Analyzing my car-loving husband and brother and considering the differences between Porsche and Ferrari lovers.

My Family's Car Life

A story about brothers who love cars

My husband is a self-confessed car enthusiast, and his brother is also a car enthusiast. In a world where people are becoming less and less interested in cars, it is rare to find two brothers who are both car enthusiasts. And just the other day, his brother told meI just bought a Ferrari 488 Spider."I received a call from them. Well, the siblings are all in good feathers...(;)

However, even though they are the same car enthusiasts, my husband and his brother are completely different types.My husband is a car geek Porsche lover, but my brother has driven "BMW", "Maserati", "Lamborghini", "Porsche", and now he bought a Ferrari.Somehow, they seem to like Italian cars more than German cars.

They also look completely different from each other, so it is unlikely that people will notice that they are siblings even when they are together.

The more I see these two.They are like a model case study of the difference between a Porsche lover and a Ferrari lover."(laugh), I decided to think about the "difference between Porsche lovers and Ferrari lovers" by analyzing these two familiar people.

1) Commitment to Fashion

Husband = practicality oriented

The biggest difference between the two of them is their commitment to fashion. My husband has no interest in fashion and wears UNIQLO all year round.(But UNIQLO is cheap and durable, so it's super useful.)They are usually very expensive. Also, most of the time when you go shopping for clothes.I'll buy three of these shirts in different colors.This is the way to buy.

Why don't you look for something a little differently designed?"although

If it's sturdy and comfortable, that's fine, and if it's too much trouble to look for it, I'll just get a different color."

I'll tell you what I do. As for denim, I'll wear it until there are holes in the pockets and buttocks, and if you want.They keep wearing them without even realizing they have holes."Often.

Younger brother = emphasis on appearance

My brother, on the other hand... was the complete opposite of my husband.He has a strong passion for fashion and is very stylishI've never seen them wearing the same clothes and I'm familiar with brand names. I have never seen them wearing the same clothes and I am familiar with brand names, although I only see them occasionally at family gatherings. I remember that his wife once told me that she had

Every morning before I go to work, I pull out the clothes in my closet and think about how to coordinate them, so it's like watching a fashion show every morning.

He said, "I am a very good person. He has also always tried to keep himself in shape andHe goes to the gym regularly to work out and is very careful about what he eats.Yes. So it seems that everywhere he goes, he is often told that he is stylish and cool, and for his wifeI've been married for 10 years and I'm still the coolest, proudest dad."It is said that.

My husband used to see my brother like that."What's with that guy, is he trying to be a model or something?"(explosion).

(2) Attitudes toward prominence

Husband = doesn't like to stand out.

My husband doesn't really like to stand out. Because of his position, he has many opportunities to speak and present in public, and he is a good speaker, but he has always been

I'd rather have someone else do it. I prefer to stay in and work alone.

He said. And true to his words, recently he has been leaving presentations and public speaking work to others and withdrawing to the back of the room himself.

Also, when it comes to your favorite brand of watch or bag, don't go for a design that is easily recognizable as that brand.On the contrary, I prefer it when people don't know it's a brand name."and dare to buy something with a design that is difficult to recognize.(It's kind of a waste...w)

Brother = likes to stand out

My brother, on the other hand, seems to be the type who quite likes to stand out.("Do you like to stand out?" ) I didn't ask him directly, only that I see it and think so...)Family members say.Ever since I was a student, I've always been the type to stand out in school.It seems to me that many of them still find themselves in places where they are the center of attention.

Even though I am not familiar with brand-name products, I can see the watches and bags that you are wearing."Oh! This is a ________!"Many of them are recognizable, and since they are well dressed, such brand-name items suit them well.

(iii) Sociability

Husband = wants to have fun in his own world

I was once diagnosed with a personality analysis tool thatHer husband scored 34th out of 34 on the item "sociability."I'm not... but I can usually have a normal conversation with them.(W)The people around him do not seem to think he is "socially awkward" at all. But, according to him.

