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.

Time Travel With Us To Review The 964 RS America
1993 Porsche 911 RS America
The 1993 RS America was the first Porsche with RS specs to come stateside in decades.  At the time, for some, it felt more like a "stripper" than the purist 911 it is.  Today, these' special 964s are prized by many.  We take a look back at their introduction, what makes them special and what they're selling for today.

LEGO Porsche 918 Spyder
The Porsche 918 Spyder is so complex it actually has miles of wiring and at least 50 electronic control units controlling its every move.  Combine that with two electric motors, a naturally aspirated V-8 engine, more carbon fiber than you can shake a stick at and you realize that assembling the real life model is best left to the professionals. That's why LEGO's version is such a treat as we experienced this past week.

Ever since Porsche "dropped the top" on the 2015 Porsche Boxster Spyder at the NYIAS we've been inundated with questions about how the top operates.  Is it as cumbersome as the 987 version?  Can you take it through the carwash? How long does it take to put it down?  Well, wait no longer, we answer all those questions and more in this post complete with a video showing the tops operation.
