Goodbye Porsche 911 GT3

991 late model Porsche 911 GT3

Suddenly, I said goodbye to my 991.2 Porsche 911 GT3, which I loved, loved, and cherished very much, on August 21, 2020.

Still, I'm so lonely and very painful now that I can cry just thinking about GT3.

Why did you let go?

that is.

Recently, the announcement of the GT3 of the new Porsche 911 (992), which is getting information with a lot of reality, is approaching, and I can not explain anything else, but I have various thoughts and thoughts. Because of that, I decided on various things in my own way (not explained).

One day, I suddenly said to my husband, "I'm going to say goodbye to GT3." I also told the children, "I'm thinking of saying goodbye to GT3."

To my eldest daughter who usually treats my Porsche lover as "Porsche, I'm saying Porsche, yes yes", this time only "Eh! Why !! I wanted it, I wanted it, and I finally got it, but will I let it go? I don't think it's too bad for Mr. xx! It's okay if GT3 is gone! " Tsundere ... (← I'm happy with my eldest daughter (laughs)).

No, so I was almost crying even though I was told so many things, and I was about to change my decision, but since I made the decision, I proceeded with the story as it was.

here.

sorry.

I don't regret it when I decide myself, decide the day when I will take over GT3, and I knew that day would come, but when I came to the reality that GT3 was gone. I have so many thoughts that I really really really want to meet again, but I can't meet anymore, so I'd like to write here.

Some people may think that it is annoying, so please skip it if you feel uncomfortable. This time I would like to write this blog for my complete memory of me. It's long.

The beginning is the Iikura intersection

As those who have read this blog from the front know, the moment I thought "I want" the Porsche 911 GT3, one day, the black GT3 I met at the Iikura Katamachi intersection in Minato Ward was the trigger. ..

• 

At that time, I was still a terrible Porsche beginner, and if I was not so interested in GT3, I did not know much.

The moment I saw the GT3 running away at the Iikura intersection, I thought, "What's that !!" and "It's too cool! I want that Porsche!", And I felt like I fell in love in an instant.

After that, there was a touring that I happened to invite, so I couldn't participate on a schedule, but I went to see him off, and there again.I had the opportunity to meet a lot of GT3sIt is.

At that time, I wasn't quite sure that GT3 was a so-called Yakumono, a Porsche that couldn't be bought easily, so I usually tell the sales staff "I want it anyway."

The day I first met

It wasn't the time to get a production quota for a new car, so I said, "Please tell me if a used one comes out."

And this also miraculously came out soon. Now, I'm convinced that I met in order to meet.

I can still see the actual car before considering whether to buy it, so I still remember the day I went to see the GT3.

GT3 in front of me. It was really nice. It was so nice that I had no choice but to "want" my heart.

However, GT3 was reasonably priced, and there are some black carrera that I can't let go of. Is GT3 good with more cars? In situations where you have to make an immediate decisionHaven't you been so worried in your life? I was worried..

As a result, I decided to buy it and GT3 came to me safely. That was October 2018.

When it was decided that GT3 would come to me, I had no regrets. Only feelings of happiness. It feels like the days of excitement have begun.

When I delivered the car, I didn't have the courage to drive it myself, soHave a sales person drive and drive a littleDid. Now, this is also a very good memory.

Since I have memories of this time, even at the last time to say goodbye to GT3, instead of taking the GT3 to the Porsche center by myself, I asked the sales person who ran at the time of delivery to run again at the end I wanted to, so I had you come to pick it up.

At the beginning and the end, he wanted to tell GT3 that "this is the end".

"Finally, let the sales person drive you back home. I'm sure you'll go to someone who cares for you next time."

No. I can cry.

I never imagined that the day would come when I would write a blog with so much tears.

Days since GT3 came

Now, back to the story, the GT3 that first entered the parking lot at home when the car was delivered. Do not rub the lip, or enter the parking lot at home while having the sales staff look at it many times.

