Conversation about Porsche 911 GT2 RS called Widow Maker

Meet the Porsche 911 GT2 RS at the Tokyo Motor Show 2019

The other day46th Tokyo Motor Show 2019I saw two Porsche 911 GT2 RSs on display.

One is silver and the other is white.

Both of them have a strong presence, and somehow, Porsche has an aura and is cute, but it is really cool.

Married couple conversation about Widowmaker

Is it because I met such Porsche 911 GT2 RS? ... I don't remember how the story flowed to the topic of GT2RS, but it's about my conversation with my husband the other day.

No, I'm sorry for the content that is really too silly ^^

It's too silly, so I'd like to put a picture of the Porsche 911 GT2 RS that is too cool in the middle (Source: Is the 2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS still a "widowmaker"?).

Well, what was our conversation like?

I was talking to Tekito about a car like "Would you like to buy this next time?"

* The conversation "Would you like to buy it?" At this time is just a delusional talk for the couple (laughs), so the conversation here is not about actually buying the car or buying it seriously. It's just "Tekito Talk" ^^

In the flow of the story, my husband said, "Then, let's make the Porsche 911 GT2RS next."

Furthermore, after that, "But GT2RS is called a widow maker, so Rika will be a widow."

So I said, "No, even if I bought the GT2RS, I would be the one to drive it. If anything happens, it's definitely not me."

Well, in the case of my home, "buying Porsche = my car", so even if I buy GT2RS, it will be my car (No, that's why it's a delusional talk! In reality I can't buy it, and I can't handle it ^^! Of course, I haven't considered purchasing it at all ~).

The delusional talk of the couple continued, "If GT2RS comes to my house, I will be the one who will happen, so I will not be the widow left behind, but the husband will be the one left behind by my wife." I was having a conversation. What kind of conversation.

Is the Porsche 911 GT2 RS a widow maker?

By the way, from the recognition that Porsche GT2RS, 700 horsepower & rear wheel drive is too dangerous for ordinary people to handle:

If the general public drives the GT2RS, there is a high possibility that it will lead to an accident.
↓
Since the husband who purchased GT2RS precedes, the remaining wife becomes a widow
↓
GT2RS is a widow maker

That's the flow.

Of course, the Porsche 911 GT2 RS is a car that takes safety into consideration, so no one actually causes an accident (unless you drive dangerously), just "a terrific car. It is a story that is told as one of the expressions.

What would you say if a man was left behind, not a widow?

So, returning to the story, in the case of my home, the "wife" is driving instead of the "husband", so if you apply this parable, the "husband" will be left behind.

I suddenly wondered here.

"Hey, if I survive, I'll be a'widow', but if my husband survives, what do you call it? A widow is a word used only for women, isn't it? What is called when a man is left behind? I asked my husband.

Then, the answer returned from my husband ...

"Well, isn't it'single'?"

What! !! !! !!

"Single"! !! !!

No, if I was left, I would be a "widow", but if my husband was left, I would suddenly be "single", wouldn't it be fun? !!

… And it was so unreasonable that it was “What's that !!”.

That's a silly story. I'm sorry (laughs).

Originally, the etymology of the word "widow" is discriminatory against women. It was said to be a "widow" meaning "a person who isn't") Yes, but anyway.

If I preceded, my husband would start a happy life without me, saying, "I'm single!" From that day, so I thought I'd do my best not to precede this anymore ^^ Fufufu.

English has words that describe the male version of the widow

By the way, in Japanese, there seems to be no definite word that can be a widow's antonym to describe the remaining man (some people have written it, but in me it exists as a widow's antonym). I wonder if there is any).

When this becomes English, the widow is "Widow". And the word when expressing the remaining man is "Widower".

It may not be a word made from the cultural element of "widow" in Japanese, but in English it may be a pure expression of "remaining wife" and "remaining husband".

Porsche 911 GT2 RS is a safe and comfortable car

As an aside, former F1 driver Mark Webber who drove the 2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS

"It doesn't matter if this car runs at 10 to 15 km / h in the city, but the next moment you enter the autobahn, you'll get 330 km / h. It's amazing. And this car is 1,000 km long. It doesn't matter if you drive a long distance. "

You said.

Porsche 911 GT2 RS with tremendous power that is feared as a "widow maker", it is actually a Porsche, it is thorough that it can be used from the city to the circuit, and it is made safely ^ ^

Anyway, what I wanted to write is that "safe driving is important" all the time. …Huh? Was that the story (laughs)?

Ah, I'm sorry for the content that can't be helped anymore ^^
