It is said that the fun of a high-performance car like Porsche is proportional to the driving skill of the driver.

When I couldn't drive an MT car

About five years ago, I couldn't drive an MT car.

Every time I drive the Boxster GTS (981), the only MT car that was in my house at that time, "I can't drive an MT car for the rest of my life"I just gave up.

I can't take my foot off the accelerator pedal or clutch pedal.Does Boxster's pedals have superglue?The whole body is ticking from the tip of the nail to the tip of the head.

I clenched my teeth too much and my jaw was very tired after every drive.

Sometimes I couldn't start on a slope, I repeatedly stalled, I got a hazard in the middle of the road and stopped, and sometimes I couldn't start well at one traffic light and it turned red as it was (fortunately the car is yes behind). Did not)

I'm going to go from 3rd to 4th, but I'm going to go to 2nd, and I'm going to go to 1st, but I'm going to go back ...

When I think about it now, I don't think I had an accident or hit it. (Click here for the article at that time ↓ lol)

Until the day I can drive a Porsche Boxster GTS (MT) - Vol.2

However, from that point on, I decided that I would be able to drive an MT car.After I bought my own MT car BMW and started riding it every day, Now I can ride Boxster that was impossible, "After all, I'm used to driving MT cars.I really thought, "I'm not going to be able to do that.

However, even if you ride Boxster, you can not blipping at the time of downshift, and every time at Ashi Driveway, you turn on sports plus mode and rely on auto blipping (981 is auto blipping in sports plus mode) Ripping turns on) "I can drive for the time beingLevel.

It's just that "Be able to drive a manual transmission vehicleI was able to fulfill my original purpose, so I gave up my BMW, and spent some time riding an AT car.

To enjoy the high-performance car Porsche more

And last springThe MT fever reignited again, and in October, a Swisspo MT car came to my house.Because I bought it with my own money, I chose Swiss Po because of the budget, the fun of running, and the ease of use.

It's light, relaxed, and even driving on a national road with many traffic lights is more than fun.

gradually"Because it's a big deal, let's be able to blipping by yourselfAfter about a month of practicing while riding every day, I was able to do blipping.

Also, although I wasn't particularly conscious of it, when I started, I started to hit the accelerator a little and to find a smooth and fun way to drive.

And the other day, I had the opportunity to ride Boxster for the first time in a long time ...

It was easier to drive and more fun than ever, and I was surprised myself.

Blipping has become possible normally (although recent Porsche does not seem to recommend self-blipping, so I think it is better not to do it), and I used to feel "hard" The accelerator pedal that I was using was also able to grasp the exquisite power adjustment.

."Was Boxster so much fun?I was impressed by myself and drove.

Boxster has always been fun, but my husband often says that he is more relaxed and more comfortable to drive than before."Run as one with the car" "Run as a team with the car"I felt like I could understand the feeling.

I thought "I'm used to driving MT cars", but not because I got on every day, but "I want to get betterI think it may have been good that I rode every day with the feeling. (Although I'm still bad at it)

My husband said "I want to improve my car drivingTo go to Porsche's driving schoolFor what? Can you be a racer?I used to laugh with my nose,

."A high-performance car like Porsche can bring out more fun the better you driveI realized that, and now I can understand my husband's feelings a little.

If you have the opportunity to ride Porsche, I'd be happy if it's fun, and I think I haven't been able to bring out that fun yet, so I'd like to keep in mind that I'll be able to drive even a little better.

    Hello. - Hello.

    Manual cars are fun.
    I have a deep nostalgia. The more you can do, the more challenges you will have.

    I suddenly had gts4.0, so I can't drive an ordinary manual car, I think it's useless.
    I think it's not really a manual ride.
    Someday I want to be able to ride 930 and narrow smoothly ← Is it impossible (; ^ _ ^ A)

    In June, Ashi will try again.
    I hope I can meet you ~

      Thank you!
      As you said, MT cars are fun and profound ...!

      When you can drive an air-cooled Porsche quickly,
      I think it's insanely cool ^^

      You can come to Ashi!
      My husband says it often, so I'd be happy to see you again!

    Always a pleasure to see your work!
    I used to vaguely think that a sports car was good, but I was probably brainwashed and bought the 970S.
    I saw it from the beginning again on this occasion, but it was still interesting and helpful.
    I'm looking forward to it
