Is the act of "buying a Porsche" a waste of money or an investment? - From the perspective of a wife with a car-loving husband

How to buy a Porsche

911, narrowing it down to one car?

The other day, I was asked to write an article titled "The case of a 911 upper model owner who is ultimately fine with a plain 911.I wrote an article about this and got quite a response. I guess everyone feels the same way. I received this comment.

."I like the plain 911.They all say "I'm not a fan of that" (and by the way, I say it too...). I don't deny that in itself. But do the car enthusiasts who say such things stay quiet with only one plain 911? As you are familiar with, they don't (by the way, I don't either...).
You know how good white rice tastes, and you should be satisfied, but you still miss the taste of a fine restaurant, and that's what car lovers do.

Indeed it is! You are right. I told my husband about this comment.You're right, you're right.She laughed when she said, "I think I like the plain 911. In fact, my husband also said, "I think plain 911 is good," and then said, "But a GT3 would be nice, a Boxster would be nice, air-cooled would be nice...and ended up increasing the number of cars.

As for the people you'll meet in Ashi'a, "I went around the block and decided that a plain 911 was the way to go, so I went with one plain 911.I have never met a person called "I have never met anyone like that.

That said, we wanted to see if Porsche owners with multiple Porsches would ultimately be satisfied with just one bare-bones 911."If you had to narrow it down to one final car, which one would you choose?It is pointless to ask such a question to those who do not need to limit themselves to a single unit in the first place.

And as for the food.

White rice is the best = white rice is all you need for a meal

This is not the case. Many people want to eat meat, vegetables, fish, and desserts.

Porsche is either a waste or an investment.

If someone says, "I gave up various models and focused on just one 911 because I thought a plain 911 was good enough," that's really cool, but if someone says, "I'm not sure I'm going to do that," then I'm not sure I'm going to do that.The Porsche 911 is good on its own terms. That doesn't mean you have to settle for just one.I'm now thinking about the "I can see why.I would think, "I don't know. Because of the

I have learned that each Porsche model has its own distinct appeal.

Even though the underlying performance as a car is the same, the ride, the kind of driving fun, the engine sound, the enjoyable speed range... all are totally different. Each has its own distinct advantages.Its quality can never be experienced in other models.

So we end up concluding that we have no choice but to increase the number of cars (laughs).

Also, there are many great Porsche models that are too good to let go of!(some of which will increase in value)I have a 981 Boxster GTS (MT). In fact, I, too, have been thinking about the 981 Boxster GTS (MT).Never sell!(It took me 4 years to learn how to ride...w)She pleads with her husband, saying, "I'm not going to let you do this to me.

So I understand why my husband and everyone I know can't narrow it down to one car.

Also, "owning more than one car" isIt is meant to be an investment, not a waste of money.If it is, in other words, "thePositive effects on the family that are greater than the amount of money purchasedIf it's a "yes," then I don't think it's a problem at all.

To own more than one car, you have to work harder and earn more than you do now. The cost of gas, highways, inspections, insurance, maintenance, inspections, parking...it's hard to even think about doubling or tripling those costs.

To do this, we need to change the way we earn money itself andMaybe you need to change jobs or start your own business.Maybe, and in any case, we have to work harder than we are doing now.

And as far as I'm concerned.My husband's purchase of a new Porsche has been good for him and for our family!I think so. My husband's motivation for his work has increased, the people he meets have changed, and I am now in a world I could never have imagined when I met him.

until nowI will not restrict my husband's freedom, and I will not say NO to his purchasing a Porsche."I've been blogging about this, but in other words, I've been writing about it.I guess I'm not saying anything because the Porsche purchase was an investment, not a waste of money.I realized again while writing this article.

On the other hand, if I hear that even if they increase the number of Porsches, there is no indication that they are going to work even harder to earn more money than they are now, and they will simply have less money, their lives will become harder, and there will be only disadvantages for their families... I will be very upset, no doubt.(It is selfish of me to snap when I myself am allowed to do so freely, but...)

pursue two rabbits

It's very difficult to narrow it down to any one thing that you want.To choose one or the other is to discard one or the other.So it takes a lot of courage. At the same time, trying to get what you want without narrowing it down to one thing is also not easy.

This may be a little off topic, but when I gave birth to my first daughter six years ago, II couldn't choose one over the other, either "childcare" or "work."Both are so important and irreplaceable to me that I didn't want to lose either, so I chose to do both.

However, by choosing to balance both, I had to change the way I used my time, the way I worked, and the way I thought about everything, and there was a long period of time when I struggled with this process.

When my child was sick in the hospital, I would look at my child covered in intravenous drips and say, "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry.I wonder if it's because I'm working all the time that I'm getting the bad end of the stick...I blamed myself," he said, "and I felt like I was halfway through my work by not being able to move freely because of my child."The man who runs after two hares will catch neither.I sometimes felt ashamed of myself," he said.

But in retrospect, both of those choices led me to launch this Porsche blog, andNow I can see my own way to balance the two.So now I am glad that I made that choice at the time.

