From Dreaming of the Z32 to Making the Purchase Unfortunately, I ended up selling my Fairlady Z NISMO after just five months. Delivered in early February 2025, this car was the realization of a long-held dream. That dream dates back to the era of the Z32. As a child, I was captivated by its sleek silhouette and always hoped to own a Fairlady Z someday. By the time the Z33 came out, I was already...
After completing the 1,500-kilometer break-in period with the 718 Spider RS, I switched back to my beloved 981 Boxster GTS for the first time in a while. The Spider RS’s incredible drivability made me briefly wonder, “Do I even need the 981 anymore?” But after driving both, it became clear they have completely different personalities. Even though they’re both Boxster models, the differences surprised me. It’s like choosing between eating yakiniku with sauce or with...
Impressions on the Highway: Underwhelming in the Slow Lane, True Potential Unleashed in the Fast Lane Taking advantage of a business trip to Nagoya, I embarked on a break-in tour with my freshly delivered 718 Spider RS, covering the mountain roads from Kiso to Shinshu. Although the Shinkansen was an option, I chose to travel in the Spider RS to fully experience the car. In total, I covered about 800 km and successfully completed the...
Stress-Free Enjoyment of the Spider RS Even in City Driving After logging about 600 kilometers with the Spider RS, I’ve made a significant discovery. No matter what road I’m on—city streets, mountain roads, or highways—I can fully savor the engine’s charm without feeling any stress from not being able to enjoy the GT3 engine. With my previous GT3 Touring, pressing the accelerator to enjoy the engine’s full potential and sound in the city often meant...
Striking Racing Yellow! First Encounter with the Spider RS The long-awaited 718 Spider RS has finally arrived. Seeing it for the first time in Racing Yellow truly confirms it as a standout color. In today’s lingo, it’s the quintessential “eye-catching” color. It commands attention against any backdrop without losing its presence. This color scheme deliberately tames the expansive yellow with black accents. By painting the PCCB brakes black and keeping the wheels black, the design...

Evolved Carrera T – Changes in Exterior and Interior I had the opportunity to test drive the 992.2 Porsche 911 Carrera T, the later model of the 992 series. Since I also drove the earlier 992.1 Carrera T, I can share my impressions while comparing the two. Starting with the exterior, at first glance, there’s hardly any difference between the earlier and later models. Even as someone well-versed in Porsche, it’s difficult to tell them...
