Oil Change for Porsche 911 GT3 at the Dealer: How Much Did It Cost?

GT3 Surpasses 10,000 Kilometers The 911 GT3 was delivered last May. In just a year and a half, it has already exceeded 10,000 kilometers (currently 10,605 km). Even though my husband often goes touring with other cars, the fact that the GT3 has passed 10,000 km really shows how much he loves driving. Recently, my husband mentioned something about the GT3: The feel of the GT3’s steering wheel has changed a bit. It used to...

Porsche 911 Carrera (992) Oil Change Costs and More

Oil Change for Porsche 911 (992) The other day, my husband already had the oil and filter changed on his 911 Cabriolet (992) at the dealer.

Driving the Porsche 911 GT3 on the Chirihama Nagisa Driveway!

Heading to Chirihama Nagisa Driveway Lately, my husband has been going on tours almost every week. (Just recently, I wrote an article saying his touring enthusiasm wasn’t as strong as before, haha.) Often, for these long-distance tours, he stays overnight, heading out with a huge load of camera gear and other equipment, like some kind of film crew.

The Proper Way to Warm Up Your Porsche

Warming Up Your Porsche The other day, I received this question on Twitter: Could you please tell me about warming up, including for the GTS? I feel like the idle stabilizes around when the water temperature gauge reaches about 70°C in roughly 20 minutes, so I try to start driving after that… but since there’s no clear rule, I’m still experimenting. That was the question. Back when I wasn’t interested in cars, I had no...

Took the Porsche 911 GT3 for a Spin After a Long Time!

A Long-Awaited Drive in the GT3 The other day, I drove the 911 GT3 (MT) for the first time in three months.
