Revisiting a Porsche Owner’s Garage House: It’s Basically a Museum Now!

A Porsche Owner’s Meticulously Crafted Garage The other day, I had the pleasure of visiting the garage of a Porsche owner who I often interact with. I had visited once before, but this time my husband had to drop off some car parts, so he kindly asked, “Since we’re going anyway, want to come along?” This owner’s garage is incredibly refined and filled with thoughtful details—a truly wonderful space. In the past, when I thought...

My Brother’s Ferrari GTC4 Lusso T Has Arrived: A Porsche Owner’s Perspective

The other day, my brother-in-law came over in his newly delivered Ferrari GTC4 Lusso T. I’m already nine months pregnant with a big belly, and lately I get carsick when riding in sporty cars (though I’m fine when I’m driving myself…), so only my husband got to ride this time. That said, my husband wrote down his impressions from the test drive, so please have a look if you’re interested. My brother, who had been...

Sunday Morning Gathering at Royu Driveway Again – Porsche 356, GT3RS, Ferrari…etc. ...

Gathering at Royu Driveway Last weekend, my husband planned to join the morning gathering at Royu Driveway, so I decided to join him after a long time. Since it was cherry blossom season, my mother-in-law came to our house to help watch the kids while we enjoyed the flowers. This time, there was no accident like “the kids getting sick the day before,” so we were able to participate as planned… but then the weather...

A Mini Touring Trip in the Ferrari 488 Spider – Impressions and Comparisons with Porsche ...

Ferrari 488 Spider Previously on the blog, I wrote that my brother-in-law apparently bought a Ferrari. Just recently, my husband went on a brotherly touring trip with that freshly delivered Ferrari 488 Spider. Since his brother had some work-related inspections to do, he tagged along, heading north on Route 29, crossing the snow-dusted Tokura Pass, and extending their journey toward the Tottori area. When my husband came home that day, he said, “It was pretty...

Analyzing My Car-Loving Husband and Brother-in-Law: Exploring the Differences Between Por...

A Story About Two Car-Loving Brothers My husband proudly admits he’s a car enthusiast, and his younger brother shares the same passion. In a world where interest in cars seems to be fading, it’s rare to find siblings both so into cars. Just recently, I got a message from my brother-in-law saying he had purchased a Ferrari 488 Spider. Wow, both brothers are really living large these days (；ﾟДﾟ). However, even though both love cars,...

Porsche 911 GT3, Ferrari, Lamborghini Gather at Royu Driveway

Sunday Morning at Royu Driveway If you’re a car enthusiast living in the Keihanshin area, you’re probably well acquainted with the Royu Driveway. Every Sunday morning around 8 a.m., the lookout point fills up with sports cars and supercars, where everyone enjoys chatting about cars, taking turns driving each other’s vehicles, and spending quality time together. Incidentally, our home is just a 15-minute drive from Royu Driveway, so my husband often heads there for a...

Simple Question: “What’s the Difference Between Porsche Fans and Ferrari Fans?”

One Day, a Sudden Question “Why are Porsche fans and Ferrari fans so different?” I suddenly wondered one day. Porsche fans tend to be quite geeky… When I glanced at posts in a Porsche enthusiast Facebook group my husband belongs to, I was surprised by all the nerdy posts like “Air-cooled engines are the best” or “Finally finished the break-in after 200,000 km ( ´ー｀)!” About the Porsche Driving School, “There are definitely a lot...

First Time Joining the Supercar Gathering @ Royu! Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, and More…

Supercar Gathering @ Royu on Sunday Morning Every Sunday around 8 a.m., there’s a supercar gathering (sort of) at the Royu Driveway’s lookout point. It’s less of a formal meet-up and more of a relaxed, come-as-you-please event where people arrive freely, drive freely, and leave freely. Although I live about a 10-minute drive from the Royu Driveway, I had never actually been there before. That’s because I thought “many people might come just to show...

Ranking of Dream Supercar Brands and a Friend Who Dreamed of Ferrari

Dream Supercars I came across this article. Top 20 Popular Foreign Cars by Manufacturer and Type! Also Featuring Used Car Prices Inside, there was a “Top 3 Dream Foreign Supercar Brands Ranking”, and the ranking was as follows: 1st place: Ferrari 2nd place: Lamborghini 3rd place: Porsche I thought, “Makes sense…” and suddenly remembered my university seminar classmate M, who passionately dreamed back then, saying “Someday, I’m going to buy a Ferrari!” M, Who Dreamed...
