Four things that led me from having no interest in cars to deciding to buy a Porsche 911.

Porsche 911
How to buy a Porsche

Let's buy a 911.

In fact, I'm currently working on my first Porsche, "Whether or not to buy a 911..."This is the story of the project.

I don't know if I'll win a production slot, so there's a good chance I won't be able to buy one."buyThe decision to "make the decision" is in itself a big part of who I am.

Previously.I never imagined I would ever buy a Porsche in my life.I have summarized my change of mind over the past six or seven years as to why I came to the decision to buy.

In conclusion, there were four triggers, which I wish to share with you.

What led me to buy a Porsche?

I used to have no interest in cars whatsoever.

I was so excited when I heard the words "I want to buy a Porsche with my own money.The first time I thought, "I've got to get a Porsche (Panamera)," was after I married my car-loving husband and gave birth to our first daughter, when I was allowed to test drive a Porsche (Panamera) for the first time at a dealership.

He was thrilled by the sense of oneness between people and horses that he had never experienced before in a car.That's amazing!!! I would love to buy and own one with my own money someday!I thought, "I'm not going to be able to do that.

What's with this steering wheel...

At the time, however, I had no image of purchasing a Porsche, and it remained a distant goal for me.

From that state, "Maybe you can buy one.The first thing that changed my mind was the opportunity to be in an environment with Porsche owners.

After starting the Porsche blog and running it with my husband, I was able to connect with Porsche owners by listening to their stories and being introduced to actual Porsche owners that my husband knew.

Porsche 911

And of all the Porsche owners around me.I bought a new Porsche," he said, "and added more cars."As I was listening to him say, "Porsche is such a normal thing to buy.And I gradually became numb to the sensation." w

The second trigger was theBuying my own car.It is. So far, I have not been able toBMW320iand my current carSuzuki Swift Sport(both MT vehicles), which gave me a realistic impression of the car-buying process and the image of monthly payments.

MT Suzuki Swisspo

The price of these two cars, however, was about 2.3 million yen due to our budget. Although the price of the Porsche is far from the price of the car, the experience of buying a car with one's own money was a big deal.

How I got my back

When I ordered Swisspo last year, back in April, I said, "My current income makes it impossible for me to afford the Porsche I want.He felt that "the

At the time, I had quite a bit of debt left to repay from the company I started in my 20s, and all of the earnings from my blog (which were meager) and the money I earned from working while raising my children all disappeared to pay off my debt.

In the midst of all this.

."I'm still a long way from being able to complete my repayments, save for a down payment, and still keep my Porsche.and the feeling that "Even if you say that, the situation will not change, so you have to make changes on your own.For months, I've been at odds with the feeling that "I'm not a good person..."...

Last June, a senior manager who had been a friend of mine for some time gave me the opportunity to start a second company.

Porsche Boxster

Then, this summer, the situation took a sudden turn. A Porsche owner I know casually asked me, "What do you want to do with your Porsche?When the later model of the 992 is announced, I don't know if I'll buy it or not...When I told him that I had been working on the project, he said something like this.

I think it's true, Mina, that you can wait, but if you say that, you may not be able to buy it at the crucial moment when you want it. I don't know.If you have the desire to have it, I suggest you start moving now."Night."

And.

Those words pushed me to go home and talk to my husband right away, and the next day I called Mr. H, who was in charge, and said, "I'm sorry.Next time I have the opportunity to purchase a 911, I will definitely make a reservation!I told him in a way that said, "I'm sorry.

This is the third reason.

After telling theOh, I said it... it's so much easier than it seems.I remember feeling strange," he said.

And this is an opportunity for us to "toI'm gonna make more money!The first trigger was the feeling of "I'm not sure I can do this. (trigger number four)

We ran a down payment and monthly loan repayment simulation and found that it was an eyeball-popping amount of money, "Even if you buy the car, you need to earn more money for maintenance, inspections, and other upkeep.I realized that I was in the right place at the right time.

