Our Favorite Porsches on eBay: Volume 45
We've been compiling the best Porsche models on eBay for about a year and a half now, and we've seen some pretty astonishing cars pop up now and again. There is some great new stuff every two weeks, so check back often. We've tracked down five more exciting Porsches for you nice people to purchase today, including a Brumos-aping Liberty Walk widebody 997, a paint to sample 991 GT3 RS, a 997 GT3 that needs some work, a 996 GT3 that looks like a great car, and an overpriced "market adjusted" Cayman GT4. Some of these cars could be great collection investments, while others might prove to do more financial harm than good.

4 Reasons The Guardians of Porsche Winemaker's Dinner Needs to be on Your Bucket List
Hosted by Porsche for the last 4-years, this event is an opportunity for Porsche to recognize those in its community who are strong stewards of the brand and have a lasting impact on the Porsche community as a whole.   This year, Porsche invited FLATSIXES.com to attend the event as their guest.  It's something we've always wanted to do, but have never been able to secure a ticket (it sells out fast), until now.  After attending we can say with much certitude that this is one event that should be on every Porsche fan's bucket list.  Here's why.

FALKEN To Continue Racing Partnership With Porsche
When Team Falken Tire announced their departure from the then Tudor United Sports Car Championship many long time fans were heartbroken. Not only were we losing the only customer team to run a 911 RSR and a pair of exceptional drivers (Bryan Sellers and Wolf Henzler), we were also losing one of our favorite liveries. While it was known in some circles that we would see that famously painted livery back in action in 2016, Falken made it official last week when they announced they would continue their partnership with Porsche. Here's where you can expect to see the green and blue RSR race and who will be doing the driving.

A Porsche Joke at Ferrari's Expense
Given the nature of this site we're sent a lot of unsolicited emails.  Recently, a number of them have contained Porsche related jokes.  We usually discount them and don't share because we assume you've all already heard them. However, a conversation with a reader recently made us change our outlook.  We're too deep into this whole Porsche thing and our assumptions about what you may or may not have heard are probably wrong. :-) With that said, here's a funny little Porsche joke sent in by reader Richard Lane. If you have something you think might be of interest to other readers, please send it in to us at tips@flatsixes.com

This is the New 919 LMP1 Hybrid for the 2016 Season
To the untrained eye most of the differences to the new 919 are superficial. However, for the first time, Porsche is taking full advantage of the WEC regulations and have made significant changes to the 919's aero configuration. In addition, due to rules around fuel usage and consumption, the V4 turbo gas engine is even more efficient with better energy recovery through its hybrid system.  All together, the new 919 is lighter and leaner, has new aero, a new livery and new numbers.

Porsche Stories From Around The Web
Despite our best efforts, it's not always possible for us to cover everything that's happening in the world of Porsche at any given time.