I can talk as much as I want about Porsche, cars, or anything else that interests me or that I like. However, I am not good at ordinary drinking and social gatherings where I have nothing in common with the people around me. I can't even remember their names or faces. I'd much rather go straight home and watch Youtube videos of cars or play car racing on my PlayStation by myself.

He said, "I am a very good person. Seeing my husband like that, my brother once told me"What are you, some kind of Porsche driver?"(explosion).

Brother = I want to expand my interactions and have fun.

His brother is also the complete opposite of her husband, being very sociable. According to his wife, he eats out for dinner every day, and even on his days off, he rarely sits at home, always going out with someone. He also invites friends over for barbecues and takes multiple family trips.I like to interact with people and am good at expanding my circle of interactions.I wonder if this is the case.

...When I think about it this way, my husband and my brother really have opposite personalities. I wonder if they get along so well not because they are similar, but because they have different personalities.

Porsche" and "Ferrari

After analyzing my husband and brother, we finally talked about cars. Porsche" and "Ferrari" are both luxury car makers, but I think they are going in completely different directions. However, the rest of this article is just my opinion, and I may be wrong, but I hope you will read it as my personal view.

(1) Products and Works

Porsche is an 'industrial product' and Ferrari is a 'work of art.I once heard a story about a Porsche, whose performance is "outstanding as a car. Porsche has "outstanding performance as a car," and Ferrari is described as "beautifully designed, and the sound of the engine is like playing a musical instrument. So, if you like PorscheI fell in love with Porsche's great performance as a car.And if you like Ferraris, you'll love it.I'm in love with its design and the beauty of its sound.I think there are a lot of people.

On the other hand, if a Porsche lover buys a Ferrari, he will say, "What an unreliable car! and when a Ferrari lover buys a Porsche, he or she often says, "It's a good car, but the design and sound are totally useless! I feel that many people who like Ferrari say, "It's a good car, but the design and the sound are not good at all!

(2) Craftsmen and managers

Porsche" and "Ferrari" have completely different types of founders to begin with.Porsche design firm founded by Ferdinand Porsche, the engineer who designed the Volkswagen Type 1The story begins with the fact that he did. And in the famous words of Ferdinand Porsche.

A small, lightweight, energy-efficient sports car. I searched for my ideal car, but could not find it anywhere. So I decided to build it myself.

There is something called, in other wordsPorsche's founder was a "great craftsman"It was.

Ferrari, on the other handRace driver Enzo Ferrari founded Scuderia Ferrari with his friends and became a semi-works team for Alfa RomeoEnzo Ferrari's career began when he retired from racing and became manager of the Alfa Romeo works team. After retiring from racing, Enzo Ferrari became the manager of the Alfa Romeo works team, where he achieved good results, and also expanded the sales network of his local Alfa Romeo distributor in Modena, where his business quickly grew. Later, he founded his own eponymous company, Ferrari, which produced its first racing model in its first year of operation.

In other words.Ferrari's founder is a "brilliant manager"It was.

The difference between the two founders is similar in some respects to the difference between the two companies today.

(iii) High/low status symbolism

Porsche is also a luxury car, so it can be seen as a "status symbol," but it's not.Not as good as Ferrari.Porsche is a leading manufacturer of Porsche is in some areas.(e.g., urban centers and upscale residential areas)There are quite a few running, but even in those areas you don't see many Ferraris.(Porsche sold 246,375 units in 2017, while Ferrari sold 8,398 units.)Ferraris are more rare and have a more exclusive image because they are sold in smaller numbers.

I know this is speculation, but even though Porsche is also working hard to improve and maintain its brand strength.The emphasis is more on "making something that is good as a car.I have a feeling that Ferrari, on the other hand, is very focused on improving and maintaining its brand power. Ferrari, on the other hand, is putting a lot of effort into improving and maintaining its brand power, and this seems to be thoroughly implemented from production volume to sales strategy.

Conclusion.

when one thinks about it'Practical, functional, doesn't like to stand out, geeky husband who wants to have fun in his own world.'Porsche is a craftsman who continues to make great sports cars without losing practicality and functionality" is probably right for the "Porsche" and "Porsche" is a "Porsche" for the "Porsche".

