The Air-Cooled Porsche 911 (964) Is Simply Wonderful My husband has always said, when driving the 992 911, “The 992 really is great~,” and when behind the wheel of the air-cooled 964 Porsche 911, “The 964 really is something else~.” But lately, his words have started to change a bit.

Driving the Cayenne on the Highway in a Torrential Downpour

Driving the Cayenne in a Torrential Downpour The other day, I had the chance to drive the Cayenne on the Chugoku Expressway during a heavy downpour. I’ve driven the Cayenne in the rain many times before, but this rain was truly intense—like being inside an automatic car wash. Even in those conditions, the Cayenne felt incredibly stable and smooth, as if the rain wasn’t even there. Of course, I drove more cautiously than usual—slowing down...
