Driving the Porsche 911 GT3 to the Heart of Japan Meeting

Touring with Wata, a Boxster Enthusiast My husband has long regarded Wata-san, famous for his blog about his Porsche Boxster (previously a BMW Alpina), as his “mentor.” Wata-san’s 981 Boxster, purchased new, has already surpassed 160,000 kilometers, having conquered countless roads all over Japan multiple times—a truly remarkable driver. My husband often said, I love driving and touring too, but I can’t match Wata-san. He’s really amazing. I hope to meet him someday and drive...

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. It had only been a little over a month since delivery, but he had quickly finished the break-in period by using it for commuting and some mid-distance touring. The reason was that he had planned to drive at Fuji Speedway soon at a Porsche Driving School (Porsche Track Experience),...

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. And just the other day, he drove on Japan’s only sandy beach where you can actually drive...

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. I only drove it for about 20 minutes to swap it with another car in the parking lot, but it was great to feel the GT3 again after such a long break. Our GT3 is a 991 late model GT3 Touring. The clutch on this GT3 is surprisingly light compared to the 981...

My husband wrote an article sharing his impressions after driving the 911 Cabriolet post-delivery. Please take a look if you’re interested. First Impressions of the 911 Cabriolet (992) It’s hard to believe it’s already been about two weeks since the Porsche 911 arrived at our home.

Porsche New 911 Carrera (992 Cabriolet) Delivered

911 Carrera Cabriolet Delivery The other day, we finally took delivery of the long-awaited 911 Cabriolet (992 model). Since we ordered it at the end of February this year, the wait was about seven months. （You can read about the timeline from order to delivery here） I had thought, “The COVID situation will probably cause a big delay,” but production started sooner than expected, and the car was delivered ahead of my imagination. I had...
