'How can I afford a Porsche?' I asked my husband a simple question.

How to buy a Porsche

I want a Porsche!

My husband drives his Porsche to Ashiyu Driveway several times a month, and one day he was asked this question by a young man at the observation deck.

I want a Porsche too, how can I buy one?

And.

This is certainly an interesting question, and I would like to know, as I am currently continuing with my goal of buying myself a Porsche (lol), so I asked my husbandHow can I afford a Porsche?"When I asked, I received this response.

I agree. I think the most important thing is the amount of enthusiasm to buy a Porsche.

"The amount of heat..." (-_-)

I remember that Konosuke Matsushita, the famous "god of management," was asked at a lecture by a participant, "How can I manage a dam?That's a strong commitment to dam management, isn't it?I once heard that he answered, "I'm sorry, I don't know, but I don't know.(I'm in awe that you would put my husband in the same ring as the great Konosuke Matsushita.)

But the young man's desire to buy a Porsche must be strong, since he went to the trouble of asking me how he could afford one. So I asked him something like this.

But even young people who ask like that are serious about buying a Porsche, aren't they? The passion to buy a Porsche is great, isn't it?"

Then my husband, who was

No, I don't think it's big. When people ask me, "How can I afford a Porsche?" When people ask me, "How can I buy a Porsche?" I say.If you want it, buy it now."I said. Everyone was driving a good car in their own way. But I didn't think he was really interested in buying one, saying, "No, I don't have the money for it," or "My wife doesn't like it....
If you really want a Porsche, your body will naturally move to solve it!What is it? He should change jobs, start a business, buy a cheap used Porsche, persuade his wife, or take some other concrete action. If they don't, it's because they don't really want it. Worry about your surroundings and common sense.If you don't move naturally, in my opinion, that's a sign that you don't have enough heat at all.

And. Well... if you ask me, that may be true (-_-)

I've been around for a long time.One day I will definitely buy a Porsche."I was always thinking about Porsches, with magazines with Porsche articles lined up on my bookshelf. I was just starting out in the workforce, and my salary was still small, butIt's similar in form to the 911."This is why I took the plunge and bought an Audi TT. Later, he also quit his job and started his own business.
When I went to Germany, I rented a Porsche and drove it, and when I got back home, I put a picture of the keys I took there as a standby on my phone.Feel as if you were a Porsche owner!I spent a lot of time in
I really wanted a Porsche, and I think I was working on something to get as close as possible.

I see.

I guess I might as well think about my life to date. When I decided at my last job, "I'm going to be the top sales person! I was desperate to be the top sales person. That's how I became the top. On the other hand, when it comes to dietingI wish I could lose weight - I want to lose weight."It's a weak desire, so you end up with chocolate and potato chips, and you'll never lose the weight (explosion).

Dreams don't come true easily.

When I said, "I see... I think I understand..." my husband said, "I see.

In the world, successful people who have achieved their dreams.If you don't give up, your dreams will come true."I know, right? But I amDreams don't come true that easily.I think about it. I think about it at all hours, I move, IIn a sense, you have to be crazy about it to make your dream come true. Moreover, the effort must be in the right direction.I don't think it's that easy to make dreams come true.

I think that is really true. I, too, believed in the words, "If you don't give up, your dream will come true," and "If you do it until you succeed, you will succeed," and I worked desperately at my current job for about 10 years, but in the end my dream did not come true. Well, I guess that means you can't make it happen if your will is weak enough to give up after 10 years.

I think that means that I want a Porsche in my head, but in my heart, I don't want a Porsche that much. I think I want a Porsche in my head, but in my heart, I don't want a Porsche that badly, so maybe it won't happen?"My husband, when I asked him if he

I guess so. It's more like unconsciousness.I can't afford a Porsche.I guess I'm thinking, "I'd like to buy a Porsche. When I think about it, I had a vivid image of buying a Porsche since I had just started working. I could clearly see myself touring along winding roads with a nice autumn breeze in a Porsche with a friend. It is said that people can realize what they imagine. I think that's why I was able to buy a Porsche.

