Delivery Day Is Finally Near: Porsche 911 GT3 Has Arrived at the Dealership

The GT3 Touring Arrives at the Porsche Center Last December, my husband made a lightning-fast decision on the spec and ordered a Porsche 911 (991.2) GT3 Touring. 夫が ポルシェ 911 GT3 ツーリングパッケージ（羽なし）を注文してきた。 To get to know the GT3, he ordered magazines covering the 991.2 generation and devoured reviews of the GT3 Touring. “I’ll be ready whenever it’s delivered!” he’d say. Then, the other day, we finally heard that it had arrived at our local Porsche...

I Went to Complete the Delivery Paperwork for Our Porsche 911 GT3 Touring!

Getting the 911 GT3 Touring Delivery Paperwork Done The other day, my husband said he was heading to the dealership to complete the delivery paperwork for his 911 GT3 Touring, so our daughters and I decided to go along. Unfortunately, it was raining that day. Figures… (-_-) Still, we tried to look on the bright side: the car wasn’t actually being delivered that day, so at least the rain wouldn’t spoil its big arrival. When...

The Distinctive Smell of an Air-Cooled Porsche 911—What Is It, Exactly?

The Smell of the Green Porsche My husband had been driving our air-cooled 911 (964) to work every day for a while. One evening, when he got home, our eldest daughter ran over to him, saying, “Welcome home!” (When she’s in a good mood, she rushes over and wraps her arms around him. When she’s not, she ignores him completely… At five years old, she already has moods as changeable as the weather.) Then she...

Porsche 911: Is the 991 More Fun Than the New 992?

911DAYS My husband buys and studies every magazine that features a Porsche he’s interested in. When he was considering buying an air-cooled 911, he tracked down magazines from the time the 964 was launched and read them every day. More recently, perhaps because he’s waiting for delivery of a 911 GT3 (991.2), he’s been spending a lot of time with magazines featuring the 991. The other day, I spotted issue 75 of 911DAYS on the...

Our Porsche 911 (991.2) GT3 Touring Package Is on Its Way — Why My Husband Chose This Spec

The GT3 Touring Package It’s been quite a while since I wrote, “My husband has ordered a GT3 Touring Package. I’ll write more about the options and spec later” on the blog. 夫が ポルシェ 911 GT3 ツーリングパッケージ（羽なし）を注文してきた。 So, I’d like to explain why my husband chose the GT3 Touring Package and how he decided on its options and specification. Options ultimately come down to personal preference, but I hope it’s helpful to hear the thinking...

The New Porsche 911 (992): My Husband’s Ideal Spec—Priced Up in the Configurator

Our Usual Configurator Ritual Whenever Porsche announces a new model, my husband heads to the Porsche Japan website and opens the car configurator. “If I were getting one, this is how I’d spec it,” he says as he dreams up his ideal build. He’s not actually buying one, though! (He’s done the same with the new Cayenne in the past.) Ever since the new 911 (992) was unveiled last year, he’s been devouring YouTube videos...

They Really Go This Far! A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Developing the New Porsche 911 (992)

A Video About Developing the New 911 The other day, my husband told me, “There’s a video showing how the new 911 (992) was developed,” and sent me the link. Titled “Porsche 911 (992) – HOW IT’S DESIGNED,” the video runs for about 30 minutes. “Thirty minutes? That’s a long time…” (-_-) I thought, but I started watching anyway. As you’d expect from Porsche, it revealed a development process so astonishingly thorough that I found...

Replacing the Speakers in Our Air-Cooled Porsche 911 (964) with Porsche Classic Parts!

The Porsche 964’s Speaker Distortion Problem Ever since our air-cooled 911 (964 C2) arrived last October, it has completely captured my husband’s heart. Almost everything that had caught his eye was taken care of before delivery, so he had no complaints about how it drove. But he kept saying, “There’s just one thing that really bothers me.” It was this: The speaker cones (made of paper back then) had deteriorated so badly that turning up...
