sponsors: Our Favorite Porsches on eBay: Volume 54 We've been compiling the best Porsche models on eBay for almost two years now, and we've seen some pretty astonishing
cars pop up now and again. In all that time, we've published these every other week. Well, enough of you have spoken up that we're going to try a weekly format, with two of us picking selections, so check back often. This week, thanks to considerable reader feedback, we've focused on some more "affordable" Porsches. These include a 924 Turbo that may or may not turn out to be a good buy for someone that likes to get their hands dirty, a reasonably priced 944 S2 Cabriolet, a 550 Spyder recreation
worth every penny, ditto on a 356 speedster replica and a well priced 356 C driver. Some of these cars could be great collection investments, while others might prove to do more financial harm than good. OTHER POSTS YOU MAY ENJOY

Please support our sponsors: Did This Olympic Cyclist Really Just Win This Race? Or, Was it Staged? When it comes to attracting viewers on television, networks and producers will go to great lengths. Take this segment of 60 Minutes Australia. In it, Olympic cyclist Anna Meares is challenged to a race by the
show's host. The catch? She's on her bike and he's driving his Porsche Boxster. Meares can accelerate from 30 kph to 60 kph in just 3 seconds. That's pretty damn fast. The Boxster in question can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds. However, what happens when the race isn't from a standstill and the competitor in question has all their torque instantly available? Watch the race for yourself and you judge? Was it fixed or was it real?

It's a lasting reminder that Porsche doesn't always triumph at the races.

stellar racing record. OTHER POSTS YOU MAY ENJOY
Please support our sponsors: 5 Factors That Go Into Porsche's 24 Hours of Le Mans Racing Strategy In less than a week's time Porsche will be competing in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The team has competed continually since the early 1950s, and this is their 3rd outing in the 919 Hybrid. While every year is
important, this year is especially so as Porsche is both the current title defender and the leader in both the manufacturers' and drivers' classifications of the 2016 World Endurance Championship. In preparation for the race, Porsche relies on a team of masterful strategists to plan each move of the race much like a chess master would prepare for a match; playing 'what-if' scenarios over and over again. Here are the 5-factors they take into consideration each and every time.

It's almost as if the items worthy of note increase at some exponential rate as compared to the number of new Porsche owners and fans. With that in mind, from time to time, we'll bring you a round-up of other Porsche related stories you might find of interest and link you to them. If you read a story somewhere, or