And.

I asked him, "So now I can imagine a life where this blog is seen by people all over the world, and every year I travel with my wife to circuit races around the world, writing and posting my blog at local cafes and Apple stores.

No, I don't know about that (-_-)

I was easily cut off. My husband is honest, for better or worse.

Well, if you want to increase the enthusiasm of "buying a Porsche", I think you should change the environment. Interacting with Porsche owners, having them ride in a Porsche...it makes it more real, so you can visualize it more easily, and you can learn a lot from their way of thinking and their way of life.
Besides.It's important to remove psychological barriers by misleading yourself in a positive way, as if you already own a Porsche.I think so. In this way, you will become more motivated, and your behavior and the way you earn money will gradually change.

And. I see.

Finally, my husband concluded his response with these words.

Well, in Yoshida Shoin's terms.
"Gentlemen, go mad."
And that's all.(My husband likes Shoin Yoshida.)

If I were as crazy as Shoin Yoshida, I could buy a Porsche in no time. So I must become a "21 times fierce child" too (laughs).

    Dear Mr. and Mrs. Mina
    good morning
    I am sorry to have to contact you the other day even though your husband was not home.

    If you don't think about it all the time, move about it, and in a sense become crazy about it, your dream will not come true.
    Moreover, the effort must be in the right direction. I don't think it is that easy to make a dream come true.

    This seems to be something I've been repeating myself in a way.
    Well, maybe I was crazy in a different way... (sweat)

    Yoshida Shoin........the patriot of the last days of the Tokugawa Shogunate.......
    I, too, have been reading about people from this era.
    I think he and his wife read quite a bit.

    Okay!
    I'm just as eager to get on board the black ship as you are.
    Next time. Backslide.

      Thank you!

      Yoshida Shoin, the end of the Edo period, you and your wife love it!

      As a child, I saw a self-portrait of Yoshida Shoin and thought he was quite an old man.
      I was later surprised to learn that he had influenced the world and many great people at such a young age.

      I am not mad enough at all...!

      >Yes!
      >I'm also so ready to try to get on the black ship.
      >Next. Backslide.

      Oh, oh, Shoin Sensei: !!!! Stop it!!!!!!! LOL!
      No, keep going!
      Thank you for your continued support!

    As long as we are looking for reasons why we cannot do anything, we will not move forward.

    In a previous episode of Tonneruzu, Bananaman's Mr. Himura was asked to buy a Porsche. He was hesitant to buy a luxury car like a Porsche, but the encouragement of the comedians around him and the shock he felt when he started the engine of the 911 Carrera S made him change his mind. It's very interesting. Even now, when I watch this video on the Internet in my spare time, it brings back the feelings I had when I bought my first Boxster and gives me energy. Perhaps, in my case, it was this video that encouraged me to make the decision?

    However, once that psychological hurdle is removed, on the contrary, there is a negative aspect that the body moves too naturally and repeatedly changes or increases the number of vehicles. I sometimes feel terrible that I, as a hassle-prone person, am happily going through the procedures for seal registration certificates, garage receipts, and so on.

    • Mina.Mina.

      isiB.
      I once watched a show about Bananaman Himura-san buying a Porsche!

      At the time, I thought, "Tonneruzu is going to hell and back... comedy is so cruel...
      Later, when I think about it more carefully, I think I must have been the catalyst that pushed Mr. Himura to take it up a notch.
      When you think about it, it's a very deep and hot program... (laughs)

      >However, once that psychological hurdle is removed, the negative side is that on the contrary, my body moves too naturally and I repeatedly change or increase the number of vehicles. I sometimes feel terrible that I, as a person who is a pain in the ass, am so happy to go through the procedures for the seal registration certificate and the garage certificate, etc.
      Amazing... you are crazy (in a good way, of course!!!)
      I guess once you're in that world, the wheels just keep turning... wow! I wish I could taste it too (LOL)!!! I'll do my best!

