Our Favorite Porsches On eBay: Volume 18
future barn find
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 993 Carrera 2S Andial 3.8 liter, possibly the world's nicest 944, a gorgeous Green early 912, a Porsche powered sand rail, and we revisit a couple of insanely priced Porsche markets with some eBay examples. Some of these cars could be great collection investments, while others might prove to do more financial harm than good.    
Have A Drink With The Drunk Monks Of Sebring 
Porsche 911 GT3 RS official
Of all the races on the TUSCC schedule, it's the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring that has the biggest party atmosphere.  Maybe it's because so many drive from so far and camp out. Maybe it's the time of year and you have some "spring breakers".  Or, maybe it's because of fans like the Drunk Monks.  As we prepare for next week's race, we thought it a fine time to revisit our interview with this fun loving group who add so much to the unique flavor of the Sebring infield before, during and after the race. Read on to meet the Drunk Monks of Sebring.

We Learn The "Udder" Truth About The Sebring Cows

Almost every sport has its own group of "SuperFans" and the USCC is no different. In fact, if you've attended the 12 Hours of Sebring any time in the last 20+ years then there's a good chance you've seen some beer drinking cows walking around on their hind legs. No, it's not the hot humid air and yes, you might have had too much to drink, but that doesn't change the fact that there are walking, talking, beer drinking bovines strolling around the track hoping you will "moo for a brew". With the 12 Hours of Sebring coming up this weekend, we thought some of you, who haven't yet met the "Cows", might enjoy this interview with them.
