Oil Changes on the Porsche GT3 A reader recently sent in a question for the blog. I switched from a 718 Cayman to a 718 Spyder. In your article, Porsche 911 GT3 One-Year Service at the Dealership: What Did It Cost? How Much Did the PCCB Wear?, I didn’t see a transmission oil change listed on the one-year service invoice. Did the dealership change the transmission oil at the first service? If you don’t mind,...
My husband works in IT, and lately, it seems to have become a bit of a trend in the tech world to explain technical topics through comedy routines inspired by Milk Boy. So he took the cue and wrote an article about Porsche in the style of their comedy sketch.(Just like the original Milk Boy routine, these are personal opinions.) Milk Boy is the comedy duo that won last year’s M-1 Grand Prix after earning...
Porsche Facts and Tips It’s been two and a half years since I started this Porsche blog. I’ve kept writing day after day, and before I knew it, I’d published more than 700 posts. I had no idea I’d written that many! Lately, some of my older posts—including ones I’d forgotten I’d written—have been getting plenty of traffic. Revisiting them has often made me think, “Oh, that’s right. That’s what owning a Porsche is like.”...
A Few Thoughts on the Panamera The other day, I wrote about how reassuring it feels to drive the Panamera—and how much I love 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。 Around the same time, my husband took the Panamera out for the first time in a while and said: “The Panamera has gotten so much better. The ride is more supple and even smoother than before—it’s nothing like it was right after delivery. I guess once...
How to Shift Up in the GT3 The other day, my husband came home after his usual drive in the GT3 and told me something fascinating. Six months after taking delivery, I finally figured out how to work the manual transmission in the GT3 (991.2)! I knew that with the 991.2 GT3, you don’t need to lift off the throttle to shift up, so until now, I’d been keeping the throttle steady while shifting. But...

911 Speedster Production The other day, news broke that the new 911 Speedster had finally entered series production. ついにポルシェ 新型911スピードスターが、量産体制に！ My husband was unusually excited, exclaiming, “That’s incredible!” I agreed that putting the Speedster into production was big news, but asked him, “Is it really that incredible?” He explained: Cars launching in Europe are going to need a GPF (gasoline particulate filter). I was worried that the 911 Speedster might have to lose power—or, in...
The Grand Tour Takes a Closer Look at the 917 The BBC’s famous motoring show Top Gear introduced audiences to its original presenting trio: Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May. Their Amazon Prime Video series, The Grand Tour, is just as entertaining—and many of you have probably already watched it. *Image source: Amazon Prime’s The Grand Tour (subtitled version) By the way, Jeremy Clarkson, the main presenter (?) pictured in the center, was born...
