If You Can’t Immediately Say “Minivan” When Asked What Car You Want After Having Kids, Yo...

A post by Nob, whose updates I often see on X. They’re always entertaining, so I can’t help but stop and read. Car-loving men who are a headache for women looking to get married. But apparently, you can tell whether a man will make a good husband with one simple question. “Ask him what kind of car he’d want if you had kids! If he doesn’t immediately say ‘minivan,’ he’s definitely a loser!” That’s the...

“Someday, a Porsche.” What It Takes to Turn That Dream into Reality

Last May, I bought my first Porsche: a 911 Carrera T. I now drive a Taycan 4S Cross Turismo, but when I started this blog seven years ago, I never imagined this is where life would take me. Of course, I’d always thought, “Someday, I’d love to own a Porsche.” I even wrote about the trial and error of figuring out what it would take to buy one. But back then, it was more of...

Our Tesla Has Arrived! (Part 2) | The Drive Is Beyond Expectations—Has It Outdone Porsche?

In Part 1, I shared my first impressions, from delivery and a tour of the interior and exterior to driving around town using the one-pedal driving mode. This time, I’ll focus on how the Model 3 feels on the highway and on winding roads. On the Highway: Like Riding the Shinkansen “Nozomi” On the highway, the Model 3 feels just like riding the Shinkansen’s “Nozomi” service. It accelerates smoothly away from the tollbooth and reaches...

Our Tesla Has Arrived! (Part 1) | Tesla Model 3 Highland Long Range Delivery Day

In this article, I’ll take you through delivery day, walk around the exterior and interior, and share my impressions of how it drives on winding roads—something I couldn’t gauge during the test drive.

A Tesla Is Coming Home|Why a Porsche Owner Ordered a Tesla Model 3

Discovering the Appeal of EVs in the Porsche Taycan It’s been a month since our Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo arrived. My wife drives it most of the time, but I get behind the wheel now and then, and it’s given me a fresh appreciation for what makes EVs so appealing. Of course, EVs have their drawbacks. But for everyday driving, they’re so convenient that it’s hard to see what a gasoline or diesel car does...

Selling My Carrera T After 8,000 km: Why I Let It Go and What I Bought Next

At the very end of last year, I sold my 911 Carrera T. It had 8,000 km on the clock. It was the first Porsche I’d bought with my own money—and it was truly mine. I’d carefully chosen the spec, and driving it was an absolute thrill. I spent a long time wrestling with the decision to let it go. Today, I’d like to share why I finally sold it, and tell you about the...

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

As our children were born and grew up, our family’s car life changed, too. Before we had children, we drove the sports car my husband had owned since his single days. But as our family grew, so did the priorities that shaped our car choices. My own attitude toward cars—and what I valued in them—also had a major influence on the cars we chose over the years. Our family’s circumstances change year by year, as...

A belated Happy New Year! I hope you’ll continue to follow along this year. I started this blog in June 2017, which means it’ll celebrate its seventh anniversary this June. It feels strange—like the years have flown by, yet somehow it’s hard to believe it’s been seven years already. To mark the start of the year, I’d like to look back at the journey from the beginning of the blog to now, and share my...

Six Months with My Porsche 911 Carrera T: What I Really Think About Ownership

I’ve Been Driving My Carrera T Less It’s been six months since my 911 Carrera T was delivered. It’s my first Porsche, and I spent ages deciding on the perfect specification. It’s incredible to drive: light on its feet, with outstanding handling and a manual gearbox that’s an absolute joy. I have no complaints about how it drives—in fact, the Carrera T is almost too good. But lately, there have been more days when I...
