Am I Truly Living My Life Now? – LIFE IS SHORT.

Is Being Busy a Good Thing? Most adults living in this world are usually busy. Those who have plenty of free time are either extremely successful or truly doing nothing at all… either way, they are a minority. Most people juggle multiple roles and handle several things simultaneously in their daily lives. “Being busy is a blessing,” people often say, and it’s easy to think that being busy is better than having free time. But...

Driving Suzuka Circuit in a Cayman GT4 — Gran Turismo Sport on PS4

With a PS4 Car Racing Game As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, my husband told me, “Driving the Boxster GTS with a manual transmission is way too fast for you right now. First, get comfortable driving with either PDK or manual on Gran Turismo on the PlayStation,” so my competitive spirit kicked in and I immediately tried out Gran Turismo Sport on our PS4 yesterday. Normally, I’d definitely pick “AT,” but I chose “MT” properly...

Until the Day I Master the Boxster GTS (MT) – Vol.1

Our Boxster Is a Manual Transmission Our Boxster GTS at home isn’t an automatic but a manual. In this era when self-driving cars are said to be just around the corner… a manual?! (LOL) When we bought the Boxster GTS, my husband firmly told me, “Make sure you get your automatic-only license restriction lifted before delivery!” So I arranged my work schedule, found someone to watch the kids, and somehow managed to attend driving school...

Is It True That Men Who Frequently Change Cars Are Unfaithful? – A Wife’s Perspecti...

Is the Rumor True? “I’ve heard that men who frequently change cars are womanizers and unfaithful,” or “people who constantly change watches are also womanizers,” and I sometimes come across such rumors or web articles. But if “frequently changing cars = womanizer and unfaithful,” then what does that make my husband…? (-_-) Just yesterday, I got an email saying, “I bought a Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG Coupe (*ﾟ∀ﾟ)!” (lol). As far as I know, the cars...

Porsche Seriously Modifies the 919 Hybrid, Beats F1 Times to Become Spa’s Fastest

The 919 Hybrid’s Final Season Porsche announced its withdrawal from the WEC after the 2017 season. When I visited the WEC at Fuji Speedway last year, I saw the 919 Hybrid up close and thought, “So this is the car that won Le Mans 24 Hours three times. But this is the last time the 919 Hybrid will come to Japan, so this is really the final viewing.” (*I was able to see the 919...

I Thought Show Cars Were Production Cars! — The Hidden World Around Concept Cars

Article about the Mission E Porsche’s first production electric car, the Mission E. I was thinking, “The Panamera is great, but the Mission E looks so cool too—so futuristic and stylish that once it’s released, it might just shake my feelings for this Panamera.” *Source: Official Porsche Japan Website Then the other day, I came across this article. “Porsche’s first EV ‘Mission E’ shows a glimpse of its true capabilities in the harsh Scandinavian winter!”...

How Could I Be So Silly to Pass Up the Chance to Drive the Romantic Road in a Porsche?

In My 36 Years of Life I’ve lived 36 years so far, and I don’t have many regrets in life. I’ve always done what I wanted at the time, and I love the life I have now. But that doesn’t mean “everything in life has gone smoothly and been fun.” On the contrary, I’ve had more failures than successes, faced many setbacks, and experienced plenty of tough times. However, when faced with the choice of...

[Video Included] My Husband Joined the Porsche Driving School “Warm Up”

“Porsche Track Experience” Have you ever heard of the “Porsche Driving School”? It’s a driving school in Japan for Porsche owners who have held a regular driver’s license for over a year and want to participate using their own Porsche. It was originally called the “Porsche Sports Driving School,” but when I checked the website recently, the name had changed to “Porsche Track Experience.” What exactly is the Porsche Track Experience? The “Porsche Track Experience”...

Don’t Take Photos of Your Car Yourself

A Sunny Sunday at the Higashi-Rokko Observatory Last weekend, when I went to the Higashi-Rokko Observatory on the Royu Driveway, I saw a group of university students with DSLR cameras snapping photos of the cars parked at the observatory. Maybe because the weather was so nice, there were lots of sports cars and supercars like Maseratis, Lamborghinis, Ferraris, and Porsches, and the students were excitedly saying, “Today’s a jackpot!” as they took pictures. I thought,...

First Time Joining the Supercar Gathering @ Royu! Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, and More…

Supercar Gathering @ Royu on Sunday Morning Every Sunday around 8 a.m., there’s a supercar gathering (sort of) at the Royu Driveway’s lookout point. It’s less of a formal meet-up and more of a relaxed, come-as-you-please event where people arrive freely, drive freely, and leave freely. Although I live about a 10-minute drive from the Royu Driveway, I had never actually been there before. That’s because I thought “many people might come just to show...
