What It’s Like to Travel by Porsche | A 1,100 km Weekend Road Trip in a Porsche 911 (964)...

My husband recently took his air-cooled Porsche 911 (964) on a road trip to Shikoku. After a round of maintenance, the 964 is apparently in excellent shape, and he had such a great time on the trip that he wrote up a travel diary. We hope you enjoy it. Road-Tripping in an Air-Cooled Porsche 911 (964) It’s been two and a half years since I bought the car, and I’ve now covered more than 15,000...

Goodbye, GT3: Why We Decided to Sell Our Porsche 911 GT3

The Porsche 911 GT3 We’d Always Dreamed Of My husband had dreamed of owning a Porsche 911 GT3 for years, and in May 2019, one finally came home with us. Ours was a rare version of the GT3: the Touring, without the rear wing. Without the wing, it could almost pass for an ordinary 911 at first glance. But there was an unmistakable aura about it—and finished in Crayon, it had the feel of a...

Six Months After Taking Delivery of Our New Porsche 911 (992): What My Husband Thinks

The Porsche That Feels Like a Partner Not long after taking delivery of our 911 Cabriolet (992), my husband said: The 992 is incredible…! I might not even need a GT3 or a Boxster. Forget future prices or resale value—if I had to keep just one car, it would absolutely be the 992. A few months have passed since then, and my husband has been driving our cars regularly. Lately, though, he’s been saying something...

The Latest Porsche 911 (992) Put to the Test: Trying Wet Mode on a Rain-Soaked Track

A Porsche 911 at Fuji Speedway The other day, Fuji Speedway hosted a track day organized by 911DAYS magazine, and my husband took part in his 911 Cabriolet (992). When he signed up, he was thinking: Which car should I take to the next track day…? I’ve never driven the GT3 at Fuji Speedway, so maybe I’ll take that. But then I decided to go along—the woman who seems to bring heavy rain, howling storms,...

The Unique Driving Pleasure of Every Porsche Model

Back Behind the Wheel of an Air-Cooled Porsche 911 (964) About two and a half years ago, my husband bought an air-cooled Porsche 911 (964 C2) with around 50,000 kilometers on the clock. Before we knew it, the odometer was closing in on 70,000. We’ve certainly covered a lot of ground… Over the past two years, my husband has had the 964 serviced several times and replaced parts of the interior. It’s now in excellent...

Porsche 911 GT3 Test Drive: The PDK and Manual Are Worlds Apart!

Test-Driving a Porsche 911 GT3 with PDK The other day, my husband got to test-drive an owner’s late-991 Porsche 911 GT3 with PDK. The owner kindly offered, “Your wife should take it for a drive, too,” so I gratefully took him up on it and drove the car myself. I was surprised by how different it felt from our late-991 GT3 Touring with a manual transmission. My husband has already written a detailed review of...

The Difference Between the Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet and 911 Turbo Cabriolet

911 Turbo Cabriolet The other day, a reader left this comment on the blog: I used to drive a Macan Turbo, but I fell in love with the 911 after test-driving a 992-generation 911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet. I went on to buy a 992-generation 911 Turbo Cabriolet. I was amazed by how different the Carrera 4S Cabriolet felt from the Turbo Cabriolet during the test drive, so I thought I’d share a few impressions. Some...
