Repainting the Wheels of Our Porsche 911 (964) – Do Cars Have Souls Too?

Repainting the Wheels of the 911 (964) The saying, “things have souls,” really rings true. Even with electronic devices, if you treat them carefully, they work well for a long time. Sometimes, the moment you say, “It’s been acting up lately, so maybe I should replace it,” it suddenly starts working perfectly again. I wonder if the same applies to cars. The other day, my husband had the wheels of our 911 (964) repainted at...

Has the New Porsche 911 (992) Become Just a Passenger Car? A Porsche Owner’s Perspective

About the Porsche 911 (992) When test drives for the current 911 (992) first began, I occasionally came across less-than-favorable reviews saying things like, “The 992 is so easy to drive it’s become just a passenger car” or “The 992 isn’t fun anymore.” But is that really the case? The first time my spouse and I test drove a 992, it was a 911 Carrera 4S. It was indeed very easy to drive, with a...

Driving Position of the Porsche 911 (992)｜How Does It Compare to the 991 and 981?

Driving Position of the Porsche 911 The other day, my husband came home after driving the 911 Cabriolet (992) and started talking about it. The ride of the 992 is firm but smooth. Sure, you can feel some road surface irregularities, but compared to right after delivery, the ride quality has improved a lot. Also, the 992’s driving position is really easy to find. It might be the easiest driving position to get comfortable with...

Porsche GT3 vs. GTS Models: Which Is Better for Long-Distance Touring?

About Porsche’s GTS Models At the end of the year, my husband went on a touring trip in the Boxster GTS and said thoughtfully: The GTS model, true to its name Grand Touring Sport, really is well suited for touring. It’s actually more ideal than the GT3. That’s what he said. When I asked him why, Of course, it’s fun to drive on great roads, but even when driving slowly on regular roads to get...

Test Drive of a 1976 Porsche 911S Targa (Sportomatic)

The other day, my husband had the opportunity to drive a 1976 911S Targa on the Royu Driveway and wrote a report about it. I’d be delighted if you take a look. Porsche 911S Targa When you think of the Porsche 911 Targa, it carries a special image. It’s like a coupe but not quite, like a cabriolet but not exactly. Recently, the heritage design edition of the new 911 (992 model) Targa 4S, limited...

Five Porsches at Home: Which One Would My Husband Keep If He Had to Choose?

Porsche Lineup Currently, our household has a total of five Porsches: Porsche 911 GT3 (991 late model), 911 (964 C2), 911 Cabriolet (992), Boxster GTS (981), and Cayenne E-Hybrid. (When I think about it again, that’s quite a collection…) Recently, my husband was asked by an acquaintance, “Regardless of future value increases or rarity, if you had to keep only one from your current lineup, which one would you keep?” I asked him, “That’s a...

What I Feel Driving the 911 GT3, While Usually Behind the Wheel of a Cayenne

Getting Back Behind the Wheel of the Porsche 911 GT3 At home, we have sports cars like the Boxster (MT), 911 Cabriolet, 911 GT3 (MT), and a 911 (964), but since they’re often parked near the station or my husband’s workplace, and given that they’re mostly two-seaters (the 911 technically seats four, but it’s basically just two seats in practice…), I rarely get the chance to drive them. My husband says, “You should drive them...

Porsche 911 (Air-Cooled 964) Vehicle Inspection: Costs and Details

Porsche 911 (Air-Cooled 964) Vehicle Inspection The other day, in the article “Riding a Refreshed Porsche 911 (Air-Cooled 964) Felt Like a Brand-New Car,” I mentioned that I would share the details of the vehicle inspection later. So this time, I want to write about the costs and contents of the inspection. For this inspection, I asked B-Force, who has been taking care of the 964’s maintenance since delivery. Here is the breakdown of the...
