Last May, I bought my first Porsche, a 911 Carrera T. I am currently driving a Taikan 4S Cross Turismo, but when I started this blog 7 years ago, I had no idea that I would have such a view waiting for me.

Of course.I want a Porsche someday.I thought, "I'm going to buy it," and although I had blogged about my attempts to figure out what to do in order to buy it.I hope I can buy one someday...At the time, I never imagined that I could really realize it, to the extent of saying, "I'm going to do it.

However.About a year and a half ago, there was a time in my life when I was very close to purchasing a Porsche at one point in my life.Once I decided to do so, everything went very smoothly until I bought it. (Although I was prepared to jump off the clean water stage and break a bone, lol.)

So what the hell is going on?At once the purchase of a Porsche became a reality, and you were able to buy one.I would like to write today about

I drive a Porsche.

."I wonder what happened to make the purchase of a Porsche a reality all at once.I mean, I'm not sure I'd be able to say "I'm not aI seriously decided to buy it.There was never a "one moment" moment, but rather aI can imagine myself driving a Porsche I bought myself in a few years from now, without any sense of discomfort.Things went from there, and things went from there.

However, at the time, I didn't already have the money, I didn't have a sufficient down payment, and I wasn't confident that I could pay off the loan each month, but still, "IOh, I'm sure I'll be driving my own Porsche in a few years.It seemed very natural," he said.

Since I started this blog, I have been surrounded by many Porsche owners, many of whom, including my husband, own more than one Porsche.

Being in such an environment, I thought to myself, "Wow, that's great," but I also felt a stark difference in the way I felt from everyone around me, and conversely, my dream of purchasing a Porsche seemed to be getting further and further away from me.

."I am totally different from these people. It's as if I'm talking to someone on cloud nine.There was a time when I was in a kind of resignation mode, thinking that I could never be like this, because every time I talked to him, he showed me the differences and differences between us.

I often hear the phrase "If you want to get something, put yourself among those who have already got it and achieved it.I am reminded once again that it takes time to change one's sense, way of thinking, and words and deeds.

Now let's turn that situation around.I could feel like I was driving my own Porsche, which I take for granted.I think the reason for this is that over the years, I kept taking small steps that I could take at the time.

My first step was to buy a used BMW 320i with my own money. At the time, I could not drive any MT cars, even though I had my limited driver's license, so I was "not sure if I could drive any MT cars."I want to be able to drive somehow. The only way to do this is to buy myself a MT car and drive it every day.I thought, "I'm going to buy it," and I was so hungry that I bought it.

I had no idea that the first car I would buy would be a manual transmission car, as I had no interest in cars until I met my husband... (laughs)

Then, after the birth of her third child, she was told that she was going to have aI can drive a manual transmission car now, and I'm going to have a lot of stuff for a while, so let's sell the car.I decided to "go for it," and bought it in a simultaneous batch assessment, where I had a surprising experience.

A car purchased for 2.3 million yen could be bought for 1.7 million yen.The first is the "I" in "I".

I was surprised that the price was so high, even though I had expected the price to drop much, much lower when selling (a 320i MT car in good condition is rare and still in demand, I was told).

I drove it for a year and a few months, and it was like a 600,000 yen ride in real terms.

."If you buy a car with a good resale, you can drive the car you want to drive without taking out a big chunk of real money. I see... so guys.It's all about resale.It was an event that made me feel, very keenly, that "the world is a big place," and that "the world is a big place.

Later, when I had a baby and settled down, I bought a new Swift Sport MT car this time.

I did not yet have the budget to buy a Porsche, and the Swift Sport was the MT car that my family of five could just barely afford.

This time, a new car, with my own specifications.

I was still happy to buy a new car, and I was very attached to it, so I drove it every day, but then I started my own business, and when my business started to take off little by little and I had finished paying off my Swissport.If I were to buy a Porsche next, I'd probably buy a Porsche.I came to think vaguely.

We hadn't quite worked out the money yet."I am sure my next car will be a Porsche. In a few years I will be driving a Porsche. Maybe a 911, I wonder.The image of "the first time," came naturally to me.

Purchase of Porsche and mountain climbing.

Then, an acquaintance of the owner told me this.

He said, "If you have a feeling that you want a 911, you should tell your dealer now, before it's too late. （I hear there are still people standing in line to buy one, so even if you tell them when you want one, it may already be too late."

And.

I see. I think that's true, too.I want to order one as soon as the next late 911 comes out.I boldly told Mr. H, the dealer representative, that I was interested in the Carrera T. A few months later, I was told about the Carrera T, and I took the chance.

And as a result, I was able to realize my goal of "buying a Porsche for myself" faster than I had expected.

This feeling, if I may say so, seems similar to that of mountain climbing.

When I was still walking around the first station, I couldn't see the summit and had no idea where it was, how to get there, or when I would get there. But then I climbed up to the 3rd station, then the 5th station...and when I got to about the 7th station, I realized, "I'm going to reach the top.Ah, there is the summit!Once the summit is firmly in sight, the climb becomes all the more realistic and accelerated.

...I've never climbed a mountain, but I feel like it.

Even if you can't see the top, even if the path may be a long way off, do something concrete first, something you can do at that moment. Keep moving.
Then, gradually, the image of goal achievement will come into view.

Then, "I hope to buy one someday.From the "I can now naturally and effortlessly visualize the image I am getting.When "the time has come," we are all at once closer to realization.

I am sure it is the same for other goals, not just cars.

Right now I have a big goal in my own way for my work, and although I can't yet visualize achieving it, if I keep walking step by step, I am sure I will see the top and realize it.

Until then, I will continue to move forward firmly. (While enjoying my car life, of course!)
