“You Can’t Buy a Porsche While Saying ‘Live Within Your Means’”

A Life That Fits Your True Self The other day, a former senior colleague posted that their company president sent them this message for their birthday: “People must grow in a way that matches their age and position.” That’s certainly true. Also, someone once said, “If my daughter said she wanted to become an idol, I would absolutely oppose it. I’d tell her to face reality and live a life that fits her true self.”...

Staying at Amakusa’s “Sky Ship” Hotel and Touring the Aso Milk Road

Heading to the “Sky Ship” Hotel in Amakusa This time, we went to Amakusa in Kyushu because I got a stay voucher for the “Sky Ship” hotel there through hometown tax donations. Since the voucher had to be used by the end of the year, we adjusted family work schedules and kindergarten plans to make this trip happen at this time. First, we took the ferry from Osaka Nanko to Shinmoji Port. From there, we...

Ferry from Nanko to Shin-Moji Port – 45,850 Yen One Way with the Panamera

Family Touring Trip to Kyushu Since yesterday, we’ve been heading to Kyushu by ferry. Of course, with the Panamera Turbo in tow. We decided to take the prestigious Taiyo Ferry departing Osaka Nanko at 19:50 and arriving at Shin-Moji Port at 8:30. Because the Panamera’s body length exceeds 5 meters, it falls under the category for passenger cars under 6 meters. With the deluxe (Western-style room) for two adults (though we have two kids, children...

Taking a Step Back from Social Media to Enrich Your Life

Days Without Posting on Social Media Lately, I haven’t posted anything on Facebook at all. I used to update almost every day, but recently I haven’t had anything to share. Of course, many things happen daily, I feel a lot, and I have new challenges planned for next year—I do have announcements I want to make—but somehow, I’ve come to think, “Maybe I don’t really need to post,” and the days just pass by. Before...

Driving the Porsche Panamera Turbo – Hyogo’s Haga Town Has Beautiful Roads, Few Cars, and...

Heading to Haga in Hyogo Prefecture Yesterday, we decided, “The autumn leaves must be beautiful around this time, so let’s go to Haga!” and took a family drive to Haga in Hyogo Prefecture. From home, we got on the Chugoku Expressway, exited at Yamazaki IC, and headed straight north on Route 29 to reach our destination. There’s no driveway or anything like that, and it’s not a major spot, but this area has few people...

Someday, a Porsche Garage — When a Hobby Reaches This Level, It’s Truly Admirable

Conversation with a Railway Enthusiast Yesterday, I met someone I hadn’t seen in a while and told them, “Actually, I love the Porsche Panamera,and I write a blog about the Panamera.” They replied, “Actually, I’m a railway enthusiast… maybe I should start a blog about trains too.” I’m not yet knowledgeable enough to call myself an expert on the Panamera—I just really like it—but I want to learn more and more about the Panamera and...

Watching the 2017 WEC Fuji 6 Hours Endurance Race – Behind the Scenes at the Pits and VIP...

The Panamera Is Big It’s been a week since our Panamera Turbo was delivered. Our Panamera’s body color is Night Blue Metallic, a darker shade that makes it look a bit tough. It’s also quite large and eye-catching, so the manager at the gas station my husband often visits kept saying, “Wow, what a huge car! Is that a Ferrari? Seriously, that’s a massive car!” about ten times (laughs). Anyway, today (this has nothing to...

WEC Fuji 6 Hours Endurance Race – Watching from the Porsche VIP Lounge!

My First WEC Experience! Today was the WEC race day. Unfortunately, it was pouring rain from the morning, and the track was completely wet. This time, I got a pass to enter the Porsche VIP lounge, so I headed to the designated entrance first. When I arrived at the West Gate of Fuji Speedway, I was directed to a dedicated parking lot and parked there. Because of the heavy rain today, I was specially chauffeured...

Heading to Hakone Turnpike in the New Porsche Panamera Turbo

Porsche’s Final WEC Today, I came to Fuji Speedway to watch the WEC. To be precise, today is the qualifying round, so I arrived early to watch tomorrow’s final race. WEC stands for FIA World Endurance Championship,one of the world championships for endurance racing. Since this is Porsche’s last participation in this race, I had planned for a while that “I must go see it.” So, this morning I woke up at 5 a.m., hurriedly...

Delivery Day Complete! A Step-by-Step Photo Journey of Taking Delivery of the New Porsche...

The Long-Awaited Delivery Day The new Panamera Turbo was safely delivered today. It’s been 7 months and 7 days since ordering on March 5th. It felt both like a long wait and it flew by… Both my spouse and I were restless from the morning; my husband took the afternoon off work just for this day and came home around noon. Then, the whole family headed to the Porsche dealer. Upon arrival, a receptionist guided...
