Driving a Porsche Boxster - open drive in the fall leaves!

My Family's Car Life

Boxster driving practice

I'm going to take the Porsche Truck Experience (PTE) in a Boxster."I only get to ride the Boxster about once every two months.Just when I was thinking, "I'm a little anxious from

Thankfully, we were able to take care of the children on a weekday evening and were able to go for a couple of hours to practice driving the Boxster.

."Yes!I thought, "I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do," but then I thought about it and realized that whenever I've driven a Boxster in the past, I've always been in a "boxer.Is my husband riding in the passenger seat?"Can you follow behind me in another car?It was the first time I went out for a drive on my own since it was "the first time I had ever been on my own.

So, just to be sure, I told my husband, "I'll be able to take care of the kids, so I'll go practice driving the Boxster for a bit.I emailed him, and he immediately

Yeah! Let's go far away from here!

He replied...but since I couldn't travel that far in two hours, I decided to head for Mita, which is close to my home.

It was a beautiful day, and the autumn leaves were just starting to turn, so we decided to drive with the roof open. I started the engine and started the car, a little nervous.

Hey, that's a lot more normal driving than I thought it would be.

The clutch used to be deadly heavy, but it feels not that different from the 320i and can be driven normally. This one seems to be fine on its own.

."I'm pretty sure the road in Sanda where I went running with my husband was this way...I was running from memory, but I took three wrong turns along the way, but I was able to back up without any discomfort and was able to run without feeling rushed.

You can drive pretty well.

For those of you who have been reading this blog for some time, you know thatI'm quite uncomfortable with my Porsche MT car.I am sure you are well aware of this, but I found once again that I was too conscious of it more than I should have been. If I drive like I normally do, with a normal mind, I can drive better than I thought I could.

Porsche is a great car itself, so you should feel rather safe driving it.The first is the "I" in "I". Nevertheless, theI've grown up a lot compared to what I used to be.I think to myself that it's a thing of beauty (laughs).

Practice course taking.

There were some nice mountain passes on the road to Sanda, and fortunately there were few cars on the way, so I was able to drive at my own pace.Remembering my husband's advice the other day.I was able to run.

Out-in-out... enter from the outside, aim for the inside... exit to the outside...

I just keep going around the curves, mumbling to myself, "I'm not going to make it. "I'm going to go around a curve.Now that's a lot of puffing up because you weren't paying attention."Now, I didn't see two ahead of you, so I didn't read the line.I reflect on every curve and so on...

Are you serious?

Nevertheless.It is really nice to drive in the open.As you ride along, listening to the sound of the engine and feeling the autumn leaves close at hand, you can sometimes smell the fragrant smell of something baking in the fields.

For a while, I stop practicing course taking and just take a leisurely ride to feel the nature and the daily activities of the people in this area.

."I like it...but if this was the Romantic Road in Germany, it would be even better...w"

In the late November evening, the temperature around here is a chilly 10 degrees Celsius. So I put on a down coat from UNIQLO and turned on the seat heater. It was very comfortable.

After all, heated seats are a must for convertible cars.

After driving for a while, I looked at my watch and saw that an hour had already passed, so I decided to turn around on the road ahead. On the way back, we drove on, still practicing our course-taking skills, and we made a couple of "I'm going to go back.Oh! Now that feels so good!I was happy to see a scene called

However, perhaps due to the time of day, I was often blocked by cars traveling at 30 km/h, and could not drive as fast as I wanted to.But still, the Boxster is fun to drive.I could drive without stress and without getting bored, even if I just practiced downshifting and listening to the backfire by letting off the gas pedal for a bit.

Finally, the day's drive ended with a fill-up at a gas station near my home.

Boxster, really great car.

At this rate, I will be able to participate in the Porsche Truck Experience (PTE) with a sense of normalcy. Of course, I will be able to participate in theYou will be nervous about the slalom, full throttle challenge, and other programs that you have never experienced in your normal driving.But I hope you can enjoy the course and not be more rigid than necessary.

    I always enjoy reading your blog.
    (I wish I had a wife like this...)
    I think the hardest part of driving a manual transmission is steering with one hand rather than the shift-accelerator-clutch work.
    There was a moment in the Boxster video where both hands were momentarily separated while shifting; a left corner with a grip at 9:15 is hard to cut through with one hand.
    When the husband grips the steering wheel, his thumb seems to be relaxed, while the wife seems to have a squeaky grip with her thumb and index finger.

    Someday I would like to get a Porsche and drive around Ashiu too.

      Mr. Side Machine.
      Thank you for visiting my blog!

      You are right...!
      Just yesterday I attended the Porsche Track Experience.
      After receiving a lecture on how to grip the steering wheel, I learned that I had been holding the steering wheel too tightly, and once I relaxed my grip, it became instantly easier to operate the steering wheel.

      Driving a car is a deep...
      I would be happy to learn more from you. Thank you for your continued support.
