(Not that I\u2019ve ever been there.)<\/span> Here in the Kansai region, it would look right at home around Kobe\u2019s Daimaru department store or parked outside a luxury watch shop. And yet, my top five Panamera destinations are:<\/p>\n1: Dropping off and picking up my daughter from kindergarten
\n2: The convenience store
\n3: The co-op grocery store
\n4: The 100-yen shop (Seria or Daiso)
\n5: Uniqlo<\/p>\n
What am I even doing? And where exactly am I saving money? The Panamera can be a real gas guzzler around town, so even if I save a few hundred yen buying something at a 100-yen shop, the fuel costs can easily wipe out those savings. And if I took the train instead, I could skip the 100-yen shop and buy plenty of household goods at Muji\u2026<\/p>\n
But more than anything, I love my Panamera,<\/strong> so the truth is, whether I\u2019m heading to the convenience store around the corner or anywhere else,<\/strong> I want my trusty companion by my side.<\/strong><\/p>\nStill, sending the Panamera on such small errands feels a bit like dispatching the commander-in-chief to put down a village uprising. To make up for it, I try to take the Panamera to work whenever I can\u2014even when I\u2019m going as far as Yonago, or when the train would be more convenient\u2014so I can let it stretch its legs on the expressway.<\/p>\n
These days, I\u2019m starting to wonder what on earth I\u2019m trying to accomplish\u2026<\/p>\n
