Oil Change for Porsche 911 GT3 at the Dealer: How Much Did It Cost?

GT3 Surpasses 10,000 Kilometers The 911 GT3 was delivered last May. In just a year and a half, it has already exceeded 10,000 kilometers (currently 10,605 km). Even though my husband often goes touring with other cars, the fact that the GT3 has passed 10,000 km really shows how much he loves driving. Recently, my husband mentioned something about the GT3: The feel of the GT3’s steering wheel has changed a bit. It used to...

Porsche 911 Carrera (992) Oil Change Costs and More

Oil Change for Porsche 911 (992) The other day, my husband already had the oil and filter changed on his 911 Cabriolet (992) at the dealer.

Is There a Way to Prevent Car Tire Punctures?

Tire Punctures Our Panamera at home is approaching its third year since delivery, and it has had three punctures so far. The first and second times were caused by nails stuck in the front tires, and the third was due to tire deterioration, with air slowly leaking from a previously repaired spot.

The Battery on Our Air-Cooled Porsche 911… We currently have six cars at home, but since our driveway can only fit two, we park them in several places like near our neighborhood or my husband’s workplace.

Since it had only been parked there for about a week, I didn’t think...

Hand Wash Car Wash for Porsche Panamera at a Gas Station: Costs and Wash Courses

Panamera’s Dirt When driving the Panamera on the highway, I’m always impressed by its comfort and the stability of the car’s behavior in many ways, but there is one thing I find a bit annoying… That is, after highway driving, the front of the car gets covered with smashed bugs, leaving stubborn stains that make the car quite dirty. Especially when driving at night on the highway, it gets really bad every time. Well, this...

Porsche 911 GT3 Dealer 1-Year Inspection|Costs? PCCB Wear?

Porsche 911 GT3, 1-Year Inspection The other day, my husband took the 911 GT3 in for its dealer 1-year inspection.

While the GT3 was in for inspection, we were kindly lent a 718 Cayman as a loaner,...

Porsche Panamera Tire Change – Impressions of Michelin Pilot Sport 4

Michelin Pilot Sport 4 The other day, I changed the tires on our Panamera, and today I want to share my impressions after driving it a bit with the new tires. The tires our Panamera previously had were the “Pirelli PZERO,” which came as Porsche’s certified tires when we bought the car new. Following a recent puncture, we decided to replace all four tires with “Michelin Pilot Sport 4 Acoustic.” The reason we chose Michelin...
