Ashi Ari triggered a change of heart.

The other day.."Sunday Ashiari Driveway Morning GatheringParticipation in theA major change in my state of mind occurred from "I had no interest in cars until a few years ago.The "I" is..."Nineteen years ago, I went to a driving school and without hesitation chose the AT-only license.I never thought that the day would come when I would feel this way... I am most surprised.

I am deeply impressed by the fact that theYou never know what life has in store for you.I think."

I don't know what the heck you're talking about, so I'll just conclude without being too pompous.

I decided to buy myself a manual transmission."

The first is the "I" in "I".

...eh...

Eeeeeeee(p.s.)！！！！？？？？

."Oh come on, Mina, you must have hit your head!I am sure that I will be told that I am a "good person," but I am really thinking that way right now, without any pretense of lying.

If you can drive a manual transmission...

I mentioned it briefly in my recent Ashi Ari article.But this time, the owner has kindly provided us with the "Do you drive a 718 Boxster GTS (MT)?I was told that I would be able to drive, but my husband, who drove ahead of me, stopped me.

"Mina, you can't do this. You'll break the clutch.

And.

At that time, "It's the owner's precious Porsche and I'm not confident in driving a manual transmission, so that's a given.I was convinced that "I'm not going to be able to do this," but as five minutes, ten minutes... passed.I was getting more and more frustrated.Meanwhile, I was watching a participant in a MT Porsche dashing home in his MT Porsche, and my frustration did not subside, but rather grew, and grew, and grew.

If I could drive a manual transmission vehicle with no problems.I was able to take this opportunity to drive the 718 Boxster GTS.A 718 Boxster GTS is a rare model that you would never be able to test drive even if you asked to be allowed to test drive it at a dealer.

A long time ago, I wrote "If you speak English, you can talk to a billion people.There was a catchphrase from an English conversation school that said, "I'm a good driver, but I don't know how to drive a car.

If you can drive a manual transmission, you can drive any car in the world.(Except for large vehicles like trucks.)

I am sure the world will expand. And yet, I am notWhat a lost opportunity!...or maybe it's just that I've been ignited by my competitive spirit...

Woman driving a Porsche MT car

Also, I've been thinking this way lately.

I want to be a cool woman who can drive a Porsche with a dashing MT."

And.

You look around the world and you see...Few women can drive MT cars.In such a situation, if I could drive a Porsche MT car in Ashiyu Driveway, or drive through the city with a MT car, I would be very happy.(People around me don't even know it's a manual transmission car.)I thought it was really cool.

I think that's how I feel about theThey want to do things differently.I think it's because of my navel-gazing nature.

On an elementary school excursion to Itsukushima Shrine in Miyajima, Hiroshima Prefecture, everyone brought a souvenir of the famouswooden spoonI saw that they were buying "pasta scoopers" and I dared to buy "pasta scoopers" because so many of them were buying only "rice scoopers".(This kind of thing)

When I got home, I gave my mother a gift.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.wooden spoonAnd, what's more, it's not just a "no"! And...We rarely eat spaghetti!

I remember being told, "You're a bit of an idiot, aren't you? I was a weirdo myself (-_-).

I digress... I mean, I'm not saying that I'm a "They want to do things differently.Because of her "I'm a 'manual transmission' personality, I've been able to make it in a world where not many women can drive a manual transmission vehicle.On the contrary, I want to be a woman who can drive a MT car.I would think.

My Porsche MT Cars

."If you want to be able to drive a MT car so badly, why don't you just practice MT driving more without saying a word!I know what you might say...my Boxster GTS is a two-seater.

In other words, if I were to go to driving practice with my husband riding beside me.(Still afraid to go alone)I have my mother-in-law watch the children, as she did the other day when we went to Ashiu Driveway.Arrangements for someone to babysitThe "must" must be done.

Given this, it is difficult to practice MT driving on a daily basis unless the vehicle is a four-seater or larger MT vehicle that can also accommodate children.

In addition.If by any chance the Boxster, my husband's cherished 1st Porsche, the fulfillment of a childhood dream, is scratched, bumped, or has a funny habit with the clutch......I still can't practice driving casually.

While I was thinking about this, time passed without me practicing driving a MT car.(That's a perfect excuse.)

My husband is a

Next coming GT3 Touring(MT)Why don't you just put a beginner's mark on the "W. No one will ever come near you.

I'm not sure if that's a good idea or not, and GT3 is a two-seater....You'll definitely be more careful and respectful than the Boxster.It is.

As I was thinking about this and chewing over my frustration at Ashiu Driveway, this idea popped into my head.

sooner.Buy yourself a Porsche MT car.Let's put it away!

And. ."Let's buy it!It's easy to say, "I don't have that kind of money," but I don't really have that kind of money. But if it's my Porsche, I can say, "People's...You should be able to ride a lot on a regular basis without having to worry about "what to do".

So I immediately went to a used car site to see what I could find.After all, Porsche MT cars are expensive.(No wonder.)This is cheap!" But my husband says, "It's cheap!Even if you buy it cheap, it will cost you a lot of money for maintenance.They are all things that say "I'm not a good person....

After all, I can't suddenly drive a Porsche MT car now... (-_-)

If you just want to drive a manual transmission, you might as well buy a cheap domestic manual transmission car and drive it, but in the past, "II could drive well in the Comfort at the driving school, but not at all in the Boxster!It was, and when I got to drive my brother's Subaru Legacy (MT)."You're getting pretty used to it.I was told that I would be able to drive the Boxster, but when I got home and drove the Boxster, it was no good at all...

So, whenever possible, I would prefer a manual transmission vehicle that resembles the ride of a Porsche.

...and that would be...Volkswagen GolfKaa...

So, I immediately went online and rummaged through a variety of MT cars that looked good, including the "Golf". I talked to my husband about it.

Golf GTI MTSo, if you have a good one that's not modified, yeah, why not? Also.BMW 3 series RWD MT is good for learning the basics.I think. I mean, I want one myself.

So I wonder if that is a good line. But I must confess, I'm a woman after all, and I'd rather buy a car thanI would like to put the money toward removing blemishes and whitening the face first.

But if you keep talking like that, you'll never get away with it.A cool woman who can drive a Porsche MT car with ease.」にはなれないヽ(`Д´)ﾉ！

Therefore, "I'll buy my own Targa in the future.I'll keep the "goal" as it is.(But there is no MT Targa for Japanese market now...)But first, hopefully by the end of this year, "4 or more passengers(Children can ride too.)So, a good used MT car.Today, I am beginning to think seriously about whether I can get my hands on the "Mere Old Man"....
