Our Favorite Porsches On EBay This Week: Volume 15
Future Barn Finds Volume 15
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. Now we've tracked down five more exciting Porsches for folks to purchase. The list includes a Weissach Edition, a Paint To Sample 918 Spyder, a widebody Carrera, a rare 993, and a fully depreciated Cayman (Is it time to buy one?). Some of these cars could be great collection investments, while others might prove to do more financial harm than good. 
This Porsche 936 Junior Is An Insanely Cool Collectible 
Porsche 936 Jr.
What's a 936 Jr.?  That's one above. If you can't tell by the image it's a 1/2 scale replica of the 936 that Jackie Ickx and Derek Bell raced to victory at Le Mans in 1981. Depending on who you ask, somewhere between 50 and 100 of these were made. As a result, they're more rare than some full-size Porsche race cars. We recently found one for sale so we decided to dig a bit deeper into the history of these "go-karts".  Here's what we found out.

Will Porsche Premier The Cayman GT4 In A Video Game? 
Porsche Cayman GT4 Real Racing 3
The Cayman GT4 has been rumored to be in Porsche's product pipeline for longer than we can remember at this point.  We've taken point on both sides of the story and discussed why we think Porsche should build the Cayman GT4 as well as why we think they never will.  Based on what we learned, from an update of the video game Real Racing 3 of all places, it looks like all our speculation should come to an end quite soon.  Here's what we know right now.

This Racy New Porsche Really Cooks 
Pogenpohl P'7350
Yeah, yeah, it's not a car.  The Poggenpohl P'7350 is, however, from the great minds at Porsche Design Studio.  Poggenpohl teamed up with Porsche Design Studio a number of years ago and release the P'7340.  The kitchen in this post, is its spiritual successor. Check it out for yourself. 
Attempt To Impress Girlfriend With New Porsche Ends Badly For This Guy 
Porsche Panamera pulled over by CHP
Ok, I admit it, that's me in the picture above.  We were taking a tour down the Palm to Pines highway in a Panamera Turbo S when we got a little too happy with the "go pedal". Fortunately for us, the CHP officer that pulled us over was a Porsche fan and he let us go on our merry way.  Unfortunately, for the guy in this story, things didn't go so easily.  Read more.

Our Project Boxster Clubsport continues along in this third installment.  This month's project tackles a DIY improvement you can make on any Porsche (regardless of model), upgrading the lights around your license plate to LEDs.  This simple project is inexpensive, easy to do (less than 30 minutes) and can be done by absolutely anyone that can hold a screwdriver.  If you've been itching to try a DIY upgrade on your Porsche, this one should give you the confidence to do so and go onto something a bit more challenging. Here's what you need and how to do it.

Porsche facebook 10,000,000 fan contest
For those of you still holding out and without a Facebook account, here's yet another reason to join.  Porsche is recognizing the fact that their fan page just logged its 10,000,000th fan with a contest.   They've done it before, but this might just be the best prize yet as it involves a Porsche that very few of us will get to play with, let alone ever own.  Here are details on the contest, how to enter and what you'll win.
Did Porsche Just Unintentionally Reveal The Cayman GT4 In Their Latest Museum Video? 
Porsche Cayman GT4 revealed in video
We find it hard to believe that Porsche would do something like this unintentionally, but I guess you never know.  Regardless of their intentions, Porsche's latest video gives us another glimpse of what we believe is the soon-to-be-announced Cayman GT4.  Between this shot, and the teased reveal in Real Racing 3, something should be happening quite soon.  Watch the video for yourself and see what we mean. 
Why It Might Just Pay To Drive A Porsche Macan 
Porsche Macan
When buying a new car, of any make, it's generally accepted that your car is going to lose some of its value simply driving off the dealer's lot.  However, based on a recent study we read, that may not be the case for some fortunate Porsche Macan owners.  Porsche's newest crossover SUV seems to be defying gravity when it comes to depreciation.  Here's why.

Will The U.S. Get A Larger Allocation Of Macans In 2015?
40 Porsche macans
Last year, in the 7-months the Macan was available for sale in the U.S., Porsche delivered 7,241 of them.  Based on the nearly 7-month wait to get one (in some markets) it seems Porsche could have sold many more of them.  Why such a long wait to buy one? Simple. Supply constraints or allocation issues.  Could those allocation or supply constraints be lifting?  Amy Wilson, of Automotive News, talks with a number of Porsche Executives about the issue.  Here's what they had to say.

When Porsche fist released the video in this post we got so caught up in what appeared to be a glimpse of the much anticipated Cayman GT4 that we never really shared the story behind the video.  We fix that for you in this post.
