Six months since I took delivery of my Porsche 911 Carrera T.

Carrera T's attendance is decreasing.
911 Carrera T six months after delivery.
This is my first Porsche, and I had a lot of trouble deciding on the specifications of the Carrera T.
The ride is great. Nimble, great handling, too much fun to operate the MT, no complaints about the driving, rather too great Carrera T.
But lately, there are more and more days when I don't drive the Carrera T.
The reason is still,This is because the difficulty of daily use is becoming more noticeable.
This is what my husband originally told me.
The Carrera T has a sport chassis and a low ride height, so you might be able to use it for everyday use, but I think you should be prepared for that. Are you sure about that?
And.
But at the time, I thought I wasThat's not a problem at all.I had been thinking, "I can't go anywhere without my Carrera T." In fact, until recently, I drove my Carrera T to and from my children's school, to and from elementary school, to the dentist, dermatologist, and physician, to the supermarket, drug stores, and convenience stores, and everywhere else I went.
I've got a lift system that does the front ac"It raises the ride height by 30mm, so it doesn't matter where you are.In fact, in the beginning, I was so careful that I didn't scrape at all.
However, recently (since our area is a hilly town), I have been driving to and from gas stations, to and from my children's friends' houses, etc.What! In a place like this!I began to see situations where I had to scrape the bottom of the barrel in situations where I said, "I'm sorry.
Well, this was to be expected, and more than that, the Carrera T is overwhelmingly fun to drive, so my husband told me, "I'm going to have a lot of fun with it.Why don't you ride the GLB once in a while?When people say, "I'm not a fan ofNope. I take my Carrera T everywhere I go!He stubbornly continued to drive the Carrera T.
However, in my daily life, I never go to work like my husband does (I work from home), and I only have two or three opportunities a month to drive on the highway to Osaka, and other than that, I always drive within a 3-kilometer radius, almost always within a 15-minute drive time each time.
From my husband, always,
If you don't ride for more than 20 minutes, you shouldn't use the Carrera T. It's not a good idea to repeatedly stop the engine before the oil temperature rises. It is not good to repeatedly stop the engine before the oil temperature rises. Instead of using the Carrera T every time you go anywhere, why don't you use the GLB for normal driving and use the Carrera T when you need to go anywhere?
I was told, "I'm sure you're right...," but gradually I began to feel more and more that it was true.
Carrera T with children
The three children are also extremely important.
Even though the Carrera T seats four, the back seat is quite small. Also, my 3 year old son wants to sit in the passenger seat,Inevitably, the oldest daughter, 10, and the second daughter, 7, would sit in the back seat each time.
My oldest daughter gets carsick easily and gets sick easily, so she is almost always groggy in the backseat, which is narrow and has a standing backrest, and she is always in a "groggy" state.I really don't want my mom's car anymore...I'm often told, "I'm not a good person.
That's right.
I know what it's like for a father to drive a sports car with his family buzzing around him and feeling small on his shoulders (laughs).
It's a two-door car, so it's a bit of a hassle to get in and out of the car with the front seat down every time, and the kids complain every time I drive the Carrera T around the neighborhood within a 3 km radius, with all sorts of risks like parking and scraping the bottom of the car...
I am beginning to wonder what is going on with this.
The Carrera T is blameless, it was completely on my side and I knew it from the beginning.
I was well aware that a Carrera T would be over-spec for someone who only drove around my neighborhood, and that it would be a small price to pay for a cat.
Still, "Buy your own PorscheI wanted to achieve my goal of "to be a Japanese citizen," so I took the plunge and bought the car. （I have no regrets at all.)
."Then you let it go.I have a lot of feelings for it, and when I drive long distance sometimes, I enjoy it so much that I am reminded of the fun and splendor of the Carrera T every time I drive it.
I'm torn...I think I'll ride it for a while, using it in different ways for different purposes.

