencing our later car choices. Choosing cars that fit our family’s changing situation and my evolving values each year. Honestly, I don’t know...

So Glad I Took the Plunge and Bought a Porsche｜Reflecting on 2023 and Goals for 2024

Belated Happy New Year to everyone. I look forward to your continued support this year as well. I started this blog in June 2017. Now that it’s 2024, this June will mark a full seven years of blogging. It feels both like time has flown by and that it’s only been seven years—a strange feeling indeed. Since it’s the start of the year, in this post I’d like to look back on my journey since...

Six Months with the Porsche 911 Carrera T｜My Honest Thoughts After Owning It

The Carrera T Is Seeing Less Action It’s been six months since I took delivery of my 911 Carrera T.My first Porsche, and after much deliberation, I chose the Carrera T. The driving experience is incredible. Light, agile, with outstanding handling, and the manual transmission is so much fun—I have no complaints about the driving at all. In fact, the Carrera T is just amazing. But lately, I’ve been driving the Carrera T less and...

Finally Meeting My Dream Porsche Driver After Five Years!

Sapphire Blue Boxster, Mr. Wata The other day, after about five years of wanting to meet him, I finally got the chance to meet someone I had admired for a long time. His name is Mr. Wata. After running an Alpina blog, he now operates the Porsche Boxster blog, “Wind & Light, Boxster.” Mr. Wata’s beloved 981 Boxster has an incredible current mileage of 230,000 kilometers (and it’s probably even more by now). In Japan,...

Why I Bought a Porsche: Three Mindset Changes After My Purchase

Why Did I Buy a Porsche Myself? Recently, I purchased a Porsche 911 Carrera T with my own money, and today I want to write about why I was so determined to buy a Porsche with my own funds. Fortunately, my household already has several Porsches owned by my husband, so I could have driven one every day if I wanted. Because of that, if it was just about the desire to drive or ride...

Experience the GT4RS at Porsche Experience Center (PEC) Tokyo!

Heading to Porsche Experience Center (PEC) Tokyo Last week, my family and I visited the Porsche Experience Center Tokyo (PEC Tokyo) in Chiba Prefecture. This was our second visit, the first being back in November two years ago. There were two reasons for going to PEC Tokyo this time. First, I received an invitation to PEC Tokyo when I purchased my new Carrera T. The second reason was that my husband obtained a driving lesson...

Pre-Delivery Procedures for the Porsche 911 Carrera T The other day, I went to complete the pre-delivery procedures for the 911 Carrera T. I thought it was still far off, but before I knew it, time had flown by. Until now, I had accompanied my husband to his Porsche pre-delivery appointments, but since I wasn’t the buyer, I never really paid close attention to what documents were signed or what exactly was done. (With kids...

The Growth Story Until I Got My Porsche｜On Systematizing for Business Success

What Is Our Company’s Service? Recently, I wrote an article about how my awareness of earning money has increased. When I ordered my first Porsche, a 911 Carrera T, at the end of last year, “If the loan application doesn’t get approved, I’ll give up. It probably won’t pass… Considering my current financial situation, it’s better to buy it two or three years from now.” I thought that, and to be honest, I even thought,...
