Why I Like to Remove the Emblems from My Beloved Cars

Going Emblemless on My Beloved Car I ordered my manual transmission car back in April, but production and delivery dates are still uncertain. While researching delivery info and browsing images online to see if I could improve the specs, my husband said this to me: “That car would look cleaner and cooler without the emblem on the back, don’t you think?” Hearing that, I searched online for images of the car both with and without...

Is Porsche Prone to Breakdowns? The Truth from Owning Seven Porsches

I often receive questions on the blog about “Porsche malfunctions,” and my husband has written an article on this topic. Please take a look if you’re interested.

While driving these cars, I decided to summarize the...

At Least 57 Readers Bought a Porsche After Reading This Blog!

Voices Reaching the Porsche Blog This Porsche blog was launched in June 2017. With my husband’s help, we decided to seriously run the blog and switched from Hatena Bookmark to our own domain in April 2018. Since then, we have been continuously improving and writing articles, and it’s hard to believe that almost three years have passed. Over time, we have received many messages after consulting about Porsche purchases saying, “I bought one!” or “This...

The Proper Way to Warm Up Your Porsche

Warming Up Your Porsche The other day, I received this question on Twitter: Could you please tell me about warming up, including for the GTS? I feel like the idle stabilizes around when the water temperature gauge reaches about 70°C in roughly 20 minutes, so I try to start driving after that… but since there’s no clear rule, I’m still experimenting. That was the question. Back when I wasn’t interested in cars, I had no...

How to Buy a Porsche｜You Really Need to Test Drive to Understand Porsche

You Understand Porsche by Test Driving It My husband recently had the chance to test drive the new Cayenne E-Hybrid at the dealer, and he said something that really stuck with me. I think this applies to other brands too, but especially with Porsche, no matter how much you hear about it, you just don’t get it until you actually test drive one. The new hybrid I drove recently was even better than I expected....

Owner’s Perspective on Unusual Noises in Porsche

Completion of 911 Cabriolet Delivery Procedures The final delivery procedures for the 991 Cabriolet (992 model) were completed recently, and if all goes well, it should be delivered by mid-September. I wasn’t able to attend the delivery procedures myself as I’m currently back home for childbirth, but I hope to write an article about that experience later. By the way, for this 911 Cabriolet, we decided on a simple, timeless specification after much deliberation. The...

How Do You Handle Oil Changes and Maintenance for Your Porsche?

Oil Change for the Porsche GT3 The other day, I received a question from a reader on the blog. I switched from a 718 Cayman to a 718 Spyder. In your article One-Year Inspection at the Porsche 911 GT3 Dealer: Costs and PCCB Wear?, it seemed like the one-year inspection details didn’t include it, but did you have the transmission oil changed during the initial inspection? If possible, I’d love to hear your thoughts on...

Explaining “Porsche” in the Style of Milk Boy’s Manzai Comedy

My husband works in IT, and it seems that recently there’s been a bit of a trend in the IT world where people explain technical info using manzai comedy in the style of Milk Boy. Inspired by that, my husband wrote an article about Porsche “in the style of Milk Boy.” (Just like the real Milk Boy, this is his personal take.) Milk Boy is a manzai comedy duo who won last year’s M-1 Grand...

Porsche Trivia You Can’t Ask Now – Tire Grinding Noise, Brake Squeal, and More

Porsche Trivia It’s been two and a half years since I started this Porsche blog. I’ve kept writing daily, and before I knew it, I’ve published over 700 articles. Wow, that’s a lot of writing. Recently, even articles I wrote a long time ago or had forgotten about have been getting a lot of views, making me often think again, “Oh right, that’s what Porsche is all about.” So today, I want to revisit some...

The More You Drive, the More You Appreciate Your Porsche

About the Panamera The other day, I wrote an article saying that I feel at ease when driving the Panamera and that I really like it, 妻をクルマ好きにしたいなら、ポルシェ パナメーラ – 私のクルマ人生はここから始まった。 and around the same time, my husband, who hadn’t driven the Panamera in a while, said this to me: The Panamera has gotten so much better. It’s become more supple and even smoother; it’s completely different from right after delivery. I guess the suspension and...
