Is a Car a Useless Burden or a Tool to Enrich Life?

To Everyone Who Leaves Comments Lately, I’ve been receiving more comments and messages. Thank you so much. When I first started writing, the number of visitors was really low, and I thought, “No one’s probably reading this Panamera-biased blog anyway… (-_-).” But now, I can imagine the readers ahead of writing each article, and it makes writing worthwhile… I truly feel grateful. Those who comment or message on the blog generally seem to love cars...

The Curious Camaraderie Among Panamera Owners

Riding in a Panamera Among Porsches, it feels like Panamera drivers are quite rare. What you often see are Cayennes, Macans, 911s, Caymans, and Boxsters—basically everything except Panameras, haha. So whenever I spot a Panamera, I can’t help but feel a strange sense of camaraderie. I end up staring intently, and often realize the other driver is staring back… Our eyes meet as we pass, and sometimes I find myself watching them in the rearview...

Which Porsche to Choose: 911, Panamera, or Boxster?

If I Were the Female Version of Kazuo Shimizu The other day, my husband showed my blog to his car-loving younger brother, and apparently he said, “This is just like Kazuo Shimizu, lol.” And honestly, he’s right… It’s obvious from this blog that I’m a Porsche enthusiast. So, even though I’m not as knowledgeable about cars as my car-obsessed husband, but more interested than the average woman, I suddenly wondered: “If I had to pick...

One Day, My Brother-in-Law Might Buy a Panamera Sport Turismo

Car-Loving Brothers Not only my husband but also his younger brother loves cars. It feels quite rare for siblings to both be car enthusiasts. That said, there seem to be different types of car lovers: my husband is more of a car geek, while his brother leans toward the fashion side—he seems to prefer Italian cars like Lamborghini and Maserati, or powerful vehicles in general. Is He Going to Buy a Panamera Turismo!? The other...

Why Porsche Understands Its Strengths and Continues to Evolve

A Troubled Working Adult’s Soliloquy The title of this blog is “Welcome Home, PORSCHE,” but recently the posts have completely turned into the soliloquies of a Porsche-loving working adult wrestling with worries. Today, here’s another little story about my concerns. It’s hard to recognize your own strengths by yourself. That’s because they are often expressed unconsciously. When something comes naturally or results come without much effort, that’s often where your true strengths lie. Since you...

The True Greatness of the Porsche Panamera Lies in Its “Harmony of Contradictions”

The Panamera Is Amazing The Panamera is an incredible car. It has power, acceleration, and is a joy to drive. But I believe the true greatness of the Porsche Panamera lies in its “ability to harmonize contradictions.” Luxury yet sporty. Massive yet nimble. Comfortable on the highway, thrilling on mountain roads. Offers extraordinary experiences yet fits everyday use. Balancing opposing or contradictory qualities is no easy feat. I wonder how many trials and errors the...

What Porsche-ism Teaches Us About What’s Important in Life

Embrace ambition and turn ideals into reality. On the new Porsche Panamera website, there was a phrase like this. (For some reason, the original source site has since disappeared) “Embrace ambition and turn ideals into reality.Not just blindly following the path you’ve taken, but constantly challenging yourself to transform your approach.In ways different from others. The most important thing in everything is courage.Break away from all common sense. Face it with unwavering will.Create a future...

5 Tips for Enjoying an Overnight Drive Trip with Kids

Driving to Awaji Island in the Panamera On January 5th, on a whim, we decided to take a family overnight drive trip to Awaji Island the next day, the 6th. Since it was so last minute, most accommodations were fully booked, but we managed to find a hotel that accepts families with kids. Before departure, we filled up the tank with premium gas at a gas station, (Even though I’ve only had it for 3...

Is It True That “Children of Porsche Enthusiasts Hate Porsches”?

Is This Really True? I came across an article titled “Children of Porsche Enthusiasts Hate Porsches.” Porseki Newspaper: Educating Children to Become Porsche Enthusiasts, Part 1: To be frank, Porsche is not a comfortable car to ride in. The cabin is cramped, and the car bounces roughly over bad road surfaces. The engine noise is loud, and older Porsches don’t have effective air conditioning. (omitted) Children forced to accompany their parents have a tough time....