I know I'm going off on a tangent, and my conclusion is also a digression from the beginning, but we only live once, and I hope that we can continue to be partners in taking on new challenges with greed.LOL

    Hi Mina.
    Thanks to you, the 981 Spyder was recently delivered to us and we are very impressed.
    It is a low level story compared to gt3 and plain 911, but when I bought the 981 Spyder, I was very unsure whether to keep the Abarth 124 Spyder and keep the extra car or to switch.
    As a result, I chose to sell it because it was not that worthwhile, it would have put a strain on the family budget, and it would have been a waste of money, not an investment....
    It is said that he who pursues two hares will get neither, but in the words of the husband, those who have a lot of passion and continue to pursue seriously may one day be able to get two hares.
    I am disappointed in myself that I am still lacking in both enthusiasm and action in that regard, but Mina, your husband's enthusiasm is truly amazing.
    By the way, I am thinking of going to Ashiu Driveway with my wife on Monday the 25th of this month.
    If you are going, I would be happy to join you.

      Oh congratulations!!!
      I think ds124's heat level is also amazing!
      I'm not there yet either... keep up the good work!

      25th, Monday?
      We are not planning to go that day, but maybe around the 24th, my husband might go if the weather is nice.
      Oh, I'm going to Ashiari this Sunday morning, the 17th, and a friend of yours will be there with his 981 Boxster Spider!

    Bottom line, I think you all are cheaters.
     Is a bare-bones Carrera the best? Is a Porsche the best? So you have a lot of them, even if you think they are.
    I don't want to eat curry every day. I could eat sushi every day though!

    Isn't someone who has a lot of cars a cheater! Someone said that... bomb.

      That's what I mean (laughs). I think it is said in many places that people who have a lot of cars cheat on their partners. Gentleman Shimada also said that.
      So, I'm surrounded by cheating men... (explosion)

    I am disappointed that the blogmaster is so stupid.

    Two drivers, five cars. Would it be "wasteful? No it isn't," etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc.

    It is not a communist country, so you are free to do whatever you want with your money. You can go on a Porsche binge as you please. However, you should be aware of what you are throwing away. The current Porsche paradise is a waste of money. It is excessive luxury.

    Legitimately earned money? Just money taken from customers, consumers, employees, or developing countries to the south.

    It has been a long time, MINA.
    I'm the guy who was previously consulted on the panamera turbo but ended up deciding on the panamera gts!

     I've been following this blog for about two years now, and it's finally gotten big enough for the antis to show up! I don't think spending money on what you love is a waste of money.
     Looking forward to more updates from you!

      Oh, it's been a while!
      Then how about the Panamera GTS, how about that!

      You've been looking at us for two years now (since very early on, right?).
      Thank you very much.

      Thanks to your help, it has grown beyond our own imagination.
      It's an unknown world from here on out, but I'll do my best to have fun and open new doors!

      I am very happy to hear you say so, Uri.
      Thank you for your continued support.

    It's a bit of a problem for me. I have increased the number of cars in the past as well as the desire to do so.
    The maximum number of cars was seven, but after four, my love for one car became unbalanced.
    If they are not good, they are left without starting the engine.
    I blame myself for this.
    It's a sad nature and I'm not satisfied with just one car, but I've learned that having more than three can create a bias of affection.
    Understandably, we now have two cars (oh, and my wife doesn't drive at all, so it's purely my car).
    Yes, I sold my GT4, I haven't driven it at all since the GT3 came along....
    I think it is wonderful that people can love all their wives in a polygamous relationship.
    Apparently, I don't qualify for that.
    Based on the assumption that in the future, when I retire, I will be able to put it all together in one car, the "bare-bones Carrera" is very attractive.
    See you then.

      If you increase the number of cars, you have to do it on a regular basis...it's not easy.
      My husband loves driving the car itself, so he says, "Every time I drive, I discover something new and joyful!" And so on and so forth, and he takes his turn.
      As someone who is not that much of a car enthusiast, I think to myself, "How dare they do that!

      >Based on the assumption that in the future, when I retire, I will be able to put it all together in one car, the "bare-bones Carrera" is very attractive.
      Oh, I see! It is very convincing to hear Mr. Zuzu, who has owned a lot of cars.

    I enjoyed your discussion.

    It is difficult to say whether driving a Porsche 911 is a waste of money. The running cost is much higher than that of a light car, but it is impossible to say whether you can drive a light car on a circuit as it is. Porsche is the cheapest car in the sense that it can be used on a daily basis and enjoy circuit driving without modification.
    Back to the nest Carrera, this is true, I have had 4 different 911s, air cooled and water cooled, but the plain Carrera seems to be the best for me as I drive 25,000 km a year from work to hobby in a Porsche.
    However, when it comes to socializing through Porsche, there are more troublesome people than pleasant ones, which I feel is a disadvantage. This is just my opinion.

      Oooh, very compelling thoughts... thank you!
      Depending on what point of view you are talking about Porsche, you have a completely different view.

      >I drive my Porsche 25,000 km a year from work to pleasure, and the bare-bones Carrera seems to be the best for me.
      The bare-bones Carrera, which adapts to any situation, is still amazing.

      >However, when it comes to socializing through Porsche, there are more troublesome people than enjoyable ones, which I feel is a disadvantage.
      I see...(laughs) Indeed, I sometimes think that it would be nice if we could have a relationship that does not stick around if possible ^^;