  3. That's a lie!

    This is a lie!
    No one talks like that to a complete stranger.
    If there is, it's a developmental disability.
    What's with the heat, atta-ta-ta? Aren't you ashamed to say it?

  4. bamboo circle

    Nice to meet you.
    I am a young man who just started his second year in the workforce this month, but for some reason my loan was approved and I took delivery of a 981 Cayman MT yesterday.
    After reading through the blogs of foreign sports car owners, I came across this article and a blog that was probably her husband's, and was pushed into action on my own.
    I was not so interested in cars before I got my driver's license. I got my AT-only license, learned the fun of cars with my family's car at that time, an E46 BMW, and recently lifted the AT-only license in order to buy a Porsche.
    Minaさんも、AT限定解除からボクスター運転されていましたが、難しいですよね、、、限定解除だと少ししかマニュアル車運転できないし、、、。
    I was surprised at the weight of the clutch, so I asked the person in charge at the store to accompany me to practice, and he followed behind me all the way home. I will steadily work on improving my driving technique.
    I know this is off topic, but I just took the liberty of getting your back, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support.
    Thank you very much.
    I look forward to reading more of your blog.

    • Mina.Mina.

      Thank you for finding our blog and even finding my husband's blog (lol) and for your comment!
      And congratulations on the delivery of your 981 Cayman MT!

      That's great that you got it in your second year in the business!
      Congratulations indeed!

      >I was not so interested in cars before I got my driver's license. I got my AT-only license, learned the fun of cars with my family's car at that time, an E46 BMW, and recently lifted the AT-only license in order to buy a Porsche.
      Wow, you got your license removed and now you own a MT car! That's amazing!

      >Mina, you also drove a Boxster from the AT cancellation, but it is difficult to drive a manual car.
      The difference in weight and meet point between the clutch of the driving school car and the clutch of the Porsche was so great that I could no longer believe they were the same MT car.
      But, like Takemaru-san, you definitely have a shortcut to becoming a good MT driver by purchasing one yourself and practicing steadily.
      I would like to learn from your courage and energy.
      I'll do my best! Thank you for your continued support!

      Also, let me know how the Cayman rides and what you think of it!

    This is my first comment.
    I am waiting for delivery of my 964C2 (MT) and was 96 4 information and came across this site.
    I also wanted to drive a Porsche, but a new one was too expensive, so I bought a used, inexpensive Porsche 996 (AT), as Danna told me to do. 996 Power Up Edition (MT) and then switched to a 964 ( I could even buy a 964 (MT).
    I feel like my desire to "drive a more fun car" is creating a reality.
    Porsche is a magical car that makes you feel that way.

    I enjoy Mina's unpretentious writing style and her thoughts, and Danna's spot on!
    I'll keep referring back to you!

      Thank you so much... for finding my blog here from 964!

      And you are driving a 964 MT...!
      Awesome!!! My husband's been looking for one of these for a long time, but he's never been able to find a good one at the right time, so I'm very jealous!
      (Almost everything was ASK at that time)

      >I enjoy Mina's unpretentious style and thoughts and Danna's spot on!
      Thank you very much!
      I hope to continue to operate my blog in this taste, for your enjoyment and my own.

    Nice to meet you.

    I always read your blog.

    I wanted a Ferrari, but "now that I've saved up the money."
    So I compromised and bought an Alfa Romeo 4C at 26.

    But lately I've been thinking more and more that I still want a Ferrari.
    Encouraged by this blog, I am beginning to take some action.

    I sometimes go to Ashiari Driveway, so please do me a favor if you see me there.
    I would like to hear many stories.

      Nice to meet you. Thank you for visiting our blog.

      That's great!
      I heard that the Alfa Romeo 4C is a very spartan sports car.
      It's cool!
      And I am amazed that you are working to purchase a Ferrari...that is amazing.

      Yes, I hope to see you again at Ashiu Driveway.
      I would be happy to talk with you about various topics.
      Thank you for your continued support.

