A New GPS Radar Detector I previously wrote a blog post about Cellstar’s socket-type GPS radar detector being very affordable at around 5,000 yen and incredibly convenient, 配線不要、ワンタッチで設置簡単、おすすめGPSレーダー探知機−セルスター ソケットタイプGPSレシーバー and now Cellstar has released a new model called the “GR-91.” My husband quickly bought one and started using it at home, so today I want to share the differences compared to the previous model.

Which Watch Suits a Porsche? A Woman’s Perspective

Watches and Cars I often see people on Instagram posting photos showing their wristwatch and car steering wheel together. (↓Illustration) *Image source: http://blog.livedoor.jp/itsoku/archives/51795198.html It seems that people who love cars often have a strong interest in watches too. I’m not very knowledgeable about watches (actually, I’m pretty clueless about brands and recent trends), but I do have a vague image of what kind of watch I’d like men who drive Porsches to wear. So today,...

Driving a Porsche at Home! I Bought Assetto Corsa for PS4.

My Husband’s Daily Racing Game Practice Almost every day, my husband immerses himself in car racing games on his PlayStation 4 or Xbox. He’s quite serious about it, having purchased a driving setup like the one in the picture, allowing him to practice with a sensation almost akin to driving a real car. The other day, he suddenly announced, “I bought Assetto Corsa!” I couldn’t help but ask, “Wait, what? Why the rush? What got...

The Best Sunglasses for Open-Top Driving – A Husband’s Take from Behind the Wheel of a Po...

Sunglasses for Driving Many people wear sunglasses when driving. I used to say things like “Sunglasses don’t suit me, so I don’t need them” or “I’m afraid people will think I’m showing off”, but seeing a surprisingly high number of female drivers around the neighborhood wearing sunglasses, I ended up sneaking some on myself (laughs). While wearing sunglasses, I often think “It’s easier to drive,” but sometimes I find it a bit hard to see...

Tried Google Maps on Apple CarPlay with iOS 12 Right Away!

iPhone iOS 12 Update Apple released iOS 12 for iPhones and tablets on September 13 local time. With this update, Google Maps became available on Apple CarPlay. Apple CarPlay lets you use apps like music, messaging, calls, and navigation from your smartphone directly on your car’s display. The navigation system in our current Panamera is usable to some extent, but sometimes after getting stuck in traffic, it shows a bright red congestion display (slow, haha),...

Meaning of the “N (Number)” on Porsche Certified Tires and Behind the Scenes ...

The “N○” on Porsche Certified Tires The other day, while researching certified tires for the Panamera on Porsche Japan’s official site, I noticed something interesting in the specs column next to the tire names: notations like “N0, N1, N2, N3, N4”. I learned that “N” stands for the German word “NORM” (standard, regulation, norm), indicating certification, but what does the number next to the N mean? Checking Porsche Japan’s official “Porsche N Mark” page, it...

Upgrading My Laptop! – Which Notebook Is Best for Bloggers?

One Day, My Mac Screen Went Completely Black About a month ago, the MacBook Air I had been using broke down. Given my rough handling and my youngest daughter scratching and dropping the screen… it’s actually amazing it lasted this long. One day, after closing the laptop as usual and reopening it a while later, the Mac was completely unresponsive with a black screen. Although it could still charge, no matter what I tried, the...

About Radar Detectors Many people have a “radar detector” installed in their cars. Until about three years ago, our family used a “dashboard-mounted LCD type” device.

5 Tips for Beautiful Photos of Your Beloved Porsche – Boxster, Panamera, and More

I’m on Instagram I also have an Instagram account (mostly posting Porsche photos), and when I scroll through my feed (if that’s what it’s called), I see so many beautifully shot photos of beloved cars. It’s really enjoyable and, above all, a great way to learn about photography. I used to take car photos without thinking about composition at all, but since starting Instagram, I’ve developed the feeling that “If I’m going to take photos...
