911 Body Color The other day, I wrote an article about signing the contract for my 911. Since I had written from the very start of this blog that “my goal was to someday buy a Porsche with my own money,” I received many messages from readers. Some long-time readers even said, “I’m so happy, it feels like it’s my own news!” I’m truly grateful for everyone’s warm support. Thank you so much. I can’t...
911DAYS Fuji Speedway Track Day For the past few years, my husband has been taking part in the 911DAYS Fuji Speedway Track Day held every March. The early registration for 911DAYS club members recently opened, and it seems my husband has already signed up. (If I recall correctly, last year it was fully booked before general registration even started…) 【セキ】2023年3月19日、「第11回 911DAYS富士スピードウェイ走行会」を開催します。 Applications are accepted through the ‘911DAYS Club Members’ Mori Community’. If you’re a 911DAYS...
In 2023, the Porsche 911 Arrives Happy New Year! Thank you for continuing to follow “Welcome Home, PORSCHE” in 2023. At the start of the year, my husband posted this as his mission statement for the year on Twitter: #MissionStatementForThisYear ・Focus on interesting, fun things that bring joy to the heart ・Act proactively on what others ask of you ・Be mindful of making others happy in your actions ・Consider problems as your own responsibility and...
Porsche 911 Contract The other day, I finally signed the contract for my very first Porsche, a Porsche 911. I can’t share the details about the model or specifications just yet, but I wanted to take this opportunity to let you know that I have finally signed for the 911 (the photo at the top is of a GT3 we once had at home, so it’s unrelated). I started this blog back in June 2017....
A Frustrating Incident The other day at work, something happened that really frustrated me. I tried to stay calm at the moment, but as soon as I left the building and got into my beloved Swift Sport parked in the lot, a flood of tears suddenly came over me. I started the engine, set my destination home as usual, took deep breaths to calm myself, and kept telling myself, “Calm down, calm down,” before pulling...
Driving Fun or Comfort? In the past, our family always sought “driving excitement” even in our family cars, but recently, things have started to change a bit. This shift came after we began owning a Boxster (981 GTS) and a 911 (964 C2), when my husband said one day: “Having these two cars to enjoy driving is more than enough… Trying to find a family car that focuses on sporty driving just can’t match the...
Unbiased Test Drive Reports On this blog, we regularly share test drive reports mainly focused on Porsche cars. Most of the reports are written by my husband, and all the cars introduced so far have been “our own cars,” “cars owned by my husband’s acquaintances,” or “loaner cars borrowed from dealers during inspections”. None of the reports are commissioned by companies or manufacturers like professional automotive journalists. Because of this, we write our honest impressions...
The Feeling of Partnership with My Beloved Car My husband has often said, “a car isn’t just a means of transportation or an industrial product—it’s a partner.” I once wrote an article titled “It’s not that we go touring with a Porsche; we go touring with the Porsche,” 『ポルシェでツーリングに行く』のではない、『ポルシェとツーリングに行く』のだという件 in which he said, I’ve driven many cars before, but I don’t think any car talks to me as much as a Porsche does while I’m...
Why I Want a Porsche Today, I want to write about what someone who has decided “Someday I want a Porsche” should do first. To get straight to the point, it’s to change your environment. More specifically, I believe it means placing yourself in an environment where Porsche owners are around. That said, I haven’t yet bought a Porsche with my own money, so I can’t speak too authoritatively… (this is just my personal view)....
GLB Delivery Yesterday, the long-awaited Mercedes-Benz GLB finally arrived at our home. It’s a GLB200d 4MATIC, in Iridium Silver, fully loaded with the AMG Line Package, AMG Leather Exclusive Package, Advanced Package, and a panoramic sliding roof. Since the beginning of this year, we had been thinking about replacing our family car, considering options like the Taycan, waiting for the new Cayenne release, or going for the BMW X7… but all those cars turned out...