    Nice to meet you❗

    I bought a 991.1 last year, and when I casually went to PC to look at it, I wanted to buy it.
    I went to Tokyo to pick up the car without seeing it. I have never thought of buying a Porsche, but for some reason I wanted one.
    Every week, the couple goes for a drive.
    I've had it for a year and now my wife wants one, so I bought her a 992 yellow one with pccb and exhaust, perfect for her to brake hard....
    I don't get much iron dust because I use an emblem, but my wife is always saying
    I'm going to put the brakes on...
    You only live once.
    I want to live my life without regrets.

    I will comment again, and
    We look forward to your fun articles.

      You bought 991.1, and a year later your wife got a yellow 992, and with PCCB...!
      It's too awesome!
      I am sure his wife is very satisfied with it.

      >You only live once.
      I want to live my life without regrets.

      You are so right. I have no regrets.
      I thought again that I would like to be able to make a firm decision and act accordingly at the time.

      Thank you for your continued support!

  8. arhat (meritorious person, esp. an epithet of Buddha)

    MIna, nice to meet you.

    I always enjoy looking at your site.
    What led me to your blog was when I was looking for a car that my family of four could drive and enjoy driving, and I wondered about the Panamera. I was looking for a car that would be fun to drive for my family of four, and I was wondering what the Panamera would be like.

    At first, I thought it might be helpful to persuade my wife! But the contents were so varied and in-depth that I began to check the site from time to time.

    Currently, I have been driving a Honda s2000, a car I have wanted ever since it was presented at a motor show when I was a college student, and finally bought it after I started working, for about 13 years. I once considered replacing it, but I have become so attached to it that I half cry just looking at it being evaluated, so I plan to continue driving it while making a little work on it.

    My wife also has an SUV, but I feel a high center of gravity when driving on the highway? I have a feeling that the center of gravity is too high and the suspension is too loose when driving on the highway. It is perfect for relaxing in town driving.

    So that's where we were looking at the Panamera.

    When I was looking at this blog, I saw your husband talking about "calorific value," and I kept thinking that it was too expensive, and I was thinking that I was not doing enough in that area....

    One day, while I was living in such a monotonous life, one of my seniors asked me if I would like to try driving his Porsche, which he was selling. I was having such a monotonous day.
    Please take me for a ride! I asked him to let me drive the 911... In a word, it was numbing.

    From there it was another round of hesitation and consultation, but that senior was willing to give it to me for less than the market price!

    I was told, "You would pay that kind of money for a 10-year-old used car? I was told that it was a two-seater, but I was so shocked that it blew that out of my mind!
    Maybe the heat that had been building up exploded (exploded?) when the car was actually running. I think it's like the heat that had been built up exploded!

    Right now my senior is in the store getting it serviced and repaired, and I should have it by June or so. I know you'll be looking forward to it all the time now!

    I sometimes go to Kansai for errands, so I'd love to drive the Ashiari driveway too! I'm sorry I commented with all the tension we've been talking about!

      Thank you for visiting our blog and for your comments.
      Thank you so much!

      911, congratulations on your purchase!

      >I think the heat that had been building up may have exploded (exploded?) when I actually drove the car! I think it's like the heat that had been built up exploded!
      Porsche really electrifies you when you drive it...!
      Moreover, I imagine that the 911s of that time were NA engines and must have really felt great.

      June, you'll be taking delivery of the car next month... Lovely!
      I envy you...!
      I would be very happy to hear from you when I see you in Ashiu.
      Thank you for your continued support.

    Good evening. It is important to change the current situation now, not only to buy a Porsche, but also to get something done.
    I am a junior high school student now. I would like to drive a Boxster for my father in the future. I am sorry for commenting on an article that was written 2 years ago. I am sorry. I will keep referring to it! Thank you very much!

    • Mina.Mina.

      Mr. Shinyama.
      Thank you for your comment!

      >I am a junior high school student now. I would like to drive a Boxster for my father in the future.
      It's amazing...! In my middle school days, I really lived without memory and without thinking.
      If you think and act like that now, I am sure you will be a great person in a few years.

      Please keep up the good work!
