Our weekly Saturday 9:00 PM live stream radio show on this blog, Welcome Home, PORSCHE, has been receiving more attention from Porsche fans than we expected. We broadcast simultaneously on YouTube and Twitter Spaces, and this marks our 26th episode since starting simultaneous streaming. Considering we originally streamed on Clubhouse, we’ve probably done hundreds of broadcasts by now. Starting this episode, we’ve decided to write summary articles of the YouTube broadcasts. Since each show runs...

Finally Meeting My Dream Porsche Driver After Five Years!

Sapphire Blue Boxster, Mr. Wata The other day, after about five years of wanting to meet him, I finally got the chance to meet someone I had admired for a long time. His name is Mr. Wata. After running an Alpina blog, he now operates the Porsche Boxster blog, “Wind & Light, Boxster.” Mr. Wata’s beloved 981 Boxster has an incredible current mileage of 230,000 kilometers (and it’s probably even more by now). In Japan,...

Rediscovering the Ultimate Joy of Driving the Boxster

　 A Long-Awaited Drive in the Boxster The other day, I had the chance to drive the Porsche Boxster (981 Boxster GTS) again after quite some time. Recently, I’ve mostly been driving the Carrera T delivered at the end of May, but one day my husband came home in the Boxster and said, “This is truly fun! It’s just too much fun!” He spoke about its joy as if it were the delivery day all...

Kyushu Touring 2023 Day 3 with Porsche Boxster GTS (981)

Kyushu Touring Day 2 Off to Ibusuki Skyline On a morning when the sun appeared and the rain had stopped, we headed for the Ibusuki Skyline in the Porsche Boxster. This was the main destination of this touring trip. The Ibusuki Skyline starts from Taniyama IC, and after paying the 100 yen toll, traffic thinned out significantly. From the occasional viewpoints along the way, the majestic Sakurajima volcano peeked through. Some parts of the road...

Kyushu Touring 2023 Day 2 with the Porsche Boxster GTS (981)

Kyushu Touring Day 2 We woke up to unfortunate rainy weather this morning.At 8:00, I met TAKURO-san in the lobby of our hotel in Yanagawa City to discuss today’s route. We set off aiming for Unzen. Tara-dake Orange Highway in the Heavy Rain It was raining steadily, but both Boxsters were equipped with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. Plus, the tread depth was more than sufficient. Even in the heavy rain, the Boxsters handled confidently...

Driving a Porsche MT Becomes So Much More Fun! Finally Mastered Blipping.

A Long-Awaited Boxster Drive Yesterday, I drove the Boxster (981 GTS) for the first time in a while. Whenever I get behind the wheel of our Porsche, I always write “It’s been a while…,” but this time, I honestly couldn’t even remember the last time I drove the Boxster—it had been that long. Usually, I drive my beloved Swift Sport (MT). It’s been a year since I took delivery, and I drive it almost every...

From Paper Driver Wife to Manual Transmission Driver I used to have no interest in cars at all and was a paper driver for over 10 years after getting my license. After marrying my husband, I gradually became interested in cars, and over about six years, I was able to comfortably drive a Porsche Boxster (981 GTS) manual transmission, and now my current beloved car is a Suzuki Swift Sport with a manual transmission. The...

Typical Porsche Owner Story? Why Many Owners Switch from the Latest Models to Their Prede...

Porsche’s Return to Its Roots The other day, my husband was talking about something. He said, “Among the people I know, quite a few buy relatively new Porsche models, gain experience, and then gradually switch to older models or add them to their collection. It’s like a kind of Porsche ‘return to the ancestors’ (laughs). For example, some who drove the latest 991 (992 generation) gradually went back to the late 991, then the early...

The Joy of High-Performance Cars Like Porsche Grows with the Driver’s Skill

Back When I Couldn’t Drive a Manual About five years ago, I could barely drive a manual transmission car. Every time I got behind the wheel of the only manual car we had at home, the Boxster GTS (981), I thought, “There’s no way I’ll ever be able to drive a manual car.” My sense of defeat just kept growing. My feet wouldn’t leave the accelerator or clutch pedals, and I half-wondered, “Does the Boxster’s...
