Our Panamera is due to arrive on Thursday, October 12. How do you count down to a day like that? Is it three days away if you count today, or two days away because the day after tomorrow is the big day?<\/p>\n
\u2026Well, never mind.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, my husband and H, a friend who\u2019s been kind to both of us, headed out to the Royu Driveway. H\u2019s pride and joy is a Lamborghini Hurac\u00e1n LP 610-4. Come to think of it, when H first bought the Hurac\u00e1n, he brought it over to our place, and we took both cars to the Royu Driveway. I got to ride in the passenger seat for a little while then, too.<\/p>\n
The Lamborghini\u2019s engine was incredibly loud, and people kept turning to look at us as we drove by. I was so embarrassed\u2014and people were taking pictures left and right. I\u2019d never been photographed that much before, so I thought, \u201cIf I\u2019d known, I would\u2019ve made sure my makeup was perfect\u2026\u201d<\/strong> (They were only taking pictures of the car; I had nothing to do with it.)<\/span><\/p>\n I climbed into the passenger seat, and we set off with the windows all the way down. Eager to make the most of the chance, I peppered H with questions. But with the windows open, we had to shout to hear each other.<\/p>\n Me: \u201cThe car feels really light. Do you know how much it weighs? Less than 1.5 tonnes?\u201d \u2026<\/p>\n \u2026And that was the end of our conversation.<\/p>\n Maybe H isn\u2019t all that interested in cars themselves? He told me he bought the Hurac\u00e1n because \u201cit was a car I\u2019d dreamed of owning since I was a kid. I worked hard and always knew I wanted to make that dream come true one day.\u201d<\/strong> From H\u2019s point of view, I must have been a nuisance, asking question after question while he was enjoying the drive.<\/p>\n Sorry about that\u2026<\/p>\n Anyway, just three days (or two!) to go until our Panamera Turbo arrives!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Counting Down to Panamera Turbo Delivery Day\u2026 Our Panamera is due to arrive on Thursday, October 12.

\nH: \u201cYou\u2019re the first person who\u2019s asked me about the weight\u2026 I wonder how much it is\u2026 Sorry, I don\u2019t know!\u201d
\nMe: \u201cIt feels so different from a Porsche. Oh, you used to own a Porsche a while back, right? Is the difference really that noticeable?\u201d
\nH: \u201cHmm, sorry\u2026 That was quite a while ago, so I don\u2019t really remember!\u201d
\nMe: \u201cIt feels light, but it still has a solid connection to the road. Though that road feel is different from a Porsche, too.\u201d
\nH: \u201cWhat!? I can\u2019t hear you! What did you say!?\u201d<\/p>\n
