Boxster materials.

I was editing a video over the weekend, and I was like, "I don't have enough video material for the Boxster.So I asked my husband, "Would you like to go to Ashiu with your Boxster and GT3 in the evening?" I asked my husband, "Would you like to go to Ashiu with your Boxster and GT3 in the evening? Then, he said, "Yes.

That's right. Since we're going all this way, let's go there at sunset to see the sunset.

So I checked the time of sunset and was ready to leave at that time. ...butSure enough, just before the event, the sky began to cloud over.My husband saw that.

What do we do? It's getting cloudy. Shall we go?

He asked me if I wanted to go, but it was emotionally difficult for me to make the choice not to go now, so I said, "I'm sorry."It's cloudy, but it's sunny over there. Let's go.He replied, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry," and the two cars departed.

Boxster's peace of mind

The 981 Boxster has a lot of torque, which makes it easy to drive, even for someone like me who is not very confident in driving.(You used to say it was hard to drive.)."I wonder if this hill would be tough if I were in 3rd gear...Even if you think, "I can't do this," you just need to push down the accelerator pedal a little harder, and the car will climb strongly and without any problems.

The auto hold function does not work on gently sloping hills, so the car may momentarily slide down when starting off, but the strength with which it endures this situation also gives the driver a sense of security.

I never really paid much attention to torque until I drove a manual transmission car, but now I'm finally starting to think, "I guess this is what everyone is talking about, torque or no torque.I began to realize that "I'm not a good person" (laughs).

Ashi Ari, Ame...

The road before the toll booth in Ashiari was full of cat's eyes, so I always drove the Boxster carefully.The roof is opened around the toll booth and the car is put into Sport Plus mode.In the case of the 981 Boxster GTS, the auto-blipping function is turned on by putting the car in Sport Plus mode.

Thanks to this autoblipping feature, the Boxster can "blip" every time it downshifts.boohoo (crying)He barked bravely at me. My second daughter, who was riding beside me, was also very excited. and she was more excited than ever.

However.

The clouds were getting thicker and thicker. I knew it....

And just a minute away from the lookout.At last, raindrops started falling on the windshield.I thought, "Let's just continue on to the observation deck," but decided to park the car on the shoulder of the road and close the roof, just to be safe.

And as soon as the roof was closed, the rain became much heavier. "If I had just gone to the observation deck, I would have been in big trouble.I was relieved to be able to say, "I'm so sorry," but I also felt sorry for my husband, who is usually so careful to keep the tops dry in the rain. I'm really sorry.

When we arrived at the lookout, my husband was on the walkie-talkie.

How many times has it rained and winded when we came to the observatory? The god of the mountain hates us so much, doesn't it?

I've been saying that, but no, it's true (-_-).

I didn't have an umbrella, so of course I couldn't go outside... However, when I looked at the sky to the south of the observatory through the car window, it was quite bright.If we wait a little longer, the rain might stop.and stand by.

However, against its will, the rain gradually increased in intensity as time passed. Here's what happened then.

This is bad. Let's go home (T-T) pic.twitter.com/MLctgWFuj9

Boxster driving in torrential rain

As expected, with this torrential rain, there was no point in waiting around all the time.Move to a photo spot on the ocean side.Let's see. The weather forecast called for cloudy skies today, so it was probably not raining at the base of the mountain." So we decided to leave the observatory.

And on the way home.

It was my first experience to drive a Boxster in heavy rain and on a mountain pass.I'm a little scared.I thought, "I'm not sure how I'm going to do this," but it was nothing at all. There was no slipping in the corners, no feeling of the tires floating, and the car was very stable.

However, I haven't been going that fast, so I guess it would be different if I drove on the highway in this condition, but the Pilot Sport 4S is still amazing.

I couldn't fly home because of the rain.Driving from Sports Plus mode back to Normal modeI tried to do so, but then I still felt shift shock every time I downshifted.

The auto-blipping feature just gave the illusion of better driving.and in reality, it still needs more practice.

After that, we went down to the foot of the mountain, but it was still raining. Given this situation, we decided to give up taking pictures along the seaside and headed straight home.

When I got home, my husband was aghast.

I really don't get it. I guess she hasn't changed after all... (laughs) When Mina and I go to Ashiu from now on, we'll have a good time.I need to check the rain cloud radar, not the weather forecast, before I go.I'm so glad. The weather forecast was cloudy until a few minutes ago, but now it's changing to rain.

but I really don't have anything to say back (-_-).

In fact, "I'd like to go see the first sunrise of the year in Ashiu around next year.I was thinking, "I'm not going to go to the event," but then I thought again that if I went, I would cause trouble for everyone because of the heavy rain or dense fog.

In the end, I was not able to take any video material that day.I just paid $410 and went out of my way to get my car wet.It was a "one of a kind" experience, but it is not every day you get to drive a Boxster in torrential rain, so I guess in that sense it was a valuable experience for me.

And yet...if I had been born a long time ago, I would have been a "praying for rainToday, I think that I could have been quite active as a
