What I Learned About the Porsche 911 GT3’s Charms After One Year of Ownership

Once Again, the Porsche 911 GT3 Lately, I’ve been driving the GT3 about once a month, and each time I get behind the wheel, I’m struck by the feeling of “Yes, this is it!” and a fresh wave of amazement thinking, “So this is another side of its charm!” It really makes me realize how profoundly deep Porsche is as a brand, and how truly special the GT3 is as a car. The other day,...

The Battery on Our Air-Cooled Porsche 911… We currently have six cars at home, but since our driveway can only fit two, we park them in several places like near our neighborhood or my husband’s workplace. Then the other day, my husband said, “I’ll be coming home today in the air-cooled Porsche (964) parked near the office” and left for work. Since it had only been parked there for about a week, I didn’t think...

Installing ICE FUSE on Our Porsche 911 (Air-Cooled 964 Model)

A little while ago, my husband installed something called an ICE FUSE, and he wrote an article about it, so I’d like to share it with you. The other day, while browsing social media, I came across a post saying, “I installed an ICE FUSE on my air-cooled Porsche.” Curious, I looked into what it was, and it sounded quite interesting. So, I ordered one right away and installed it on our air-cooled 911 (964...

Photographing the Porsche 911 GT3 and Nightscapes｜How to Capture Cars and Night Views Be...

External Camera Flash A little while ago, my husband purchased an external flash to attach to his current digital SLR camera. By using this external flash, he can take brighter, sharper photos than usual, making it possible to capture beautiful pictures even indoors or at night. It feels like professional gear, so I asked him, “Why did you buy something like that?” Until now, photos of our beloved car under cloudy skies or in shadowy...

Attaching Grill Badges to Our Porsche 911 GT3 and Air-Cooled 964

Porsche Grill Badges The other day, a package arrived from overseas addressed to my husband. When we opened it, inside was a Porsche grill badge. Now that I think about it, I’ve seen Porsches with these badges at the Royu Driveway observatory before. When I asked my husband about it, he said he had often seen Porsches with these badges on social media and thought, “That’s so cool, I want one on my Porsche too.”...

It had been over a year and a half since we last took a mid-distance drive with all four of us in the air-cooled Porsche.

Today’s Porsche 911 GT3｜My First Night Drive

Porsche 911 GT3, Night Drive The other day, I had a reason to take the GT3 out at night, and my husband said, “If you’re just driving around the neighborhood, the engine won’t warm up properly before you’re done, so why not take it for a longer drive?” Taking him up on his suggestion, I decided to enjoy a little drive in the GT3. I thought, “Even if I’m just going for a short drive,...
