A Ride in the Limited Edition 911 Speedster (991) — Only 1,948 Worldwide

Wow, just recently my husband had the incredible opportunity to ride in a friend’s 911 Speedster, and he wrote up his impressions in this article. Honestly, I’m so jealous! Please have a look if you’re interested. The 911 Speedster: Limited to 1,948 Units Worldwide A little while ago, a friend mentioned that their 911 Speedster had just been delivered, but I hadn’t yet had the chance to see the actual car, and some time passed....

Photographing the Porsche 911 GT3 and Nightscapes｜How to Capture Cars and Night Views Be...

External Camera Flash A little while ago, my husband purchased an external flash to attach to his current digital SLR camera. By using this external flash, he can take brighter, sharper photos than usual, making it possible to capture beautiful pictures even indoors or at night. It feels like professional gear, so I asked him, “Why did you buy something like that?” Until now, photos of our beloved car under cloudy skies or in shadowy...

Attaching Grill Badges to Our Porsche 911 GT3 and Air-Cooled 964

Porsche Grill Badges The other day, a package arrived from overseas addressed to my husband. When we opened it, inside was a Porsche grill badge. Now that I think about it, I’ve seen Porsches with these badges at the Royu Driveway observatory before. When I asked my husband about it, he said he had often seen Porsches with these badges on social media and thought, “That’s so cool, I want one on my Porsche too.”...

Today’s Porsche 911 GT3｜My First Night Drive

Porsche 911 GT3, Night Drive The other day, I had a reason to take the GT3 out at night, and my husband said, “If you’re just driving around the neighborhood, the engine won’t warm up properly before you’re done, so why not take it for a longer drive?” Taking him up on his suggestion, I decided to enjoy a little drive in the GT3. I thought, “Even if I’m just going for a short drive,...

Recording the Engine Sound of the Porsche 911 GT3

About Car Engine Sounds When driving, I’ve come to truly appreciate how important engine sounds are. Back when I had no interest in cars at all, I used to think, “Car engine sounds are just noisy.” But recently, I’ve come to believe that engine sounds are an essential and cherished part of the driving experience. That said, it’s hard to say “this car’s engine sound is the best” because the quality of an engine sound...

Finally Getting the Hang of the Porsche 911 GT3!

My First Drive in the 911 GT3 in a While The other day, I drove the Porsche 911 GT3 for the first time in a while. I hadn’t driven since late last year due to morning sickness, and even after feeling better, I hadn’t gotten behind the wheel—so it was probably about six months since my last drive. In the past, just the thought of the GT3 intimidated me, and I couldn’t drive it properly....

Porsche 911 964C2 The other day, I drove our air-cooled Porsche 911, the 964C2, for the first time in a while. The last time I drove it was in the fall of last year, so it had been over six months since I last got behind the wheel. My husband has been driving the air-cooled Porsche quite often lately, and every time he gets in, he says, The 964 is really something special. When I...

Porsche 911 GTS (991 Late Model) Test Drive – A Wife’s Everyday Use Review

911 Carrera GTS The other day, my husband was able to borrow a 911 Carrera GTS from an acquaintance, and I got to drive it for a while. Today, I’m sharing my impressions from that experience. I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to regularly drive various Porsches in this environment—it’s a rare and valuable experience. I’d like to take this chance to thank my husband’s acquaintances here (though I doubt they read this blog, haha)....
