2018.06.04Our Car Life, How to Buy a Porsche

Visited the Porsche 70th Anniversary Fair! Inside the showroom and novelty goods.

Porsche 70th Anniversary Fair Yesterday, I went to the “Porsche 70th Anniversary Fair” held at the Porsche Center. It was also a good chance to get an oil change before heading to Fuji Speedway on June 16th and 17th. (I plan to write a separate article later about the oil change cost and details.) And honestly, I also wanted the novelty luncheon mat (lol). *Source: Porsche 70th Anniversary page I was planning to go alone...

Our Daily Conversations as a Car-Loving Couple Are a Bit Crazy, After All

About My Husband’s and My Personality Suddenly, but… I’m the type who thinks “It’s fine as long as I roughly understand things.” I’m satisfied with about 60% understanding, and since I get bored easily, I tend to go wide and shallow on everything. Also, when I buy electronics, I almost never read the manuals. Reading thick manuals is just too much hassle (plus, I’m not great with printed text to begin with), and I figure...

Took Photos of the Porsche Panamera in Kobe!

Whether to Leave the Kids at Daycare When my eldest daughter was born, I was desperate to get her into daycare as soon as possible. As a first-time parent, I had no breathing room and couldn’t handle being with her all day, so I started daycare when she was just six months old. On the other hand, with my second daughter, I’m completely under the spell of the “second child magic”… she’s so adorable that...

5 Things Women Should Keep in Mind on a Driving Date with a Car-Loving Man

Cars Make It Easier to Talk About Things You Usually Don’t When you’re in a car, it somehow feels easier to talk about things you don’t usually discuss. When we go on long drives as a family, the kids usually fall asleep on the way back, so during that time, my husband and I talk about all sorts of things. Recent updates, changes in feelings, what’s important right now, work… Somehow, it’s much easier to...

Tickets for Porsche Experience Day 2018 on June 17 (Sun) Have Arrived!

Porsche Experience Day 2018. Yesterday, Mr. H, our Porsche dealer representative, kindly delivered the “Porsche Experience Day 2018” tickets right to our home. Inside were guest passes like this, and parking tickets. You need to show this parking ticket to park in the guest parking area. (I took photos but they were too dark and poor quality, so I borrowed these images.) Apparently, just from our dealer alone, 500 tickets have already been sold, so...

The Biggest Reason Husbands Face Opposition from Wives When Buying a Porsche

Sharing a Car Hobby as a Couple I often receive comments and messages on my blog, many of which say things like “I’m jealous that you and your spouse share a car hobby.” It makes me wonder, “Are most wives really not interested in cars?” …Until about three years ago, I had absolutely no interest in cars. In fact, I used to think, “Cars are such a luxury, totally unnecessary in life! Spending money on...

Living a Life Doing What I Want — Why I Write a Porsche Blog

A Long-Overdue Couple’s Talk Yesterday, since our kids both went to bed unusually early, my husband and I had a rare deep conversation about life. And sober too (neither of us drinks). I can’t even remember how the topic came up, but it turned into this: “Successful people in the world all say the same thing, don’t they? They all say, just do what you want to do.” From there, we ended up talking about...

A Parade of Porsches at Cafe Seven – Including the 911 GT3 RS and 911 Turbo S

Truly a Mecca for Car Enthusiasts The other day, when I visited Cafe Seven, there were so many rare Porsches that it really lived up to its reputation as a haven for car lovers. (Just like this. Besides Porsches, there were also Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and BMWs.) Today, I’d like to introduce some of the Porsches that were there. ① Boxster (986) It was parked with the top down and looked incredibly cute. ② Cayman GT4...

Visited “Cafe Seven,” the Mecca for Car Enthusiasts in Tsukigase!

The Mecca for Car Lovers: The Cafe This morning before noon, my husband said, “There’s this cafe called Cafe Seven, a mecca for car lovers, and a custom leather glove shop is setting up there just for this weekend. Want to go?” (This thing ↓) “Cafe Seven is in Tsukigase, so you can also enjoy touring around there, and you can drive on the Nara Nürburgring(a road nicknamed the Nürburgring of Nara) too.” He said....

This Is a Must-Go! Porsche Experience Day at Fuji Speedway on June 16 (Sat) & 17 (Sun)

Porsche Experience Day The other day on Twitter, a fellow Porsche enthusiast posted, “Shall we go to the Porsche Experience Day on June 16 (Sat) and 17 (Sun)?” The Porsche Experience Day is a special program held at Fuji Speedway in conjunction with events like the Porsche Carrera Cup, celebrating Porsche’s 70th anniversary. Ferdinand Porsche established his design office around 1930, but the first model bearing the Porsche name, the Porsche 356 No1 Roadster, debuted...
