What kind of woman should I marry in order to live my life as a car enthusiast even after marriage?

My Family's Car Life

Interesting things about twitter

Lately I have become more of a twitter person than a facebook person. Of course, I think each has its own interesting qualities, but I think "There is more human nature and naked emotion on twitter than on facebook.I think it's like "I'm not sure what I want to do," so just looking at the submissions is interesting and stimulates ideas from a different angle.(Though there are many hoaxes aimed at spreading the word.)

More recently, during the Valentine's Day season, we've been working on the "I love cars, but I don't have a girlfriend.or "How can I marry a wife who loves cars?Many of the tweets were from men who love cars, such as "I can't believe young kids these days are thinking like this...and I was able to enjoy viewing the contents in a completely relatable auntie state.

As I watched those tweets, I also saw a "What kind of woman should a man marry in order to love his car and live his life with it, even after marriage?I have been thinking about this, and I would like to write a little about it today.

Even if you like cars, good.

As it happens, I wasn't a car enthusiast at all, and I was more of a "You don't need a car in your life.It was the "I was a" group. "It costs a considerable amount of money per year, I can live without it, and if I live in a city, the transportation network is well developed and exhaust gas is bad for the environment. Therefore, I do not need a car.I thought, "I'm not going to be able to do that.

That doesn't mean that she didn't say to her husband before she married him, "I'm not going toI need you to stop the car hobby.or "If you're going to get married, you're going to have to compromise on the car.I never thought of it that way.

How could I, a non-car enthusiast, say to my husband, who loves cars and touring, "I can do whatever I want"?

It is.

I myself have been a "Cherish what you love.Since he has chosen to live in a "I want to take care of what I love.Because I understand my husband's way of life.

I think it is.

27 years old.

As I may have mentioned briefly in this blog, I started my own business when I was 27 years old. I didn't know what was right or left, I had no money, no connections, no know-how, nothing... Looking back, I was completely reckless (laughs).

Naturally, at that time, theHe was fiercely opposed by his family and by the company he worked for.

I'll never make it. You will fail for sure. What will you do with your life after that if you end up with huge debts?

I'm at my current company, I'm valued, I'm getting a good salary for my age, and there's no way I'm throwing all of that away.

And so on....

In particular, my parents, all of whom have relatives who work in the business, were "This girl has finally lost her mind.He was really worried about me saying "I'm not a good person," and he opposed 100%. However, in my mind, "If you don't do it now, you will regret it for the rest of your life.I had a strong feeling that I wanted to be a part of this project, so I stepped up to the plate.(Eventually he became independent in a way that his family would support him)

Ten years ago, entrepreneurship wasn't as booming as it is today.It is rare for women, especially in the Kansai region, to become independent in their 20s.At the various social gatherings I attended at the time, I was told to my face that "women are women anyway" type of frustration. At that time.

The moment you choose a way of life that is different from the norm or the rails laid down by the world, the public's perception of you becomes all the stronger.

I felt that this was the case. However, when I was told many things, on the contrary, I thought, "Tic'sho!I think that was quite a plus for me because I have a personality that excites me with "I'm a good person," he said.

Live your life.

After becoming independent, I met many business owners, who, contrary to when I was working for a company, wereThey fully supported me in taking on the challenge.Among them, these words from a senior colleague, who has been my mentor for 10 years, still remain with me.

"For example, if you want to climb Mount Everest.I went to someone who had already climbed Everest for advice.You have to go. Those who have never climbed Mount Everest will definitely disagree, saying it's impossible.(including kindness and good will). But people who have climbed Everest once will give you advice and support for climbing. That's how it is."

And.

."I see!After that, I began to seek advice and consultation from such people, and I found myself surrounded by almost exclusively business owners and freelancers.

And many of those people are.The image of a person who is not bound by the norms of the world, but is living life abundantly with his or her own will.See the "I, too, want to live like this.The desire to "make a difference" became stronger and stronger.

However, the "With great freedom comes great responsibilitySo. For the past 10 years, I worked very hard, but in the end, I couldn't even reach one millionth of what I had set out to do. I also lost all of my money (laughs).

