Adding Grille Badges to a Porsche 911 GT3 and Air-Cooled 964

Porsche Grille Badges A package from overseas arrived for my husband the other day. Inside were Porsche grille badges. It reminded me that I’d seen Porsches wearing badges like these at the Royu Driveway overlook. When I asked my husband about them, he said he’d seen Porsches with grille badges on social media and elsewhere for a while, and often thought, “Those look great—I’d love one on my own Porsche.” Still, putting something like this...

Today’s Porsche 911 GT3 | My First Night Drive

A Night Drive in the Porsche 911 GT3 The other night, I had a reason to take the GT3 out for a short drive. My husband suggested, “If you only drive around the neighborhood, you’ll be back before the engine has warmed up. Why not go a little farther?” So I took him up on it and went for a proper spin in the GT3. “If I want to drive far enough to warm up...

A 700-km, Two-Day Road Trip in an Air-Cooled Porsche 911 (964)【Part 1】

The other day, my husband took our air-cooled Porsche out for a solo road trip and wrote about the experience. We’re sharing his story in two parts—read on for Part 1. Porsche 911 Road Trip: Day 1 I finally had some time to myself, so I decided to take an overnight road trip—something I hadn’t done in a while. My companion for this trip was our Porsche 911 Carrera 2 (964). It’s been about a...

Recording the Engine Sound of a Porsche 911 GT3

Why Engine Sound Matters The more I drive, the more I realize just how important engine sound is. Before I became interested in cars, I used to think, “Car engines are just noisy.” These days, though, I see engine sound as an essential part of the driving experience. It’s hard to declare that one car has “the best engine sound,” because what sounds good is entirely subjective. A sound one person loves might leave someone...

I’m Finally Starting to Understand the Joy of the Porsche 911 GT3!

Back Behind the Wheel of a 911 GT3 The other day, I drove a Porsche 911 GT3 for the first time in a while. I hadn’t been able to drive it for some time because of morning sickness starting late last year, and even after I felt better, I still hadn’t taken it out. It must have been about six months since I last drove it. I used to get so intimidated just by the...

Driving Our Air-Cooled Porsche 911 (964) Again After a Long Break

Porsche 911 964 C2 The other day, I took our air-cooled Porsche 911, a 964 C2, out for the first time in a while. I’m pretty sure the last time I drove it was last fall, so it had been more than six months. My husband has been driving the air-cooled Porsche a lot lately, and every time he takes it out, he says: The 964 is just so good. Whenever I swap it with...

Porsche 911 GTS (991.2) Review: A Wife’s Take on Everyday Driving

911 Carrera GTS The other day, my husband borrowed a 911 Carrera GTS from an acquaintance, and we had the chance to drive it for a little while. Today, I’m sharing my impressions. I’m truly grateful that we get to experience so many different Porsches in our everyday lives. It’s a rare opportunity, and I’d like to take this chance to thank my husband’s friends for letting us enjoy their cars (though I doubt they...

How Does the Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS Compare Across the 991 Generations?

My husband recently had the chance to drive an acquaintance’s Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS, and he’s written up his impressions. The 911 Targa was a car I once dreamed of owning, so I hope you enjoy reading his take. Behind the Wheel of the 911 Targa 4 GTS The other day, I had the opportunity to drive an early 991.1 Targa 4 GTS, albeit briefly. Around the same time, I’d borrowed an acquaintance’s later...

A Family Road Trip in a Porsche 911 GT3 and Boxster

A 911 GT3 and a Boxster The other day, our family took a Porsche 911 GT3 and a Boxster on a quick trip to Arima Onsen. We got the idea at the last minute, checked for availability, and found a room, so off we went. It was an unusually sunny day. We packed a fairly large suitcase, and when my husband tried to load it into the car, it wouldn’t fit in either the GT3...
