Ferkel The Nein-11 Versus The 908/14 
Ferkel the nein-11 vs 908/14
What's a 908/14 and who's this Ferkel character you ask? Well, you may not know them yet, but chances are you'll be hearing a lot more about them in the coming weeks and months.  Ferkel is a diesel powered 911 and the 908/14 is exactly that.  Both are LeMons race cars and we got to play with them last weekend on our way back from driving the new GTS.
Our Favorite Porsches On eBay This Week
Future Barn Finds
For all of the eccentric and eclectic Porsche collectors and enthusiasts out there, we've decided that it is about time someone aggregated the best of the best that eBay has to offer in the Porsches-for-sale department. We've tracked down five exciting Porsches for folks to purchase today, including a great open-top 968, an exceedingly rare Continental Cabriolet, one of the most insane track cars I've ever seen, a SEMA show car that has the go to match, and a surprisingly accurate replica of one of Porsche's prettiest racing cars ever made. Some of these cars could be great collection investments, while others might prove to do more financial harm than good.

Unfortunately, it's not what you think or what we had hoped when we first read the story. Porsche isn't opening up the doors to their "secret" warehouse and letting just anyone drive off in a priceless piece of Porsche history. However, they are making it much easier for Porsche visiting Porsche fans to get behind the wheel of their entire model line for as little as hour or as long as a week. Prices start at just 69.00 Euros. Details in this post.
