Is It a Man’s Job to Pay for Dates? The other day, a woman’s tweet sparked a lively discussion on Twitter. You might ask why men should have to pay for dates. But women spend money on clothes, makeup, and beauty treatments for the occasion. They get up early to get ready because they want to hear you say they look cute. So please keep that in mind and treat her to the date. That...
Why I Want a Porsche Today, I want to write about the first thing you should do if you’ve decided that someday, you’d like to own a Porsche. My answer is simple: change your environment. More specifically, I think you should spend time around Porsche owners. That said, I haven’t bought a Porsche with my own money yet, so I’m not speaking from a position of authority here. This is just my personal perspective—but first,...
I Read All Kinds of Car Blogs Since I write a Porsche blog, I often look for car blogs to read. Every time, I’m reminded just how much people love their cars. When I read blogs about the Swift Sport I drive now, I see owners changing parts and customizing their cars to suit their taste and driving style. It’s clear they’re having a great time with car ownership—and I often learn something, too. At...
Deciding to Buy a 911 I’m now at the point of asking myself, “Should I buy my first Porsche—a 911?” There’s no guarantee I’ll get a production slot, so there’s a real chance I won’t be able to buy one. But simply making the decision that I want to buy a Porsche feels like a big step for me. Not so long ago, I couldn’t have imagined ever buying a Porsche in my life. So...

This time, I’d like to explore that idea and share some thoughts based on my own experience. Can Owning a Porsche Change Your Life? “Can owning a Porsche change your life?” The short answer is that buying a Porsche makes life better for some people, while others...
A Husband Who Supports Me, Not One Who Holds Me Back Recently, I got together with relatives at my husband’s family home and had a chance to catch up with my sister-in-law. We’re close in age, and we always have plenty to talk about. I started my own business, and she runs a shop of her own. During our visit, she told me something that stuck with me. I realized all over again how lucky...
It’s been five full years since I started my Porsche blog. Back in June 2017, just a few months after giving birth to my second daughter, I started the blog on a whim. I never imagined it would grow into a blog read by so many people five years later. So, to mark this milestone, I’d like to look back on the blog’s journey and what I’ve gained from running it. How Blogging Made Me...
Business Negotiations Are Diplomacy Between Nations The other day, I had a work-related decision to make and wanted someone to give me the confidence to move forward, so I talked it over with my husband. I don’t usually ask him for advice about work. But the decision I was considering didn’t quite match the advice I’d been getting from people around me, and I wanted to hear what he would do if he were in...
What Should You Drive to a Dealership? Readers send me questions and messages every day through the blog. I thought it would be nice to start sharing some of them—and my answers—with everyone, as long as the people who sent them are happy for me to do so. Here’s a question I received recently. Have you ever noticed a difference in how a dealership or shop treats you depending on what you drive? Do you...
A Little About Us as a Porsche-Owner Couple This year marks our 10th wedding anniversary. I know, I know—“Who cares?”—but hear me out… lol. We got married in 2012. Naturally, we didn’t have a Porsche back then, and I wasn’t interested in cars at all. So I never imagined that ten years later, my husband and I would be running a Porsche blog together. These days, we run the blog together and host something like...