He's all about looking good, likes to stand out, and is a social brother."I think "a Ferrari with a beautiful design and form and a high status symbol" is appropriate for the "Ferrari".

In other words.

Husband = nerdiness = don't want to show off = don't care how it looks ≈ Porsche
Brother = social = shows off = cares about looks ≈ Ferrari

(laughs).

...Having said that, I have never really talked to my husband's brother like this, so this theory would be quickly disproved when he was actually a super nerd...I might ask him a few questions at a relative gathering if I get the chance (laughs)....

    Interesting discussion.
    I would very much like to see a female version.

    My wife is crazy about Cayenne.
    I don't like to show off, but I don't like to be like other people.
    Formerly a ballerina, she has a beauty that everyone can agree is quite delicate and graceful.
    You don't want to stand out, but even if you're tucked away in the corner, you'll still stand out.
    His character is a rigorous craftsmanship in both public and private life, and his behavior is calculated and seamless.
    Strong enough to fight when the need arises, and not a pretty face to match its graceful appearance.
    It is tremendously ferocious and hides a first-class strength. It is unbeatable in a fight.
    I guess I feel that when he married me, he probably had some kind of breakdown.
    Hmmm, I think it is Porsche itself.

    My wife says that I should not get a Porsche because it will never fit me.
    Rough, no detail is too much, and the horsepower is boom-boom, but we stop and detour frequently.
    The small parts were scattered about, and the car was repaired here and there, and then repaired here and there, making flashy and self-satisfied modifications.
    They want an old American car or a car sold in the US that has had a lot of Life is indeed like that.

      Bupa.
      Your wife is amazing...
      She is so beautiful, graceful, and clean, but also very strong inside.
      The actions are so precise and calculated...

      Perfect...!

      Certainly, such a woman would look good in a Porsche, and I'm sure it's because she's such a woman.
      I feel comfortable with a man like Buppa, who is the opposite of my generous and receptive self.
      I think they got married ^^^!

      I'd love to do an analysis of the female version, though.
      After all, there are not many women around me who buy Porsches and Ferraris for themselves.
      It's a little difficult to find a few reference materials...

      I'll definitely write about it when I meet more women like that ^^^!

    Mina-san. Please excuse my comment.
    Your choice of car and personality, interesting. If I apply it to myself.... I guess I am more like your brother, but maybe more like your husband in some aspects. I like fashion. But I don't like social gatherings.
    In terms of cars, I honestly prefer Ferrari myself. Even though it was just before I took delivery of my Panamera. Porsche didn't interest me that much until recently. What attracted me to Porsche was their success at Le Mans. I like Ferrari because I have been watching Ferrari in F1 for a long time. Basically, my criterion of judgment is motorsports.
    Ferrari seems to be focusing on brand power for its production cars, but in F1, it does not have such a meek image at all, but rather a very high-level technical group. When Porsche participated in F1 back in the day, it didn't have a good image, but after seeing their success at Le Mans and other events, the image has changed. Now I recognize Porsche as a manufacturer with the highest level of technology. In that sense, I am very much looking forward to driving it.
    I'm sorry if I'm going on and on, but to sum it up, in my opinion, neither Ferrari nor Porsche is better than the other, lol.

      Mr. SN.
      >Excuse me for the standing comment.
      No way, sir! Thank you very much!
      Thank you very much for your time and for your geeky analysis.

      My husband and my brother are like two opposites.
      Usually, there is a mixture of both elements ^^^.
      (They are too extreme...LOL)

      Certainly, both Porsche and Ferrari develop their cars around racing, but the person I spoke to earlier

      Porsche is a production car that can be taken to the track and driven as-is, but it's not a production car that can be driven on the track.
      A production Ferrari cannot be driven at all if a production car is brought to the track.

      But if you tune your Ferrari for the track, it's going to be a blast.
      It's like it awakens all at once and turns into a crazy amazing machine, so I'm amazed at how it transforms."
      He said.

      After all, all cars, whether Porsche, Ferrari, or any other manufacturer, are amazing and both have their own charm.
