Is the Rumor True That “Porsche Is a Money Machine”?

Is Porsche a Money Machine? I often hear the saying, “Driving a Porsche increases your income.” But it’s not that “buying a Porsche magically makes your income grow on its own.” Rather, purchasing a Porsche sparks a feeling of “I need to work harder to maintain it,” or encourages you to find smarter ways to earn money. So, of course, this all depends on the individual’s own effort, but looking around, I do feel there’s...

Is Owning Two Porsches a Viable Option or Not?

The Dream of Owning Two Porsches. Owning two Porsches was something I couldn’t even imagine back when I had no interest in cars at all. I can somewhat understand having two cars for family use, like a minivan and a kei car, depending on the purpose, but two sports cars like Porsches? Especially if both are two-seater convertibles… But now, including my husband, many people around us own multiple Porsches, so when my husband says,...

Let’s Go to the Ends of the Earth Together! The Charm of the Air-Cooled Porsche 911 (964)

The Charm of the Air-Cooled Porsche 911 (964) Recently, my husband had the air conditioning gas refilled at his usual shop because the A/C in our air-cooled Porsche 911 (964) wasn’t cooling well. They also added a fluorescent dye to check whether the gas was leaking somewhere or just naturally decreasing. After driving it for a few days, he planned to bring it back to the shop for inspection. Since the A/C gas refill made...

The Unique Joys of Each Porsche Model

A Long-Awaited Drive in the Air-Cooled Porsche 911 (964) About two and a half years ago, my husband bought an air-cooled Porsche 911 (964 C2) with around 50,000 km on the clock, and now it’s about to surpass 70,000 km. Wow, that’s quite a distance. Over these two years, my husband has performed multiple maintenance sessions on the 964 and replaced some interior parts, bringing it to a really great condition. Every time he drives...

How a Porsche Owner Thinks About “Raising” Their Porsche

Our Porsche 911 (992 Model) The 911 Cabriolet (992 model) was delivered in September. After my husband’s commuting and long-distance touring, the break-in period ended, we even took it to Fuji Speedway, and the oil change is done—now, the mileage has already exceeded 3,800 km. It’s amazing how much it’s been driven in just two months… (laughs) Usually, my husband is the one who drives the 911 Cabriolet. I want to drive it too, but...

Impressions After Driving Our Air-Cooled Porsche 911 (964) Again After a Long Time

Porsche 911 964C2 The other day, I drove our air-cooled Porsche 911, the 964C2, for the first time in a while. The last time I drove it was in the fall of last year, so it had been over six months since I last got behind the wheel. My husband has been driving the air-cooled Porsche quite often lately, and every time he gets in, he says, The 964 is really something special. When I...

Alone in the Boxster on the Royu The other day, my husband was talking with an acquaintance. When he said, “I often go on long tours up to Tohoku,” he was asked, “Do you go with your family?” and he replied, “No, of course I go alone!” which surprised them. When he got home, he said with a grin, That’s obvious. Going solo is the best way, lol. He often says, “Touring is best done...

The Unique Scent of the Air-Cooled Porsche 911 – What Exactly Is That Smell?

The Scent of the Green Porsche Recently, my husband had been commuting in our air-cooled 911 (964). One evening when he came home, our eldest daughter ran up to him saying, “Welcome home~” (When she’s in a good mood, she runs and hugs him, but when she’s not, she completely ignores him… even at five years old, she’s already as changeable as the autumn sky), and said this: Dad smells like the green Porsche (964)!...
