What’s Going On This Year? Porsche 911 (Air-Cooled 964) Air Conditioning Isn’t Working

The other day, the air conditioning on our air-cooled Porsche 911 (964 model) stopped working, and my husband wrote an article about it. Please take a look if you’re interested. Air Conditioning on the Air-Cooled Porsche Lately, I’ve been rotating through the Porsches, switching which one I drive each week. As summer approached and the temperatures rose significantly, I decided to take the 964 out for a spin after a while. Starting the engine in...

[Reflection] Terrible! I Scratched My Porsche While Parking!

Scratched the Cayenne… The other day, I scratched the right rear side of my Cayenne. After all the proud talk on this blog about “safe driving” and whatnot, I ended up doing exactly the opposite… To explain what happened: this Sunday (today) is the Hyogo Prefecture governor election, but since I couldn’t make it on the day, I decided to go early voting. When I parked at the nearest facility’s parking lot, I scratched the...

How Do Winter Tires Perform? Driving the Cayenne on Snowy Roads and Winter Highways

Cayenne Equipped with Winter Tires The other day, our Cayenne E-Hybrid was switched to winter tires. To test their performance, we headed north on a day when the northern weather forecast predicted snow, and my husband also tried driving on the Royu Driveway on a snowy day. Here’s our report.

Repainting the Wheels of Our Porsche 911 (964) – Do Cars Have Souls Too?

Repainting the Wheels of the 911 (964) The saying, “things have souls,” really rings true. Even with electronic devices, if you treat them carefully, they work well for a long time. Sometimes, the moment you say, “It’s been acting up lately, so maybe I should replace it,” it suddenly starts working perfectly again. I wonder if the same applies to cars. The other day, my husband had the wheels of our 911 (964) repainted at...

Washing the Porsche Cayenne｜Can the Cayenne Fit in an Automatic Car Wash?

Washing the Cayenne Our Cayenne’s body color is white, but starting around December last year, the dirt really started to show. So my husband tried to wash it once, but The Cayenne is so big that I just can’t reach the middle of the roof. Washing it properly by myself is tough. Maybe it’s better to get a hand wash service. he said. However, the end of the year was hectic, and we couldn’t find...

What’s the Real Fuel Economy of the Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid?

Three Months with the Cayenne E-Hybrid Since Delivery Lately, I’ve been using the Cayenne E-Hybrid mostly for short trips like picking up the kids or running errands nearby, so battery-only driving is more than enough. Before I knew it, I hadn’t put any gas in for two whole months, and the fuel gauge has barely dropped by about 2.5 bars. The little fuel that has been used is because my husband occasionally drives the Cayenne...

Maintenance Costs of the Porsche 911 GT3: Are They Higher Than the 911 Carrera?

Maintenance Costs of the Porsche GT3 The other day, I received a question: “It’s said that the maintenance costs for the GT3 are higher than those for the 911 Carrera, but what exactly is more expensive and by how much?” So, I asked my husband what he thought about it. Hmm… So far, I don’t really feel that the GT3 is significantly more expensive to maintain compared to the 911 Carrera. However, if you frequently...

Riding the Refreshed Porsche 911 (Air-Cooled 964) Felt Like Driving a New Car

Air-Cooled Porsche 911 (964) Time flies—it’s already been two full years since our 964 was delivered. My husband often said, “Thanks to the regular maintenance over these two years, it’s gotten into really good shape! I think it’s getting close to how it felt when it was brand new.” But with the chaos of childbirth and periods when the 964 was parked far from home, I hadn’t driven it at all. ポルシェ911（空冷964型）の足回り全般を純正部品で交換！ 空冷ポルシェ 911（964）の予防整備 –...
