How do wives feel when they listen to the conversations of men who are enthralled by Porsches?

My Family's Car Life

Porsche Discussion

On a recent Sunday, a couple went to the Ashiu Driveway observation deck. We went quite late, at 10:00 a.m., but there were few cars.There was a rare 981 in line, so I didn't hesitate to give them a toner. w

On this day, there was a GT4 owner that my husband often talks to, a Boxster owner that I met before, an air-cooled driver that I finally met the other day, and a reader who comments on my blog, and everyone seemed to be having a great time talking about cars.

'Are these decals genuine or did you have them done later at the store?'
The new 911 (992) is selling well right now, or not."
How's the market for Porsches on the used market these days?"
The rear lights of the 981 Boxster GTS have black trim, while the GT4 and Boxster Spyder do not.

And so on....

You all look like you're in the middle of aThey were exchanging information so enthusiastically that it was almost as if they were dealership salesmen....No, I doubt that even dealership salespeople gather information this diligently.

Afterwards, I left the observatory and headed for the restaurant, as I had promised to go to lunch with my husband's acquaintance, Mr. B, and the three of us.

And when we arrived at the restaurant and were shown to our table, the Porsche talk started again.How about a 964, how about a 73 Carrera, how about a GT3 from the XXX era...and so on. I was mostly just listening, and I found myself refilling more than 10 glasses of water.(Not exaggerating, really.)

Attracted by Porsche

Nevertheless.What is it about Porsche that fascinates grown-ups so much?I thought again.

I'm the type of person whose personality is insatiable and I want to try new things as soon as I can, so there is no one thing that I have been addicted to all my life long.

So.I've been fascinated by one thing for such a long time.I am not surprised that this is the case.

I was surprised to see that the "What is it about Porsche that makes it so appealing?My husband also said that he saw a Porsche when he was a child and decided that he would definitely buy one someday.

I asked my husband's acquaintance, Mr. B.

Hmmm...I wonder...But I guess the first thing is the design.The design is cool, I admire it, and maybe that's where it started.

He said, "I'm not a fan of Porsche. In response, I said, "Yes, Porsche's design is beautiful, but the motivation to hold on to that admiration for a long time is amazing. Also.It's amazing how that fever hasn't diminished since I bought it.I am." My husband said.

Porsche is so much more than the "longing" and "expectation" that I have been holding for many years.High performance as a sports carI guess. When I bought my first Porsche, a Boxster GTS, it took me about a year from order to delivery, so even though my expectations were pretty high.When I got on board, I was surprised to find that its performance lightly exceeded those expectations.
It's not only a great design but also an amazing industrial product, and I think I'll be more and more hooked on it after I get on board.

I see," he said. I see...Mr. B continued.

That's a thing, isn't it? Also.The more you know about it, the deeper it gets.I have been riding only water-cooled for a long time. For a long time I only drove water-cooled cars, but a while ago I started driving air-cooled cars as well. I have been riding only water-cooled for a long time, but I started to ride air-cooled a while ago, and I found out that it has different advantages. I found myself opening more and more new doors.

He said.

Indeed, that is understandable. I also think that Porsche's performance is really amazing, and that Porsches made 40 years ago can still run without problems, and that each model has a different charm.

However, some Porsche drivers, including my husband, have said, "Porsche is part of my life.Many of you have become "the" people. It's really amazing to get to that point.

Then Mr. B.

I know...but I've been thinking about it."Encounters with people"I guess. Buying the Porsche has expanded my encounters with people I would never have met on the job.
They are all good people, and some of them have been my best friends for 10 years. By buying a Porsche, I have been able to expand and deepen my relationships with people and learn a lot from the older people in my life...That "meeting" part is the most attractive part.I wonder if it is. Maybe this is not likely to happen with other car makers.

And. My husband, too.

Yes, that's right.Just because I bought an AMG, does that mean that I can connect with AMG owners and expand my circle of friends?I don't think that is the case. Even if there were, it would not be as much as Porsche.... As for the relationships I have made through Porsche, I think it is a valuable asset.

He said. I see.

The image I have of someone around me who likes Porsche is someone who is "pursuing" and "serious," who shows this attitude in his or her work, and who also has values of "enriching and enjoying life.

So I am sure they are on the same wavelength and attract each other very much.

The appeal of Porsche is immeasurable. I wonder what the wives of Porsche-loving husbands think about Porsches, and now I would like to hear their side of the story and write about it....

    Thank you very much.
    Thank you for the fun insights, I'll make love to you.
    I have been driving Porsche for about 30 years, and I am glad that I have been able to meet so many people through my Porsche.
    I feel that many people, especially those who like air-cooled Porsche, really like cars. Just like Porsche, many of them are serious and sincere.
    It is said that they are like their owners, right? I can't tell which one is the owner.

      Thank you for everything! And thank you for the other day in Ashiyuri!

      30 years of Porsche experience....wow, that's amazing....very deep....
      It is really convincing that Mr. Hiroppon says so.

      Porsche drivers I meet in Ashiari, especially those who also drive air-cooled
      Indeed, many of them really genuinely like cars.

      I feel very happy when I talk to you, I learn a lot, and
      I always think, "Oh, cars are so nice!

      >It's said that they are like their owners, isn't it? I don't know which one is the owner.
