What You Should Do First When You Decide “Someday I Want a Porsche”

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)....

Changing the Wheels on My Porsche 911 (992)! Impressions After Upgrading from 19/20-inch ...

Giving My Porsche 911 (992) a Fresh New Look It’s been just over two years since I bought my current Porsche 911 (992 model) Carrera Cabriolet. While mainly using it for everyday driving, I’ve also taken it to driving schools, run it on the circuit, and gone on grand tours. The mileage has now surpassed 13,000 km. Since I only drive about 6,000 km per year, I still feel like I haven’t truly mastered the...

I Read Various Car Blogs Since I write a Porsche blog, I often find myself reading all kinds of car blogs. Every time I read them, I think, “Everyone really loves cars, don’t they?” When I look at blogs about my current beloved car, the Swift Sport, I see people changing parts and customizing their cars to suit their driving preferences, which shows how much they enjoy their car life. It’s very educational. But on...

Four Key Moments That Led Someone With No Interest in Cars to Decide to Buy a Porsche 911

Deciding to Buy a 911 Right now, I’m actually at the point of deciding whether or not to buy my very first Porsche: a 911. I don’t know if I’ll get an allocation to purchase one, so there’s a good chance I might not be able to buy it, but the fact that I’ve made the decision to buy is a big deal for me. In the past, I never imagined that I would ever...

The Newly Announced 911 Carrera T: Will My Husband Buy It or Not?

Introducing the New Carrera T The new 911 Carrera T was announced recently. The Carrera T is a pure sports car that achieves lightweight and simplicity by stripping away various elements. When the Carrera T was revived in 2017 with the 991 model, Porsche’s newsroom introduced it under the title “Less is more,” which left a strong impression. It truly is a genuine 911. By the way, when the 991 Carrera T was released, the...

“Learn by Doing!” My Mistakes Until I Mastered Driving a Porsche Manual Transmission

Driving a Manual Transmission The other day, I wrote an article titled “I Finally Mastered Blipping the Boxster! Manual Driving Is Fun,” ポルシェのMT車の運転が何倍も楽しくなる!MT車のブリッピングをついに習得。 and received a message saying, “I’d love to read about the kinds of mistakes you made while learning to drive a manual,” so today I want to share that story. I think I struggled with driving a manual more than most people and made plenty of mistakes along the way (laughs). It...

Driving a Porsche MT Becomes So Much More Fun! Finally Mastered Blipping.

A Long-Awaited Boxster Drive Yesterday, I drove the Boxster (981 GTS) for the first time in a while. Whenever I get behind the wheel of our Porsche, I always write “It’s been a while…,” but this time, I honestly couldn’t even remember the last time I drove the Boxster—it had been that long. Usually, I drive my beloved Swift Sport (MT). It’s been a year since I took delivery, and I drive it almost every...

From Paper Driver Wife to Manual Transmission Driver I used to have no interest in cars at all and was a paper driver for over 10 years after getting my license. After marrying my husband, I gradually became interested in cars, and over about six years, I was able to comfortably drive a Porsche Boxster (981 GTS) manual transmission, and now my current beloved car is a Suzuki Swift Sport with a manual transmission.
