Why We Don’t Install Monitors in the Rear Seats of Our Panamera

Monitors in the Rear Seats—Should We Install Them? When we were considering buying a Panamera, my husband casually said, “Should we put monitors in the back seats? So the kids can watch TV back there.” And I immediately replied: No way!! We shouldn’t spoil them like that. Having monitors in the rear seats as a given is not like flying in the ultra-comfortable seats of Singapore Airlines… It’s better if there’s a little inconvenience, like...

Hatena Blog Readers Surpass 100!

Thank You So Much Finally, the blog’s readership has exceeded 100. It’s been 57 days since I started this blog. The spark came when my husband said, “If you love the Panamera that much, why don’t you just start a blog or something?” Taking it lightly, I created a Hatena Bookmark account and began writing my passionate, somewhat niche love for the Panamera. At first, daily visits were just “2” or “5,” so I wrote...

The Story of an Uncle Who Mistook Our Porsche Panamera for a Crown

Visiting My Husband’s Family Home Yesterday, we drove our Panamera back to my husband’s family home for a memorial service with our family of four. After arriving, an uncle from the relatives came over and asked: “Whose is that big white car parked outside?” People around asked, “Whose? What kind of car?” but it was clear he was talking about the Panamera. Since my husband didn’t say anything, I thought it would be strange for...

A Backup Monitor Is Essential for Parking Large Vehicles

Trusting My Eyes Over Technology “Don’t you use the backup monitor?” My husband and mother often ask me that when I’m parking. When parking the Panamera, it’s true that I rarely look at the backup monitor. Instead, I usually rely on checking the side and rearview mirrors. I just don’t trust machines! It’s all about looking with your own eyes! Your own eyes! That’s what I used to say, but really, I just wasn’t used...

A 3-Year-Old Can Instantly Recognize a Passing Car as a Porsche

A Story About Our Eldest Daughter Our eldest daughter, who will soon turn four, has a personality that pays close attention to details. Her kindergarten teacher told me, “Even when she draws, she focuses on the details, carefully observing and trying to reproduce every little part.” On the other hand, I’m a rough-and-ready type who thinks, “Ignore the details, just get the big picture right,” so I often reflect on how completely different our personalities...

Until the Day I Buy a Porsche Panamera with My Own Money

A Change of Heart… Thanks to you, this blog is about to reach 100 readers. I truly appreciate it! It’s been almost two months since I started writing this blog, and something inside me has changed significantly. That is “deciding to buy a Panamera.” You might think, “Haven’t you been saying that all along in the blog?” but it’s a bit different. Before I started blogging, it was more like “It would be nice if...

I Bought Sun-Protection Arm Covers, But Ended Up Throwing Them Away

Arm Covers In summer, I often see women driving while wearing sun-protection arm covers (arm covers). However, I had always pictured arm covers as something only older ladies wear, so I was absolutely determined never to wear them myself. (Even though I’m actually not that young anymore.) But the other day, while driving on the highway, the sunlight was unbearably strong and my arms started to feel like they were burning. I thought, “This is...

Dragon Quest XI Released! The long-awaited Dragon Quest XI was released recently. I’m part of the Dragon Quest generation and used to play Dragon Quest III a lot, so I’m sure many of you in your late 20s to 40s are just as excited about this new release. While browsing the web around the time of the release, I came across something called the “Dragon Quest Life Philosophy.” Apparently, it was a hot topic over...

A Heated Conversation with a Domestic Car Dealer Representative

Meeting at the Car Dealer Yesterday, I had a meeting with representatives from a domestic car dealer. Since my parents were watching the kids that day, I took the train there. (Traveling by train is efficient because I can work on my laptop during the ride.) The manager and some senior executives from the dealer were also present, making it feel a bit like an interview, so I was slightly nervous. After exchanging various information...