I was born at this time because I was worried that "Wow, GT3 may rub my lip if I'm not careful!"Inclined mania soul in me(Lol).

I'm wondering if I'm glad I was able to measure the slope, but I don't rub the GT3 lip anyway, right? It was also at this time that I started to worry about the slope in various places to confirm that.

Even with that, I also liked being able to think about "I can come here with GT3" every time I go to various places, and feel that way.

However, when parking at my home parking lot, there was a high possibility that the diffuser would be rubbed due to the structure of the parking lot.I took the plunge and removed the diffuser as well.↓

I think there weren't many GT3s doing that. However, the lack of a diffuser made it a very easy-to-use GT3 for me, who was basically riding in the city.

You can also put on the diffuser for the first time in about 2 years. I'm sorry I took it.

And as soon as the car was delivered, the desired number was won, soI also went to the Land Transport Bureau to change the number..

This should have been left to the Porsche Center, but I really wanted to do it myself.

So, I forced the sales staff to change the number (plate) myself.

This series of work to attach the number you want to the too cute Porsche 911 GT3 by yourself. I really feel that it was just a few days ago.

Nico at the Porsche doorIt was when I was at the Land Transport Bureau that I first noticed.

I was really happy when I shot the GT3 with the same number as the black curler.

I will write it now, but when I was a college student, an older sister I knew said, "I bought two white and blue 911s because the couple can not decide the color they want for Porsche 911 differently." I was watching.

At that time, I didn't know much about Porsche yet, but as a college student, I thought, "I also want a Porsche 911 in a different color someday."

That was the moment when it came true.

The moment when the black Carrera and the white GT3 line up.

It was the moment when I suddenly thought that I wanted to own a 911 in a different color someday even though I didn't know anything about Porsche when I was in college.

Thinking, having a dream, even if it's completely unconscious like me this time, I'm sure it will continue to have some influence on me somewhere and I can realize what I wanted to do in this way. It was also the moment when I felt that it would lead me to the future.

It was also the moment when I realized the importance of dreaming and thinking that I wanted to realize.

After GT3 came, I floated for a while and went to Tsutaya in Daikanyama at night.

I can't tell the difference from the black carrera, soYou can also change the key to white..

Since GT3 was not a keyless entry, I would run with the key in place, and then Porsche of my favorite key chain would sway, so in GT3 the key chain 911I also made a parking space..

I enjoyed everything, even the little things.

At a later dateLet's also whiten the central part of the keySo, this seems to be a little difficult, so I asked someone to replace it and make further changes.

Do you understand? The one on the left has not changed the center, and the one on the right has also changed to white in the middle ↓

Isn't Michelin's Cup 2 tires too dangerous for me to run (on rainy days, etc.)? There was also a story, so at the Sunako Juku held at P7 of Fuji Speedway, thatCheck how much the Cup 2 tires slide on wet roadsI have also done it.

In conclusion, as long as you do not drive very dangerously, cup 2 tires will be okay, so I decided to go as it is.

In any case, I didn't dare to ride GT3 when it was raining except when it was accidentally dropped ^^

I also washed the car many times..

I think that I can only wash my Porsche with such affection, so of course I will wash the GT3 myself. I also loved washing the GT3.

After all, GT3 has never been asked to be washed by another person.

When I washed the rear wing, which is not found in the black carrera, I found various things such as "Wow, water collects in such a place" and "There is water on the back of the wing, so I have to wipe it clean!" While doing this, I got used to washing the GT3.

I really like to wash Porsche, and it's an important time for Porsche and myself.

I also had a GT3 ride alone at a Ferrari event.

It was really cool, and while watching a lot of Ferraris, my GT3 was by far the coolest in me, and the lovable one was Porsche.

Since I was participating in the 2018 Porsche rally event (participation at that time was Black Carrera), it is an after-event of that rallyParticipated in the reunion with two cars, Black Carrera and GT3..

Two cars were parked side by side on the lawn of Museo in Gotemba, so I was happy with this view for several hours.