One day I was thinking about that.

A senior manager who has been helping me in my work told me this.

There is a time when a person needs to be prepared to make a point. I think now is that time. The actors are already in place. All that remains is for you to make up your mind. Then things will start moving. Everyone around you is waiting for it.

And.

Ever since I entered the workforce, I have lived my entire life with a work ethic. Even after the birth of my child, I continued to devote myself to work while neglecting my child-rearing duties, which caused my children to feel lonely.

So a few years ago, I started saving my work and putting my family (child-rearing) first.

But at the same time.I had become accustomed to that comfort level and was afraid to take on a big challenge in a new environment.The following is a list of the most common problems with the "C" in the "C" column.

After going through various experiences, I am sure that my axis of "family first" will never waver in the future, so I now wonder if it is time for me to believe in myself and boldly take on challenges in the future.

summary

To summarize the above triggers

(1) I put myself among Porsche owners.
(2) I bought a car myself.
(3) I told the store I was buying a Porsche. w
4) I started to think and act seriously about how to earn money.

I guess it would be like that.

Some of you may have read this article.You don't have to work so hard and force yourself to buy a Porsche.I think some people would say.

In fact, Porsche is not indispensable for life, and I can live without it without any problems (in my case), and I don't dare to buy one.

Even if it were, "I still want to own one myself before making a decision.I have a feeling in my mind that "I'm not a good person. I bought it and thought, "I still don't need it.You might think, "I'm not sure what I want to do," or, on the other hand, you might find a new world waiting for you because you bought it (the swamp seems to be deep w).

You can't know that until you actually buy it.

Even though I have made up my mind to go this far, there is a good chance that I will not be able to buy the product because the production quota was not allocated, and I have a feeling that this is likely to happen.

    >I have a feeling that I would like to own one myself before making a decision. After buying it, I may think "I don't need it after all," or on the other hand, a new world may be waiting for me by buying it (the swamp seems to be deep, doesn't it?).

    Hello.
    I am also the type of person who "wants to judge the car after owning it myself.
    There are many things you can't know about a car just from a test drive (even a one-day one).

    In this context, I myself arrived at two cars, the 991.2 GT3 and the Alpina D3s.
    This year I reached the age of 60, so this will be the last vehicle that I have concluded to drive.

    But it is fun to drive in your favorite car.

      Hello, thank you!

      >I am also the type of person who "wants to judge the car after owning it myself".
      As you say, there's a lot you can't know from a little test drive...!

      >The two cars that I myself have arrived at are the 991.2 GT3 and the Alpina D3s.
      Oh so nice...!
      I'll try to get my own first Porsche first!

    Hi Mina.
    So it's finally, finally happening! Congratulations!
    And please publish your Mina-spec configs! (LOL)
    But three kids and four 911s is a wonderfully crazy household! (LOL)
    I DM'd hiro, but thanks to you, a 991.1 Carrera S Cabriolet is coming to my house!
    Thank you for your continued consultation.

    The first step is a heavy one, but once you get going, it is surprisingly easy to make great things happen, and I am sure that you will get a production slot and the story will progress at a steady pace.
    Looking forward to your future progress reports!

    Dear Mina

    You have finally reached that point.
    It is something that can be managed.

    Money is earned, if anything, it's pulled in (laughs).
    It's okay, it's okay.

    Once you jump off, it is easier than you might think.
    What the heck - you will wish you had done it sooner.

    Then there is a sense of timing and flexible thinking.
    Sense of smell and hearing, yes.

    We support you.

      Thank you!
      At last, at last...!

      It's manageable...!
      The weight of the words of those who have experienced this...very encouraging.

      You only live once, so I'll do my best.
      Thank you!

    Very good article.
    I'm rooting for you.
    I never thought I would be behind the wheel of a Porsche myself.
    I never thought I would be able to buy something for myself, not even a little bit.
    I didn't think so.
    Please pray that we will be able to find a good one.

