Testing the Porsche 911 (992) Carrera S Cabriolet with PASM Sports Chassis

PASM Sports Suspension I’ve driven many current 992-generation Porsche 911s, but this time it’s a somewhat rare model equipped with the PASM sports suspension. The PASM sports suspension, also known as the PASM sports chassis, features a ride height lowered by about 10mm. The spring rates are increased, making it an option designed to boost performance even further. This PASM sports suspension is standard equipment on GTS models from 991.2 onward (except the Targa), as...

Test Drive the Porsche 911 Type 996｜A Masterpiece That Deserves More Recognition!

Porsche 911 Type 996 On this blog, I have experienced and reported on quite a number of 911s, from the original 911 to the ’73 Carrera and all the way to the 992 GT3, but for some reason, there are hardly any articles about the 996 and 997. Regarding the 996, I have done only one review of a later model Carrera 4S, but that car had modified suspension and wheels, so it wasn’t a...

How to Drive a Porsche 911 (964) Tiptronic

964 Tiptronic Recently, the prices of used 964 models have been rising relentlessly. Just recently, it became a hot topic that even the 964 Tiptronic (Tip) surpassed 10 million yen, but there are now examples exceeding 17 million yen. This situation is, of course, partly due to the popularity of the 964, but another factor is the recent weak yen, which has made Japanese used cars relatively affordable from a global perspective. That said, the...

What It Takes to Earn Enough to Buy a Porsche

Increasing Your Income to Buy a Porsche The other day, I wrote an article titled “To Buy a Porsche, Increase Your Income,” and after reading it, someone sent me this message on Twitter: I don’t have any Porsche owners around me, so I rarely get a chance to hear their stories. I’d love to read about your husband’s philosophy on earning and his way of thinking. So, I thought about it. I’ve occasionally written on...

To Buy a Porsche, Increase Your Earnings

Increase Your Earnings to Buy a Porsche The other day, my husband tweeted something that got shared quite a bit. 節約ばかりで稼ごうという気持ちがないやつにポルシェは買えない。 — Hiro@ポルシェがわが家にやってきた (@boxster_gts) December 9, 2021 “You can’t buy a Porsche if you only focus on saving and don’t have the drive to earn more.” That really hit home. He was surprised by how many likes that casual tweet got. And he said, Of course, being mindful about not wasting money and saving is...

Is the Most Fun Part of Buying a Car the Time Spent Considering Options? | My Journey to ...

Which Porsche Model Do I Want? As I’ve mentioned on the blog recently, my Swift Sport was delivered in October. I really enjoy the Swift Sport and plan to keep driving it for a while, but at the same time, my goal to purchase a Porsche is still very much alive. However, just saying “buy a Porsche” is simple, but there are so many models and trims, and over the past few years, the Porsche...

Can I Achieve My Goal of “Buying a Porsche with My Own Money”?

I Want to Buy a Porsche Myself Since around this summer, I’ve started a new challenge. An entrepreneur I know asked me, “Could you take on something like this?” and I jumped at the chance. Just like when I started this blog from scratch, this project is about creating something from zero and growing it. I didn’t know if it would succeed, and with parenting and blogging already keeping me busy, I knew it would...

Just Bought Porsche 911 Broke Down! Understanding the PADM Error

PADM Error As I mentioned recently on a Twitter Space, while driving my newly purchased early 991 Carrera 4 GTS, I suddenly noticed a PADM error warning on the instrument panel. The error is displayed in white (there also seems to be a yellow version), so it doesn’t affect driving and the car runs normally without any issues. From my research across various SNS platforms, this PADM error appears to be a common fault. It’s...

Why I Bought a Used Porsche 911 (991.1 Early Model)

Some readers might wonder, why I own the latest 992 model and until recently even had a GT3 Touring Package, yet I deliberately chose to buy an older, early 991 model used. This time, I’d like to talk about why I chose the 991, which is technically inferior to the 992 and GT3, and why I went for the early model. Why buy an older model with lower performance on purpose? I used to think...

Used Porsche Purchase Story ②｜The 991.1 911 Carrera 4 GTS Has Arrived at Our Home

The other day, I wrote an article about purchasing a 991.1 911 Carrera 4 GTS, and today, continuing from last time, I’d like to share the delivery day and my first impressions. Delivery Day After preparing and sending the necessary documents, about three weeks later, the delivery day finally arrived. You can pay extra to have the car transported on a carrier, but I chose not to. As a true Porsche enthusiast who believes the...
