My Husband Received a Porsche 911 GT3 Tailpipe Speaker for His Birthday

A Porsche-Themed Birthday Gift One of my husband’s friends, whom he’s known for 15 years, gives him a birthday present every year. He knows just how much my husband loves Porsche, so for the past few years, the gifts have all been Porsche-related. One year, he gave him a LEGO Porsche 911 GT3 RS, and my husband stayed up late working like crazy to finish building it, lol. A 911 GT3… Then, the other day,...

Does the Porsche 991.2 GT3 (Manual) Automatically Match Engine Speed on Upshifts?

My Husband’s Researching the GT3 The other day, my husband placed an order for a 911 GT3 Touring (991.2) at lightning speed. Since then, he’s been constantly researching the car at home, reading online reviews and magazine articles. I can’t help thinking, “Now that you’ve ordered it, do you really need to keep researching?” But then I remembered how, before our 971 Panamera was delivered, he ordered and devoured every magazine he could find about...

My Husband Ordered a Porsche 911 GT3 Touring Package—Without the Wing!

A GT3? Really? One afternoon, my husband suddenly emailed me: “H. just got in touch—the allocation for a GT3 Touring is available! If we’re going to buy it, apparently we need to choose the specs right away, so I’m heading to the Porsche Center now!” Wait, seriously!? (；ﾟДﾟ) Me: “Can we even get a parking space? What about the Boxster!?” Husband: “We’ll figure that out later! We can’t let this chance pass us by!” About...

How Good Is the Tiptronic in an Air-Cooled Porsche 911 (964 C2), Really?

Manual or Tiptronic? When my husband was buying a Porsche 911 (964 C2), he couldn’t decide between a manual transmission and Tiptronic. In the end, he chose Tiptronic. He initially considered a manual, but good-condition examples were hard to find. The ones he did find were either extremely expensive or had been modified in some way. My husband wanted a car in completely original condition, and with Tiptronic, there were several well-preserved examples with nearly...

What’s So Great About the 911? It’s been almost a month since our 911 (964 C2) was delivered on November 9. Time flies… My husband has driven it almost every day since then and has apparently put more than 1,000 km on it already. He really loves it, doesn’t he? (笑) You can read his first impressions here, but after spending more time behind the wheel, he started saying, “The way I feel about it...

Driving a Porsche 911 at Night on the Chugoku Expressway!

A Family of Four in an Air-Cooled 911 The other day, we took our air-cooled 911 (964 C2) to visit my husband’s parents, with all four of us on board. The round trip from our home takes about three hours by expressway. That morning, I was excitedly packing souvenirs and other things for the visit into the 911’s trunk, thinking, “This is our first family outing in an air-cooled 911!” But there was no room...