      Glad to hear you say that!

      Kochabo, you too have made your dream come true...
      I'll do my best!

    It has been a while.
    I'm the guy who bought Taikan with the push of Mina's blog!

    Since then, I've been focusing on my work to maintain my taikan (laughs).
    When I bought Taikan, I was like, "I did it - I signed up for it," but now that I know I can't back out, I have no choice but to move forward, and I think I have more extra energy to do my best.

    I would also like to switch to 911 when my children reach the upper grades of elementary school.

    Fingers crossed we can secure a production slot!

      Oh thank you! It's been a while!

      >When I bought Taikan, I was like, "I did it - I signed up for it," but now that I know I can't back out, I have no choice but to move forward, and I think I have more extra strength to do my best.
      It's amazing... once you take the first step, you're forced to do so.
      You can work extra hard... that courage and determination will pave the way!

      I hope we can secure a production slot.

    Hello Mina and HIro.

    So the time may finally come!

    >Some of you who read this article may be thinking, "Why do I have to work so hard and push myself so hard to buy a Porsche?" I think some of you may be thinking, "I don't have to work so hard to buy a Porsche.

    Actually, I think so.
    However, when I get the go-ahead in my mind, I don't stop, and I know very well that I can't take the first step without pushing myself a little too hard.
    And if they buy a Porsche, they will do their best to maintain it, and a Porsche can be the source of that effort.
    So in the end, I fully support Mina's decision.

    One thing I'm concerned about is that if we can't get a production slot here, the outside world is going to be very concerned about buying multiple units, so I'm not going to do it.
    I sincerely hope you get your production slots cleared up so you can get a 911 with the exact specs you want!

    • Mina.Mina.

      nave acid
      Thank you!

      >So in the end, I fully support Mina's decision.
      Wow thank you!
      Normally, you don't need to buy anything at all... ^^..;

      Something about the experience of getting a Porsche for myself rather than wanting the Porsche itself... what kind of world is that?
      And I think my curiosity about how I can grow beyond that is greater (laughs).

      >One thing I'm concerned about is that if we can't get a production slot here, then the outside world is going to be concerned about buying more than one unit, so I'm going to take the liberty of asking.
      I sincerely hope you get your production slots cleared up so you can get a 911 with the exact specs you want!

      Indeed...W. I must ask Mr. H in charge to do whatever he can here...!!!!
      I too will be conscious of my good deeds on a daily basis and try my best to make the Porsche God smile on me (laughs).

    Hello, I always enjoy reading my blog.

    Enzo Ferrari, the founder of Ferrari, had this to say
    You cannot describe passion, you can only live it.
    (You can't talk about passion, you can only live it.)

    I want a Porsche, I want to see a new world. If I feel that way, I think the motive is enough.
    I'm rooting for you to buy a Porsche! I'd love to see your ideal Porsche config too!

      It's so cool....

      What moves me is something that, when you get right down to it, you can't really explain with logic...
      I was reminded that there is a part of me that feels like my heart is telling me so.
      I'm going to keep pushing forward!

      I hope to introduce the ideal configurations on my blog when they are finalized.

    Hi, I am an ordinary office worker with 19 years of Porsche experience.
    It's my assumption that a car called a Porsche...
    I feel that it is a car that fits where it should fit.
    I feel that MINA is one such person.
    I hope you find a good partner.

    The time has finally come.
    Congratulations on a step forward.
    T instead of Panamera? I guess that's where it comes down to.
    It's not an exemption, but in a way it can be seen as a savings, and if you can have fun with it, that's great.
    I hope that the frame will be turned around and that the car will be delivered.

      Thank you!
      Sure, it's a savings if you can cash it in quickly if the need arises, and if the value doesn't drop that low!

      I'll be happy to report back here on the blog!
