Do You Care What Car You Drive to a Dealer? Does the Dealer Treat You Differently?

What Car Should You Drive to the Dealer? I receive questions and messages from readers every day on the blog. Since some have kindly allowed me to share their inquiries, I thought I’d start featuring these questions and my answers here going forward. So, here’s a question I received recently: Do you feel that dealers or stores treat you differently depending on the car you drive there? Do you pay attention to what car you...

A Porsche Owner’s Way of Working: Fascinating Dragon Quest Management Insights!

Usually, we talk a lot about cars and car life during the treatment, but this time, while coloring my hair, I happened to get a call from a member of my company and ended up...

The Joy of High-Performance Cars Like Porsche Grows with the Driver’s Skill

Back When I Couldn’t Drive a Manual About five years ago, I could barely drive a manual transmission car. Every time I got behind the wheel of the only manual car we had at home, the Boxster GTS (981), I thought, “There’s no way I’ll ever be able to drive a manual car.” My sense of defeat just kept growing. My feet wouldn’t leave the accelerator or clutch pedals, and I half-wondered, “Does the Boxster’s...

Continuing a Life Loving Sports Cars After Marriage: Four Things a Porsche Owner Couple C...

About Us, the Porsche Owner Couple We’ve been married for 10 years this year. I know this might seem like a “Who cares?” kind of story out of the blue… lol We got married in 2012. Naturally, when we were newlyweds, there was no Porsche in our home, and I wasn’t interested in cars at all. So, I never imagined that 10 years later, we’d be running a Porsche blog together as a couple. Now,...

Top 5 Scenic Drives in Japan I Want to Take with My Wife in a Porsche One Day

During Golden Week, I went on a 6-night, 7-day grand touring trip. Of course, it was a solo journey—or rather, a two-person trip with my Porsche—a trip spent every day chasing out great roads and driving hard. This year I toured Shikoku and Kyushu, and I’ll share a detailed report on that in another article. But this time, while driving, I was thinking about which roads I’d want to drive with my wife someday when...

How Meeting Porsche Owners Changed My Life Perspective

The Values of Porsche Owners Before starting this Porsche blog, I lived with the belief that “work is the purpose of life” and “focusing entirely on work leads to a fulfilling life.” After working as a salesperson in a sports-minded company, then starting my own business and witnessing senior entrepreneurs around me aiming for IPOs and expanding their companies, I thought that to achieve results at work, losing private time and spending less time with...

What My Husband, Who Has Experienced Over 50 Porsches, Thinks Now

What Do We Really Want from a Car? Since starting this blog, my husband has had the chance to test drive not only the Porsches he owns but also many others owned by friends and dealers. “I wonder, how many Porsches have I actually driven so far…” When he counted, the number was over 50 cars. He often says things like this: “A car isn’t just about having power or being fast.” I used to...

The Importance of Sharing Your Goals and Information with Others Every Saturday, my husband and I chat on Twitter Spaces, and we often hear requests to talk about topics beyond just cars. Lately, we’ve even had conversations completely unrelated to cars. During a recent Space, my husband was talking about his next personal goal. It seemed like information related to that goal was coming to him from various sources, so I asked him, “How do...

First Drive Wearing CACAZAN Driving Gloves: My Impressions

A CACAZAN Driving Glove for My Birthday My husband has always owned several pairs of driving gloves and never fails to wear them whenever he drives. He had often told me, “Why don’t you get a pair of driving gloves? They make driving easier.” But I never really cared about that, and the thought of having to put on gloves every time I sat in the driver’s seat felt like a hassle, so I never...