The reason why I went all the way with two cars is that a professional cameraman will shoot my Porsche at this event, so I really want to have two cars shoot.

Here is the photo you took.

The photos you have taken are and will continue to beI will decorate it.. It's a very, very good memorial.

Others ... Oh yeah, as Google teacher told me, I believed in car navigation and ran on a road I didn't know.It becomes a blockade in all directions with GT3Sometimes I wanted to cry.

I still remember the relief I had when I managed to escape from the scene and return to my home without hitting or rubbing the GT3.

AndMy 2019 starts with the Porsche 911 GT3..

The GT3 illuminated by the first sunrise was too beautiful.

I also participated in the touring where many Porsche gathered.

What makes me happy is that I was able to put GT3 side by side with other GT3s. I was very happy that one of the wonderful Porsche cars was my cute GT3.

It was around this time that I was told about launch control, and after all I didn't know anything about cars, so I had no choice but to try launch control.

Then, I did it the moment the environment was ready to try it, and I was struck by the sound of GT3 and its acceleration.

Launch control start in GT3 was fun to be addicted, and it was also at this time that I thought Porsche was narcotic.

After that, I had several launch experiences with Cayman and others, but I also felt that the launch of GT3 was completely unbelievable.

Well, on other occasions, not only from Tokyo / KantoI also go to the place where Porsche gathered from the Tokai area..

It was a lot of fun to meet so many wonderful people through Porsche and through GT3, and all of them are good memories.

I did various things with the Porsche 911 GT3 and met a lot of people, but the one who spent the most intense time with the Porsche 911 in 2019 wasWhen I participated in the Porsche rally event with GT3I think it was.

I used to ride GT3 in the city a little bit, but at this rally, I ran various places with GT3 from morning till night, and in various terrains that can not be done in Tokyo. In various ways of enjoying, I felt like I was taught a new fun of Porsche 911 GT3 that I had not been able to know yet.

I enjoyed running through various scenes in GT3 with many Porsche 911s. How many times did you think, "This is Porsche!", Unlike when running leisurely in Tokyo.

Moreover, thanks to GT3, I found it fun to drive on the pass for the first time.

It was my first experience to enjoy the winding road that runs on the Porsche 911 GT3 without fear even at a moderate speed.

It was an experience that I wished the road wouldn't end as it was.

Anyway, I had a good time with GT3 with a lot of Porsche 911s.

I don't drive on the circuit with GT3, so I don't really know the true awesomeness of GT3 at all (no, even if I'm a little circuit driver, I'm definitely not sure. I'm confident that I can't use half the performance of GT3 (laughs).

Even so, when I was driving on public roads, I was able to enjoy the GT3 so much that I couldn't have enjoyed it anymore.

In addition to these events, of course, I usually enjoyed spending time with GT3.

Even a Mac drive-through will go.

I often release GT3 even if it is about 10 minutes on foot from my house. At that time, I guess I just liked the time I spent with GT3.

I also liked the slow and rattling.

It was cute to say that it was a mess, and I loved the rattling of the child next to me so much that it bounced. It may be strange though.

Even in 2020, starting from January 6th with the first drive of the Porsche 911 GT3, I have spent my normal daily life with GT3, but as you all know, I have entered a period of refraining from going out due to the coronavirus. ..

After deciding goodbye

I couldn't even ride GT3 for a while.

And although the problem of coronavirus has not been solved yet, my normal life is gradually returning while maximizing infection prevention ... And, in July 2020, let's say goodbye to GT3 in me. And decided.

Just after making that decision, I received an invitation to touring. Unfortunately, I couldn't participate in the touring because I had already planned the schedule.

However, I thought, "This may be the last time I can put GT3 side by side with other GT cars," so I really wanted to take GT3 with me.I participated only in seeing off the touring..

On this day's touring, I was able to line up with many Porsche GT cars and Speedster, and I had a good memory for me and for my GT3 at the end.

