The other day, my husband had the chance to drive a 981 Boxster GTS with the Sport Chassis, and he wrote about his impressions. We hope you enjoy reading his review. The Porsche Boxster with the Sport Chassis One afternoon, I drove my 981 Boxster GTS with the manual transmission to Royu. By chance, I met a blog reader there who owns a 981 Boxster GTS with PDK. As we chatted, I learned that the...
Our Loaner Car: The BMW 320d (F30) The other day, when I took our BMW 320i in for its annual inspection, the dealership kindly lent us a 320d (F30) as a loaner. I’d expected to get a compact car or something similar, so I was surprised to be handed the keys to such a nice car. Thank you! My husband and I both had a chance to drive the 320d, so today I’d like to...
The Panamera After a Wash Maybe it was the pollen and Asian dust, but our Panamera was looking pretty grimy, so I took it to our usual neighborhood gas station for a hand wash. Since it was dirtier than usual, I opted for an upgraded wash that helps keep dirt from sticking afterward. The wash took about an hour. When I went to pick up the Panamera, it was gleaming like a brand-new car. What...
Back Behind the Wheel of a 911 GT3 The other day, I drove a Porsche 911 GT3 for the first time in a while. I hadn’t been able to drive it for some time because of morning sickness starting late last year, and even after I felt better, I still hadn’t taken it out. It must have been about six months since I last drove it. I used to get so intimidated just by the...
ポルシェ911 GTS（PDK）を試乗させて頂くことができた。わが家の911GT3とどのくらい違うものなのか、パドルシフトで運転してみた感想などを書いた記事。
911 Carrera GTS The other day, my husband borrowed a 911 Carrera GTS from an acquaintance, and we had the chance to drive it for a little while. Today, I’m sharing my impressions. I’m truly grateful that we get to experience so many different Porsches in our everyday lives. It’s a rare opportunity, and I’d like to take this chance to thank my husband’s friends for letting us enjoy their cars (though I doubt they...
My husband often gets the chance to ride in cars owned by friends and blog readers (lucky him! lol). This time, he got to drive a very rare Porsche—one made by RUF. I’m still relatively new to Porsche ownership and have plenty to learn, so I didn’t know the name RUF. When my husband excitedly told me, “I got to drive a RUF!” I replied, “Wait, a Nissan Roof (-_-)? (He meant a Nissan Leaf.)”...
718 Boxster GTS About a year ago, I had the chance to drive an acquaintance of my husband’s 718 Boxster GTS with a manual transmission. At the time, though, I could barely drive a manual, so my husband told me on the spot: “Maybe you’d better sit this one out, Mina. You’ll wreck the clutch.” Reluctantly, I gave up my chance to drive the 718 Boxster GTS. That experience became the motivation I needed to...
My husband recently had the chance to drive an acquaintance’s Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS, and he’s written up his impressions. The 911 Targa was a car I once dreamed of owning, so I hope you enjoy reading his take. Behind the Wheel of the 911 Targa 4 GTS The other day, I had the opportunity to drive an early 991.1 Targa 4 GTS, albeit briefly. Around the same time, I’d borrowed an acquaintance’s later...
The other day, I wrote an article called A Day With the 718 Cayman: Is the Base Cayman Really Worth Buying?. Today, I’d like to share part two. Test-Driving the 718 Cayman What’s the Ride Like Without PASM? I’ve previously written about whether the PASM option is worth getting. This 718 Cayman didn’t have PASM, but my husband said: I definitely wouldn’t call the ride harsh. Maybe the 18-inch wheels had something to do with...