Then you ask, "So do you regret it?" I am asked, I have no regrets at all. In Dracula's theory of life, he says

If you get hit by a stronger enemy, you just start over from the church. The money will be gone, but the experience will remain.

I am so glad that I took the step at that time, because it was an experience that will be an asset to my life, with the feeling that I was a good person.

Nevertheless, I am truly grateful to my husband for creating an environment in which I could push forward with everything I wanted to do, in every sense of the word, after we were married and after our child was born.

In addition, over the past decade, I've also been working on a "Writing.and "To express something to many people.I realized that I might like "I love it" and might be relatively good at it, the company changed a lot of its ways, and I started taking the Porsche blog seriously, and here I am.

If car lovers are getting married.

I know I'm getting pretty upfront about it, but in other words, I'm not sure I'm the one who's "in charge" of theLet's live a life that values our own will over the world's conventional wisdom.Since I believe that the "My husband loves cars.."He's pretty crazy about cars.I think it's totally fine to be "crazy. Rather, I think, "The crazier I get, the more I can go through, the more interesting my life will be." I think it's good.

If you take a different path than the others, you will be told many things, more or less. The winds will be stronger.

Still, if you only live once, you don't live up to other people's expectations.I choose to live my life.I want my husband to value his "likes" and "things he wants to do" and do them as much as he wants to do them, because I am sure he thinks that way too.

In reality, though, theThe part about my husband being a man who understands "freedom and responsibility" is pretty significant.Husband. My husband is a

I'll work hard to make money, so the car won't hurt our finances."
I don't like housework, and I don't want to do it, but instead, I will actively introduce shortening appliances and services to make housework easier."

and so on, but I honestly feel that this area is important.(I can't be a wife who has the decency to support a husband who does as he pleases without regard for those around him.)

So, back to the beginning... "I'm not sure what to say."What kind of woman should a man marry in order to love his car and live his life with it, even after marriage?When I say "I love cars," of course I think it would be good to marry a woman who loves cars, but there are probably very few such people... (laughs)

To look at it a little differently.

People who understand the importance of "living your own life" and who care more about what you want to be than what is common knowledge around you.

If I could meet and marry such a person, I would be able to lead a life that values cars even after marriage... Well, it may not be that simple, but I am thinking about it from the perspective of a relative's auntie these days.

    I love what you're doing, and that's a great way to think about it!
    It seems like a simple thing to do, but it is very difficult to do. lol
    I am very jealous of your husband who has a wife as wonderful as Mina's. lol
    I was very impressed with the Everest analogy and the Dracula life theory. So this is the way of thinking!

    Very good read, looking forward to your next update!

    • Mina.Mina.

      ric acid
      Thank you!
      Yes, taking care of what you love is quite difficult in every respect....
      I think that sometimes you can't say what you like and have to let it all go.

      >I am very jealous of your husband who has a wife as wonderful as Mina's. lol

      In my blog, I only write about my good side, so I think I'm actually a pretty messy wife (laughs).
      I'm not good at saving money or managing my finances, so I don't do it at all... ^^..;

      And we will continue to update our blog on a daily basis, so stay tuned!

  2. This is Kanou, the 718 Boxster GTS that you blogged about last time.

    Once again, a very interesting read. The Everest story was really thought provoking. In life, I always want to have an eye for the essence of things like this. By the way, fortunately or unfortunately, no one makes fun of my love of cars, which makes me happy or sad. 。。。。 Life is full of colors: 。。。。 I think Porsche is my lover at the moment....

    • Mina.Mina.

      Mr. Kanou.
      Thank you for everything you do for us! We are very happy that you continue to visit our blog.

      >In life, we always want to have this kind of eye for the essence of things.

      I really think so. I wish I could see things for what they really are and walk in a straight line without being overly influenced by trends and opinions...
      But it's actually very difficult (laughs).

