Touring in the Porsche 911 (992)! Cruising Okayama’s Wide-Area Farm Roads!

Heading to Okayama’s Wide-Area Farm Roads It’s been almost a year since I bought the 992, but surprisingly, I haven’t really gone on a proper solo touring trip yet. I’ve gone to Fuji Speedway with my family and joined group tours with Porsche friends, so most of my drives have involved multiple people. I haven’t really done much solo touring. This time, I finally took out the 992 to join the Hiruzen MT (Meeting) held...

The Allure of the Porsche 911 (992): The Joy of Throttle Control

Throttle Control in the Porsche 911 (992) The other day, I shared an article praising the base model of the 992 Porsche 911, and I mentioned that my husband’s Porsche friends were also amazed and impressed by the performance of the 992 base model. When I later asked one of them what exactly they liked so much, they said: “The handling and solid suspension feel almost comparable to a GT3,” and on top of the...

No Regrets About Selling the Porsche 911 GT3 Thanks to the 992’s Presence

Do We Regret Selling the Porsche 911 GT3 Touring? We sold our Porsche 911 GT3 Touring this past April. It was a cherished car, carefully specified and purchased by my husband with great dedication. However, its performance was so high that we rarely had the chance to fully unleash it in everyday driving, so we reluctantly let it go. Since then, we’ve received many questions like “Do you regret selling the 911 GT3?” and “Have...

Took Photos of Two Porsche 911s in Aventurine Green Parked Side by Side!

Porsche 911 in Aventurine Green Metallic Our home’s 911 Cabriolet (992 model) sports the Aventurine Green Metallic body color. This is a new color introduced with the 992 generation, a beautifully unique shade that’s somewhere between a deep brown and green.

My Sister Who Bought a Mini The other day, I wrote an article about my husband’s sister, who, after 20 years as a paper driver, finally bought her first car. The car she chose was a BMW Mini Cooper D (3-door) in a stylish British Racing Green with a white roof. She’s been driving almost every day and taking special lessons from her husband on weekends, even practicing on the Royu Driveway, so she’s gotten...

How My Impressions of the New Porsche 911 (992) Changed After 9 Months

Riding the 911 Cabriolet (992) After a While We have a 911 Cabriolet (992 model) at home. My husband has driven it about 5,000 km so far, but I only drive it occasionally. He often says to me, “Why don’t you drive it more!?” but since I usually only drive short distances—like a few minutes to the supermarket or to pick up our child from kindergarten—I think, “It feels like such a waste to take...

The Feeling of a Porsche Partner A while after our 911 Cabriolet (992) was delivered, my husband said, The 992 is just amazing…! I might not even need the GT3 or Boxster anymore.
