Dragon Quest Management Insights The other day, I visited the hair salon run by my husband’s Porsche friend, Takuro-san. I had introduced Takuro-san in this article before. 【ポルシェオーナーの仕事の流儀】これぞプロの接客！想像力、知識、提案力に感動した話 It’s been over a year since I started going to Takuro-san’s salon. 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...

Why High-Performance Cars Like Porsche Become More Fun as Your Driving Skills Improve

When I Could Barely Drive a Manual About five years ago, I could barely drive a manual-transmission car. Whenever I got behind the wheel of the only manual car in our household at the time, a 981 Boxster GTS, I’d think, “I’ll never be able to drive a manual.” With every drive, I felt more and more ready to give up. My feet seemed glued to the accelerator and clutch pedals. I was so tense...

How to Keep Driving the Sports Cars You Love After Marriage: 4 Values This Porsche-Owner ...

A Little About Us as a Porsche-Owner Couple This year marks our 10th wedding anniversary. I know, I know—“Who cares?”—but hear me out… lol. We got married in 2012. Naturally, we didn’t have a Porsche back then, and I wasn’t interested in cars at all. So I never imagined that ten years later, my husband and I would be running a Porsche blog together. These days, we run the blog together and host something like...

Japan’s 5 Best Scenic Drives to Take in a Porsche with My Wife Someday

Over Golden Week, I set off on a seven-day, six-night grand tour. Of course, I was traveling alone—or rather, it was a trip for two: me and my Porsche. The plan was simple: seek out great roads and drive, day after day. This year, I toured Shikoku and Kyushu. I’ll share the details in another article, but as I drove, I found myself wondering: when our children are grown and it’s just my wife and...

How Meeting Porsche Owners Changed My Outlook on Life

What Porsche Owners Taught Me About Life Before I started this Porsche blog, I lived by the belief that “work is what gives life meaning” and “giving work your all is the path to a fulfilling life.” After working in sales at a high-pressure company, I started my own business. I watched business owners around me aim for an IPO or work to expand their companies, and I came to believe that if you wanted...

What My Husband Thinks After Driving More Than 50 Porsches

What Do We Really Want from a Car? Since starting this blog, my husband has had the chance to drive a huge variety of Porsches—not just the ones he’s owned, but cars belonging to friends and cars from dealerships, too. “I wonder how many Porsches I’ve driven over the years…” We did the math, and the answer was more than 50. My husband often says something along these lines: “A car isn’t automatically better just...

Why It Matters to Share Your Goals and What You Know Every Saturday, my husband and I chat on Twitter Spaces. We often hear people say, “We’d love to hear you talk about things other than cars, too.” So lately, we’ve sometimes ended up talking about topics that have nothing to do with cars at all. During a recent Space, my husband was talking about the next goal he wants to pursue. It seemed like...

My First Drive Wearing CACAZAN Driving Gloves: Here’s What I Thought

CACAZAN Driving Gloves for My Birthday My husband has owned several pairs of driving gloves for as long as I can remember, and he seems to wear them every time he gets behind the wheel. He’s told me more than once, “Why don’t you get a pair of driving gloves? They make driving easier.” But I’d never given them much thought. The idea of putting on gloves every time I got into the driver’s seat...

I Almost Bought a Porsche Taycan—but Changed My Mind

“How About Switching to a Taycan?” The other day, our Porsche dealership contact got in touch with an enticing question: “Would you consider trading in your Cayenne for a Taycan?” We have a Cayenne E-Hybrid, and we love its spacious rear seats and the way it drives. “We don’t really need to switch, do we…?” we said. Still, we asked the dealer to send over details of any new Taycans in stock that might suit...
