[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...

Celebrating Porsche’s 70th Anniversary with Events Worldwide! What About Japan…?

This Year Marks 70 Years Since Porsche’s Debut Ferdinand Porsche established his design office in 1931, but the first model bearing the Porsche name, the Porsche 356, was introduced on June 8, 1948. That’s where the history of the Porsche brand began, and this year Porsche celebrates its 70th anniversary. I thought it might be older, but it’s only been 70 years. By the way, the Porsche 356 is currently displayed at the Porsche Museum...

Is a Car a Useless Burden or a Tool to Enrich Life?

To Everyone Who Leaves Comments Lately, I’ve been receiving more comments and messages. Thank you so much. When I first started writing, the number of visitors was really low, and I thought, “No one’s probably reading this Panamera-biased blog anyway… (-_-).” But now, I can imagine the readers ahead of writing each article, and it makes writing worthwhile… I truly feel grateful. Those who comment or message on the blog generally seem to love cars...

The Curious Camaraderie Among Panamera Owners

Riding in a Panamera Among Porsches, it feels like Panamera drivers are quite rare. What you often see are Cayennes, Macans, 911s, Caymans, and Boxsters—basically everything except Panameras, haha. So whenever I spot a Panamera, I can’t help but feel a strange sense of camaraderie. I end up staring intently, and often realize the other driver is staring back… Our eyes meet as we pass, and sometimes I find myself watching them in the rearview...

Which Porsche to Choose: 911, Panamera, or Boxster?

If I Were the Female Version of Kazuo Shimizu The other day, my husband showed my blog to his car-loving younger brother, and apparently he said, “This is just like Kazuo Shimizu, lol.” And honestly, he’s right… It’s obvious from this blog that I’m a Porsche enthusiast. So, even though I’m not as knowledgeable about cars as my car-obsessed husband, but more interested than the average woman, I suddenly wondered: “If I had to pick...

One Day, My Brother-in-Law Might Buy a Panamera Sport Turismo

Car-Loving Brothers Not only my husband but also his younger brother loves cars. It feels quite rare for siblings to both be car enthusiasts. That said, there seem to be different types of car lovers: my husband is more of a car geek, while his brother leans toward the fashion side—he seems to prefer Italian cars like Lamborghini and Maserati, or powerful vehicles in general. Is He Going to Buy a Panamera Turismo!? The other...

Why Porsche Understands Its Strengths and Continues to Evolve

A Troubled Working Adult’s Soliloquy The title of this blog is “Welcome Home, PORSCHE,” but recently the posts have completely turned into the soliloquies of a Porsche-loving working adult wrestling with worries. Today, here’s another little story about my concerns. It’s hard to recognize your own strengths by yourself. That’s because they are often expressed unconsciously. When something comes naturally or results come without much effort, that’s often where your true strengths lie. Since you...
