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...

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...
