Driving the Porsche Boxster GTS on the Royu Driveway from New Year’s Day!

Hello! 2018. 2018 has arrived. No sooner had we eaten osechi and ozoni in the morning than my husband and eldest daughter headed out for a drive on the Royu Driveway. Usually, when the two of them go to Royu, they take the Boxster GTS, and today was no exception—they drove with the roof down. They’re such a close father-daughter pair—truly heartwarming. My husband insists our daughter will never get an automatic-only license, but I...

Considering the Dynamic Between a Husband Who Wants a Porsche and a Wife Who Says No

Conflicting Intentions Between Husband and Wife When browsing online, I often come across posts like “I told my wife I wanted to buy a Porsche, but she opposed it,” “Because my wife wouldn’t approve a Porsche, we ended up with a family car instead.” I don’t know the full details, but of course, if you suddenly say to your wife, “I want to buy a Porsche!” she’s likely to refuse. It’s like in sales when...

Exploring the Real Reasons Why Women Aren’t Interested in Cars

Why Women Aren’t Interested in Cars It’s often said that “women aren’t interested in cars.” The reasons given usually include: ・The cost of maintenance is high ・They feel uneasy about driving ・They’re fine just riding in the passenger seat ・They’re afraid of the risks if they get into an accident These reasons do make sense. But I believe the main reason women aren’t interested in cars is that there are very few women around them...

A Refined Lady at the Supermarket Complimented My Panamera

A Stranger Lady The other day, I went shopping at COOP with my daughter and parked the Panamera in the lot. When we returned, there was a Volvo parked next to us, and a well-to-do-looking lady stepped out. The moment she saw the Panamera, she said, “What a lovely car! It’s my first time seeing one—what kind of car is it?” Caught a bit off guard, I replied, “Oh, it’s a Porsche Panamera.” Then she...

Recent Struggles with Running the Blog

Having Trouble Writing Articles Lately, I haven’t been able to write blog posts. It’s not that I was too busy to find time to write… well, I am busy, but I’ve managed to carve out time before despite that. So why couldn’t I write? Because I haven’t had a single chance to really unleash the Panamera’s true potential. I drive the Panamera every day and notice things, but I always end up concluding, “On everyday...

Parking a Panamera in front of Tenmabashi Station – OMM Parking Lot Recommended

To Keihan City Mall Parking Lot The other day, I had a work appointment in Tenmabashi, so I took my second daughter along and headed there in the Panamera Turbo. The parking lots I checked beforehand mostly had width limits under 1900mm, so I thought, “Oh, the Keihan City Mall parking lot might work,” and looked into it. It only mentioned a “height” restriction. (By the way, the height limit is up to 2.1m.) I...

I Tried Writing an English Blog About the Panamera The other day, I wrote an article about “Maybe I should try writing an English blog about the Panamera,” and on November 29, I actually wrote one article. Well, rather than writing from scratch, I decided to translate the articles I had already posted on this blog into English one by one, so I didn’t have to come up with new topics—but still, it took quite...

Panamera Parking – Kobe Harborland’s umie Is Surprisingly Good

Heading to Kobe Harborland Parking spots that can accommodate a Panamera are limited. Especially in the city, whether in Osaka or Kobe, whenever you go somewhere, you have to check “Is parking okay? Is there a spot that fits this ‘size’?”. (If the parking is too tight, I often change my destination.) In that context, umie at Kobe Harborland is highly recommended. Why? Because it meets these conditions: ・Covered parking ・Spacious spots per car ・No...

Received a Porsche Model Photo Calendar at My Boxster’s 1-Year Inspection

Novelty Goods The other day, I took my Boxster GTS in for its second one-year inspection. Mr. H, my dealer’s representative, came to pick it up from my home. The inspection itself was completed in half a day, and by night, the Boxster was back home. At that time, Mr. H brought some novelty goods, which included two different items. What’s this? …The black one is clearly a calendar. I think many people who have...
