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.

Typical Porsche Owner Story? Why Many Owners Switch from the Latest Models to Their Prede...

Porsche’s Return to Its Roots The other day, my husband was talking about something. He said, “Among the people I know, quite a few buy relatively new Porsche models, gain experience, and then gradually switch to older models or add them to their collection. It’s like a kind of Porsche ‘return to the ancestors’ (laughs). For example, some who drove the latest 991 (992 generation) gradually went back to the late 991, then the early...

Why My Porsche-Loving Husband Has Never Opposed Anything I Wanted to Do

A Husband Who Opposes vs. A Husband Who Supports The other day, when we gathered with relatives at my husband’s parents’ house, I met my husband’s younger brother’s wife after a long time. She and I are close in age, and since I started my own business and she also runs her own shop, we often talk about various things when we meet. Recently, she shared this with me. Until now, my husband has never...

Can You Drive a Porsche Convertible on Rainy Days? The other day, I received this question. Is it okay to drive a Porsche convertible on rainy days? Are there any precautions I should take?

To get straight to the point, you can definitely drive a...

I Just Signed the Contract for the New Fairlady Z!

The other day, my husband came home from work and said as soon as he walked in the door: “I bought a Fairlady Z.” Wha—what!? I asked, “Weren’t you supposed to be at work today?” He said he had visited a client for work but finished early, so he thought, “I wonder if I can actually buy a Fairlady Z?” He called the Nissan dealer, stopped by, and ended up buying it. (laughs) He wrote...

Can Wide-Body Cars Really Be Used Daily? My Experience Owning a Porsche Cayenne and Panamera

Daily Use of the Porsche Panamera and Cayenne Based on my experience owning a Porsche Panamera for four years (970 Panamera Edition, 971 Panamera Turbo) and a Cayenne E-Hybrid (third-generation Cayenne) for two years, I’d like to share my thoughts on using wide-body cars daily. To get straight to the point, wide-body cars are hard to use daily in Japan. Both the Panamera and Cayenne have a width of about 1,940mm and a length of...

Impressions of Top Gun Maverick: Why My Husband Went to See It Multiple Times

Top Gun Maverick The other day, I went to the movie theater to watch Top Gun Maverick. It’s the sequel to the original Top Gun released 36 years ago, starring none other than Tom Cruise. My husband told me that the original Top Gun featured a Porsche 356 and Kawasaki motorcycles, and including its storyline and world view, it completely captured the hearts of young people at the time. The eagerly awaited sequel, Top Gun...

5 Years of Porsche Blogging! What I Gained and Learned from Running This Blog

I started this Porsche blog exactly five years ago. Back in June 2017, just a few months after my second daughter was born, I casually launched this blog. At the time, I never imagined it would grow into a blog read by so many people five years later. So today, on this five-year milestone, I want to look back on the journey of running this blog and share what I’ve gained along the way. A...

“Negotiations Are Diplomacy Between Nations” — A Porsche Owner’s Way of Working

Negotiations are diplomacy between representatives of nations. The other day, I wanted a little encouragement regarding a work decision, so I consulted my husband about it. Usually, I don’t often discuss work matters with him. However, since “the decision I was about to make” and “the advice I received from others” were somewhat different, I wanted to hear what conclusion he would reach if he were in my situation. I won’t go into details, but...