I always enjoy looking at your site.
I felt very sympathetic to the fact that you not only praised it, but also wrote it based on your honesty and true feelings, even though you purchased it with such a longing for it.
I have a Cayman GTS and a Cayenne S coupe and both are great and fun, but there are moments when I get sick of the under scrubbing and getting in and out of the Cayman and sometimes the width and parking and the price of a full tank of gas in the Cayenne lol.
I was impressed by this blog, which writes about the good and the bad without any discovery!
I think you can love the Carrera T more and more by riding it occasionally instead of forcing yourself to ride all Carrera T's.
I look forward to seeing more in the future.
Mr. Caiman23.
Thank you!
I am glad you said that...!
It's still a test drive versus actually owning one,
It's totally different, isn't it?
If you are going to spend your car life with that car,
I thought a lot of things are coming up.
Our blog will continue to be a true, honest, life-size blog with no discernment,
We will carry through firmly! LOL!
Thank you for your continued support!
Hello Mina and Hiro.
A second car? There is one, isn't there?
But if the youngest is three years old, she will soon be in kindergarten, and the time when she can ride by herself will surely come in the near future!
Even though it's a four-seater, you won't physically be able to fit four people in it. Soon.
We have two children and they are both large in body size, so 911 became tough.
It would be nice to have a 911 only when carrying one child and not the other when carrying three!
It's true that we have to reconsider every time we have to pay taxes or insurance, but I have experienced that once you let go of a car, it's hard to move on to the next one. I have experienced that once you give up your car, it's hard to get back up again. I ask myself if I want to drive it that much, and the answer is that I do.

Thank you for everything!
That's right...after all, if it were a second car, it would be a great car,
Forcing it into daily use is also,
I wonder if they are used for different purposes.
>I asked myself if I wanted to go that far, and the answer was that I did.
Lovely!!!!
I would like to seek a car life that suits me for a while, while worrying and thinking about many things!
Oh, I understand.
But only those who have owned one can understand that...
(I don't think anyone who didn't get it as their car would understand)
So it's true that some people give it up early.
It's good.
Try different things, get lost, worry about it.
If you drive a car that fits you and your lifestyle at that time.
People say, "You can drive a Porsche every day," but it depends.
Sometimes the view is invisible if you can't get 911.
You can keep driving or switch cars.
Either way, it's your and your family's life.
Anything goes.
Honest Mina is very nice.
mami
Thank you!
Thank you so much for your message. Thank you very much for your message that touched my heart...
It was so obvious, but you had to buy it to know,
I was thinking,
MAMI's message saved my feelings.
We will continue to have a car life that suits us,
I hope we can have fun and find it through trial and error ^^.
Thank you for your continued support!
I was a little taken back by the idea of sacrificing your daughter for your own pleasure and amusement.
I know I'm groggy, but I'm still complaining, "I really don't want to drive my mom's car anymore..."
When you say, "Every time the children complain to me," you are just treating them as "complaints."
I really couldn't understand the nerve of someone who could neglect the feelings of others, much less his own daughter, to such an extent.
I too have a daughter.
I will not do anything that my daughter does not want to do. I can't do it.
Is your only criterion for judgment "your own pleasure"? I felt it was a little too selfish.
I have looked at your blog here from time to time.
I found this article after a long time and was very disappointed to find it.
Hello.
I ended up with the GT4 in the PC for over 8 months of repairs in 3 years and a total of over 4 months in a loaner Macan.
I thought it would be good for a little shopping, but after a few months I got tired of riding and the end result was
I was only driving the main M3.
I have to be careful when parking because it's wide and I can't open the door if a car stops on either side of me in a narrow parking lot in Tokyo.
I even got in through the rear hatch once (^^;)
If you start driving GLBs all the time, you may want to drive 911s all the time after that. ・・・・・
The GT4 is also going into the PC this weekend because the engine sounds like it is broken, but this time an AUDI Q5 is the replacement car (T_T).
In case you're wondering, the PADM also broke this September, but it's on backorder and we still don't know when it will arrive!
Since the latest Porsche doesn't have it, I'm wondering if they eventually gave up on it because they couldn't make something that wouldn't break.