      >Life is colorful: 。。。。 I think my Porsche is my girlfriend at the moment.
      Porsche is a lover, a lover that looks beautiful, is solid and unbreakable on the inside, gives you a taste of fun, and can sometimes be like a partner...it's the best. !!!!

    Good morning.

    It's a good story. Tears.

    Ideal Couple.

    You want to respect the other person.

    It's better to have a different world than the same couple.

    One day, your husband said, why don't you ask the housekeeper already? You made a comment like that.

    I am very impressed. I would like to give my husband the benefit of the doubt.

    If I see you in Ashiari sometime, please give me a piece of your husband's nail polish.

    • Mina.Mina.

      Gori.
      Thank you for always saying that!

      Well, I've only written the good parts in my blog... in reality, we are a very clumsy couple for each other (laughs).

      >Someday, your husband said, why don't you ask the housekeeper already? You said something like that.
      >I am so impressed. I would like to give my husband the benefit of the doubt.
      >If I see you in Ashiari sometime, please give me a piece of your husband's nail polish.

      I am very impressed that you remember my blog so well (laughs).
      Yes, we are actually going to ask for a housekeeper this year.
      Thank you thank you thank you...

      Please come to Ashiyari after you take delivery of your 992 and finish breaking it in.
      Hope to see you there!
      I'll collect some nail polish too (laughs).

      That said, Gori's family has several cars, and her husband is truly amazing...!

  4. large and red

    It is nice to meet you, MINA-san. I always look forward to seeing your work.
    I had to comment because the content of the article matched perfectly with my current thinking.

    I too love cars and driving, and have driven turbo and manual cars, but recently switched to an SUV because I am old enough to get married and have children in the future. (I don't have a girlfriend at the moment.)
    When the car was finally delivered and I was excited to drive it, I found it to be no fun at all and despaired. The thought of driving this car made me stay in my room instead of going out on weekends.

    Recently, however, I had the opportunity to drive the current WRX STI, and when I was allowed to drive it, I was so happy that I drove 500 km in half a day, and I felt myself becoming more energetic, thinking, "There is such a fun car in the world," and "I always want to drive this car.

    Since then, I have spent my days thinking about getting a WRX STI, but when I tell people about it, I get a storm of criticism lol.
    My parents told me to save money because it will cost money after marriage, and when I showed pictures to girls I dated, they said, "These wings are a donkey," "I don't like the yellow calipers," "You'll attract more girls with your current car," etc. (laughter).

    But I am very happy in the moments when I am thinking about getting what I want, and I can't imagine being unhappy with something that inspires me so much emotionally as an adult.

    What I am trying to say is that doing what you love gives you the power to live and leads you to your ideal life.
    And we are very lucky to have partners and friends who affirm such a way of life.

    Sorry for the length.
    I look forward to more updates.
    Oh, I found this blog from "I heard there is a Porsche 911 that is more fun than WRX", and due to MINA's influence, I also plan to drive a Porsche 911 Turbo in the future (lol).

      Shunta-san (third highest of the eight hereditary titles)

      Thank you for visiting our blog.

      I have read your comment. I didn't know that happened...!

      As I read, in the section "I was old enough to think about marriage and was able to buy an SUV."
      I thought that Shunta-san has tremendous energy and determination.

      Because you've purchased an SUV, you know that "this car is different."
      Then you met the WRX STI and realized how important the car was to you even more than before.

      than to realize it in the presence of a child.
      It would have been many times better if I had realized this before we got married, so
      I felt that Shunta's decision was really great.

      Oh, and as an aside, my husband has always told everyone around him that I will never get married.
      That is, "I wouldn't get married if I had to give up my favorite car, or if I couldn't go touring on the weekends.
      He said that this was the case.

      Likewise, I had one experience (laughs) where I thought, "I wouldn't get married if I wouldn't be able to do what I want to do."
      They met at just the right time and hit it off.

      I really think that you never know what life has in store for you.

      I'm sure that you, with your energy and determination, will definitely be on the 911 in the future!
      I'm looking forward to a more and more exciting car life in the future!

      I, for one, will do my best to get myself a Porsche!!!
      Thank you for your continued support!
