Why Do Wives Oppose Buying Luxury or Sports Cars Even When Their Husbands Earn Well?

A Wife Opposing the Purchase of a New Lexus The other day, I wrote an article titled “To Wives Who Oppose Buying Sports or Luxury Cars: Let Your Husbands Buy Happily!”. I had come across a web article about a “47-year-old husband earning 12 million yen a year wanting to buy a new Lexus worth 8 million yen, but his wife opposes it,” and I shared my family’s perspective on it. *Image source: LEXUS RX...

A Porsche Owner Who’s a Chiropractor The other day, I was deeply moved by the customer service of TAKURO, a hair salon owner and a car friend of my husband, and introduced him in an article titled “The Work Ethic of Porsche Owners,” which received a great response. Since then, I’ve been thinking, “If I get the chance, I’d like to write about the work ethic of other Porsche owners as well.” Today, I want...

What Kind of Person Is My Porsche-Driving Husband? An Introduction from a Wife’s Perspective

My Mysterious Porsche-Owner Husband I mainly write the articles on this blog, but my husband, who usually handles the IT and system side of things, also occasionally writes posts. At the end of the articles he writes, his profile page is displayed, and if you click it, you can see his history of beloved cars. The number of visits to that profile page is surprisingly high every time. I wonder if so many people are...

When Will My Second Car Be Delivered? The Impact of the Semiconductor Shortage

Life with a Manual Transmission (MT) Car About two years ago, I purchased my very first car, a manual transmission (MT) vehicle. Before meeting my husband, I had absolutely no interest in cars—they barely even registered in my field of vision—so I never imagined the day would come when I’d buy my own car. And to think it would be an MT car… lol Life really is full of surprises. The reason I bought my...

Recent Customer Service Experiences The other day, I wrote an article about the discomfort I felt with a car dealer’s salesperson. I had visited the dealer to buy my own manual transmission car, but there were many moments when I felt the response was a bit disappointing. After returning home, I kept muttering things like, “They handle such wonderful cars, so I wish they would sell them with more passion…!” Then my husband said, “If...

[Important Points in Choosing a Car] What Do You Really Want from Your Car?

Porsche 911 or Lexus LC500? Recently, I received this kind of inquiry on my blog. Currently, I’m torn between purchasing a Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet (992 model) and a Lexus LC500 Convertible. I’d like advice from a 911 (992 model) owner. That was the question. In fact, I’ve received many inquiries like “I’m struggling to decide between XX and YY when buying a car.” Cars are expensive purchases, and even if you gather information...

When My Car-Loving Husband Goes on a Solo Long-Distance Touring Trip: What Does His Wife ...

My Husband’s Touring Trips When my husband gets a long break, he often sets off alone on a long-distance driving tour. Depending on the length of the holiday, it might be a 2-night, 3-day trip or even a week-long journey, with destinations ranging from Tohoku to Shikoku. His dream, he says, is to one day go on a nonstop touring trip for about a month (laughs). When you hear “touring,” you might picture a fun...

Fulfilling a Young Car Enthusiast’s Dream: Letting Him Ride Our Family Porsche

Our Younger Daughter Goes to Kindergarten in a Porsche Our younger daughter currently attends kindergarten, and every morning my husband drives her there. Sometimes she requests a specific car, so she ends up going to school in a different car almost every day.

The Real Reason Behind My Unease with Car Dealer Salespeople

Why I Felt Uneasy About Dealer Salespeople The other day, I wrote an article titled “Often, I can’t tell if dealer salespeople really want to sell or not,” and it received more feedback than I expected, including comments like “I’ve had similar experiences” and “Maybe it’s just how the dealer system works.” On social media, I also saw posts saying “I went to the dealer, but they completely ignored me.” It made me realize that...

Spring Drive through Nara and Wakayama in a Porsche Cayenne

Heading to Nara and Wakayama in the Cayenne The other day, my family and I visited Kumano Nachi Taisha Shrine. It was just before the state of emergency was declared, but since it had been planned for a long time, I’m glad we managed to go at the last minute. Our family doesn’t go for the traditional New Year’s shrine visit on January 1st. There’s no deep reason, but both my husband and I dislike...