Oh, and 8 months for PC repair...
>One time I even got in through the rear hatch (^^;)
The Macan is surprisingly wide. It's not so different from the Cayenne, is it?
>GT4 is also going into the PC this weekend because the engine sounds like it is broken, but this time an AUDI Q5 is the replacement car (T_T).
Oh another big size...!
GT4 you need to be hospitalized in many ways...
It is winter now, so it may be difficult to run in some areas,
Hopefully in the spring we can run as hard as we can again...!
Hello.
I always enjoy reading your blog.
What about this blog? I have a few thoughts and comments.
My impression after reading this blog is the same as fav's, which I have already commented on.
It seems that because of your own ego, you are making your child and the Carrera T that you bought because you liked it sad, and it seems that you yourself are not truly enjoying the Carrera T. I hope that you will be able to enjoy the Carrera T as much as I do.
I think it would be better to clearly separate the use of the GLB for daily use and the Carrera T for long distance use, exactly as your husband suggested.
Since Mina's wish came true and she bought the Carrera T, I think the Carrera T will be happier if her children like it as well.
Sorry for sounding preachy. I feel kind of sorry for Carrera T...
By the way, our family owns an imported compact sedan as our main car, a 718 Cayman for me, and a mini car for short trips. My only complaint is that I have two children, so I can't drive the Cayman with both of them at the same time, but they enjoy the little bit of extra time they get to go out alone with their father in turn (since they are still in the early grades of elementary school).
We hope that Carrera T will be loved by your family.
Mina.
Hello.
I hadn't commented recently because it has become a totally popular blog and many people comment on it,
I decided to write this after a long time because I was dismayed by the stilted comments about pleasure, waywardness, selfishness, ego, and all the other things I wanted to say.
I totally agree with Mami. There are certainly things that you can't see or understand unless you buy a 911 yourself.
In my case, when I bought the 992, it took a lot of courage because it was a 20 million yen car and I thought that if I didn't like it, I could sell it in six months. Now I am looking forward to the release of the later model of the 992, and in Mina's case, I think it is wonderful that she is raising three children and not only devoting her life to raising them, but also achieving self-actualization through her work and ownership of the Carrera T. I think it is a great thing. Children are more or less influenced by their parents' way of life. In the future, such experiences will be good memories for your children. One day you will have to let go of your car. Until then, please enjoy your own car life by driving it even while raising your child.
foolhardy person
Thank you!
I am always grateful for your warm comments!
Thank you so much!
Really, you have to actually buy it, own it, and ride it every day,
There was a lot that I could not see.
And admiration and whether you can ride all the time in your daily life are two different things,
I had heard about it, but I knew I had to buy it myself.
While the children say they are not interested in cars,
When I see a car passing me, I say, "Oh, there it is! Fatty!" or "Swisspo was great, wasn't it?
Somewhat unexpectedly, some of the children,
I sometimes feel that car life is becoming more prevalent.
A life that will surely continue to challenge us,
I think she is a bit different and different from the mothers of my children's friends,
I will continue to live my life to the fullest!
Thank you for everything!
I always look forward to it.
This is a valuable blog, test drives and impressions of cars that are not readily available at dealerships.
Since you have recently been driving a high end sports car, perhaps you have an unconscious sense of jealousy.
How far can you go with Carrera for everyday use? How far can you go? I think you are being very honest in your impressions.
Some people don't like that, and that's just to stay away? Those who want to see honest feedback will continue as before, so don't worry and don't stop the series!

Thank you for everything.
I knew this before I bought it, but I still wanted to hold it in my hands,
It was like I bought it and found out again (laughs).
It is only after you have settled down to raise your children that 911 fits into your lifestyle,
I am wondering if it will be a little longer.
Thank you for your warm words!
I will continue to update this blog at my own pace.
I like to read Mina's writings because she is always positive and hardworking.
Mina writes such a depressing article.
It is a sweeping condemnation.
He only says what he wants to say, and I think this is more insensitive.
I was looking around the net to buy a Carrera and found this blog.
I got there and enjoyed reading it.
What a sad comment and it made me feel sad.
I look forward to more articles from Mina, who is always positive and hardworking.
Cayenne957.
Thank you for everything!
Thank you very much for all your care and attention!
I am truly fortunate to have the support of those around me.
I hope to continue to write positive, sometimes aggressive (laugh) articles at my own pace,
The stance of the blog will remain the same and will continue!
Thank you ^^
