○○ First ride in a Boxster GTS in months.

One Sunday recently, I was able to have my mother-in-law watch the children, so we went to Ashiu Driveway in the morning, but that afternoonAbout an hour or so, we decided to take the Boxster to Ashiu Driveway again.It became.

I thought to myself, "By the way, it's been a long time since I drove a Boxster," and I looked back at my blog to see that it had been six months.

Seriously...!

At first I decided to let my husband drive, but after a long time in the BoxsterVery smooth ride.I was surprised at how smooth the car felt. I guess I felt that way because I drove the GT3 in the morning, but it felt so smooth that I could hardly believe it was a sports car. Also, theCompared to GT3, it is very quiet while driving on public roadsIt is.

On the contrary.After driving the Panamera, the Boxster feels very stiff and loud.And just before(or usually)I wonder if the car you drive makes a big difference in how you appreciate the car you drive afterwards.(I wonder if this is what makes test drive reviews so difficult)I felt again.

Then, just past the toll booth on the Ashiu Driveway, I had to switch driving with my husband.

Finally, the moment has arrived.

In fact, that morning, theI was allowed to drive the GT3 for a bit and it sunk in beautifully!The car is not stalling continuously, as one would expect. The car does not stall continuously, but it is possible to start and shift gears, but it is not possible to shift gears.I was completely consumed by the awesomeness of GT3.I could only drive slowly as if I were driving a passenger car (-_-)

Besides, I haven't driven a Boxster in 6 months, I wonder if I can do it... I wonder if I can do it..."No, but I drive a BMW 320i manual every day, so surely it must be ok!I told myself, "I'm not going to be a problem," and climbed into the driver's seat.

The clutch is as heavy as ever. Adjusting the seat and steering wheel position andOpen the roof and open the Boxster.I put the shift lever in cockily and practiced a little, but somehow I felt like I could drive this time, and then I started the car...

...Oh! We made it off without a hitch!（I don't think you should be happy every time you can start the car.)

At the time of departure, until previously'Where does the clutch connect?' 'The feeling of a half clutch.'I could not grasp the "what" at all, but this time, I could understand it right away. I guess this is the result of daily practice.

Then I tried going up a gear, second and third, but this time, unlike beforeDon't think too much in your head, but drive by feel.The "new" was the "old".

...I think I can drive this one right!

Sports Plus mode and auto-blipping ON.and drive up the Ashiu Driveway mountain pass. Every time I downshifted before a corner, I would hear the "BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!The roar of the Boxster, "I'm not a boxer," echoes through the air.

Oh man, it feels too good!

Usually, we always take a break at the Higashi Rokko Observation Deck once we go up the mountain pass in Ashiari, but this time we decided to pass by and drive the Boxster further. Just as we entered a tunnel with a long straight line ahead of us.Shifting up to 4th and 5th gear while listening to the sound of the engine revving.I did.

In the tunnel.The sound of the Boxster GTS engine echoes through the air.Being open, you can feel the Boxster with your whole body more than at any other time.

Oh!!! Holy shit, that's the best!

I was so moved and excited.

What the hell! The Boxster is such a great car! Tell me now!

My husband exclaimed, "I'm not going to let

No, no, no, I've been saying for 4 years now that it's a very nice car all along!And I'm getting much better at driving. I feel like the Boxster is opening up to me a lot more.

And.

Yes, that's right. Although I haven't had them fully open up to me yet, "Well, I think we're finally at the starting line.I felt like I had a little bit of recognition from Boxter," he said.

Still, it feels so good to drive a Boxster in the open....

She is the master of my husband's mind.WATA.but even after going on long touring trips across the country and driving thousands of kilometers at a time, he still says, "I'm not sure I can do it.It feels too good, I haven't run enough yet.I never understood the idea of "I don't know what to do" before.

All I could think was, "That's crazy. But for the first time, I thought I understood that feeling.

It makes you want to run everywhere and anywhere.

As I was driving along, feeling the wind, the greenery, and the sound of the Boxster's engine with my whole body, I was thinking about this.I'm so moved, I'm about to burst into tears.I was struck with a strange feeling of

Oh no, I'm going to cry, I'm going to cry...!

if it were the case that

You're right! It makes you want to cry! The Boxster is truly the best car ever!

My husband was also very excited.

I mean, from the outside, it's just a conversation between a couple of perverts... (-_-)

But really, that's how impressed I was. By the way, here's a video of me driving at the time(I'm not very good at it. I'm not very good at it.)

This afternoon, I drove the Boxster GTS in the Ashiu Driveway. Finally, I am able to drive MT so far. While driving the Boxster in the open, I was having so much fun that I was really moved to tears, and I have a funny voice with excitement.# Ashiari Driveway # Boxster #MT # Boxster GTS #MT Women pic.twitter.com/Lfh6jiEnMP

Heading home in the Boxster.

After about two round trips, we decided to stop by the East Rokko Observation Deck and return home, but to our surprise, we found a BMW owner and Twitter follower we had met earlier that morning.

We both think the same way.

After laughing and chatting a bit, I thanked him for the encounter and headed home.(I got nervous as soon as I thought someone was watching me and stalled when I started the car.)

It has been almost four years since the Boxster came to our house after I got rid of my AT license so that I could drive a manual car.During that time, I had my parents watch my children and went to practice many times, but I could not drive at all and thought, "I can't do it anymore. There was a long period of time when I thought, "I can't do it anymore; the day when I can drive a Boxster will never come.

Geninally, the title of the last article I wrote about the Boxster was "Will there ever come a day when I can drive a Boxster?The question is in the form of a "question" (laughs).

Will the day come when I can drive a Boxster GTS (MT)? -Vol.5

But then I said to myself, "This is not good enough! I bought myself a BMW 320i (manual) and started practicing every day for about two months. Finally, I can drive a Boxster GTS!(I haven't gotten over it yet.)The company has now become a

Honestly, I'm glad.

No matter how old you are.You get to do things you couldn't do before, and you get a sense of personal growth."I am very happy to be able to do this. I never thought that I would be challenging myself to do something new every year after turning 35, but I think that age has nothing to do with challenges, so I hope I can continue to challenge myself in many different ways in the future.

By the way, we are planning to make our Youtube debut soon, so we hope you can look forward to it as well.