I was wondering if I would meet another Porsche with GT3 anymore, but at the very end I had another chance.

That seems to be the real end, my ownEncounter with Porsche 911 GT3 and GT3 that looks exactly likewas.

Don't forget the last two shot with GT3I also drew it in the picture..

later,I was able to shoot GT3 in Chiba ForniaThat was also good.

The day to hand over the GT3 was also decided, so the day before that, I did the last car wash at night. I just washed the car a while ago, and in fact the GT3 was still shiny.

This is what I was tweeting when I washed the car last time ↓. At this point, the GT3 delivery date hadn't been decided, but I had decided to say goodbye, so even at this point, there wasn't a car wash that made me so sad.

At this time, it was just shiny, so it may not have been necessary to wash the car last from the viewpoint of "dirt".

However, for me, the last thing I could do was to clean the GT3 by washing the car, and while spending time with the GT3 in that way, I would like to express my gratitude for the past two years.

While washing the car alone in the middle of the night, it will be a car wash while talking about various memories, gratitude, and feelings of love for GT3 (in my head because it is too perverted if I say it out loud) I did.

When I thought that it was the last time to wash this rear wing, I couldn't help but cry.

I'll write it already, but I never thought that the day would come when I would wipe my tears with car wash microfiber. Because I was washing the car and I couldn't help because I had nothing else to wipe. … Well, just in case, I used it before using it!

No, I don't care about that, anyway, I was sad, sad, sad.

Anyway, I'm glad I was able to wash the car at the end. It was sad, but it was also a very happy time at the very end.

And the day before the pick-up date.

On the last night, I went to the parking lot again at night to pick up the luggage left in the car.

From ETC cards that you might forget, open the trunk and other places where you can open everything, and check what you have left behind.

After checking everything, all I had to do was go home and wait for tomorrow's pick-up time ... but before I got home, I suddenly said, "Oh, I sat in the back seat of the GT3 (though not). I thought, "I never had it," and involuntarily to a suspicious person who sits in the back seat of GT3 in the parking lot for one person.

So.

Well, as expected, various thoughts came up here as well, and it was fluttering ...

I don't want to cry in public, so I spent a while in the car trying to say goodbye with GT3 as much as I wanted.

Yeah, this is a GT3 parked in the parking lot in the middle of the night, one person sits in the rear without a back seat, and one person is crying there, if a security person comes around, surely A project that seems to be called out.

When I think calmly now, it is a miracle that I didn't meet anyone at the time of car wash. It was good ^^

Finally, on the day of pick-up.

I wanted to drive myself from the parking lot to the point where I got out of the car until the very end, so I did so. If it is true, I thought that I wanted to drive briskly until the end, but when I got on it, the feeling that I did not want to move forward became bigger, and the parking lot was slow.

I couldn't step on it as usual when I thought that it would be over in a few meters.

However, I couldn't do that forever, so at the end I got off from GT3 and replaced with a sales person.

I saw the cute Porsche 911 GT3 returning to a new house that is not my home.

Even in places where I couldn't get this speed, the GT3 that ran away to the very end sounded good, and its back was too cool.

After seeing off the last figure, I returned home and was always looking for the GT3 key, but my hand was unconsciously searching for the GT3 key, trying to put something there with a habit.

I realized that I had nothing to put on, and I cried.

Even after that, tears come out every time I think about it, as if I were stupid. Still, I have decided and I have no regrets.

And I believe that the next owner is also a good person, and since I was born as a GT3 of Porsche 911, I hope that unlike me, you can use the original performance even more. hoping.

The owner of the black GT3 who let me meet up to GT3, and everyone who showed me GT3, met me with the current GT3, and after that he took care of GT3 and enjoyed it in the rally I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the people, including the Porsche Center sales staff, who have met me, and everyone who has been able to get acquainted through GT3.

Porsche 911 GT3 (991.2), an important and important Porsche. It was really nice to meet you.

Thank you for Porsche911 GT3.
