For long endurance races like Sebring, Twitter can be an invaluable source of information. Not only can Twitter provide an up-to-the-minute view of what's happening in the race, it can connect you with intimate details and insight from the drivers and teams themselves.  In fact, I know of no other way to stay as closely and accurately informed about what's happening in the Porsche world before, during and after the race (even if you were at the event itself) than through the "Twittersphere". You just need to know who to follow.

We've been compiling some amazing Porsche models on eBay for over two years now, and we've seen some pretty astonishing cars pop up now and again. This week's mix should have a little something for everyone. Keep in mind, some of these Porsches could be great collection investments, while others might prove to do more financial harm than good.

Ferdinand Piech, former VW Chairman, is reported to be losing his board seat at Porsche SE according to a report in Bild am Sonntag. In case you're not familiar, Porsche SE is the company in which the Porsche and Piech families keep their holdings in Europe's largest carmaker, VW. 

Leonard Turner tells us that a good reflection shot is not an everyday occurrence. The details behind this photo make it even more rare. Not only was the location an unlikely one, but it took today's technology to bring a shot taken 15-years ago back to life.

If you enjoy these Porsche cartoons (or any of our other posts for that matter) we would love it if you would take a minute to share them with other like minded Porsche friends. All you need to do is click any of the social sharing buttons you see below this entry. Alternatively, you can click here, or on the image above, and then share it by selecting any of the social network buttons you find on the side and bottom of the post. 

Porsche recently issued recalls for the Macan, 911 and 718's airbags, and 911 and 718 windshields. The 911 and 718 airbag recall appears to be similar to the previous airbag recall which affected a slightly smaller number of cars.

Remember last year's Luftgekühlt?  Not only was it a fantastic show, but to make it a bit more "interactive" Patrick Long and team introduced us to "#luftauto", a mid-80's 911 SC converted into a 911 Safari or East African Rally tribute. Patrick recently stopped by Jay Leno's Garage along with #luftauto and it's new owner, Eli Kogan.  Not only did he go through details of the build, perhaps more so than we've heard in the past, he also put the 911 up on the lift and then Jay took the car off-roading with Eli. 

In 1987 the fastest car in the world didn't come from Ferrari, Lamborghini or Porsche. Though it looked like a Porsche, RUF's status as a manufacturer made the original CTR Yellowbird a model in its own right. Capable of 213 miles per hour at Nardo (officially, unofficially it could go even faster), the Yellowbird was an astonishing performer. This is not that car.

Wow! What a weekend on Amelia Island. Between the PCA's Werkes Reunion, the Concours being moved up a day to Saturday and all the Porsches for sale at auction there was almost too much to do and see.  Some of our favorite events were the auctions. It's always exciting to see how high the bidding will go (one Porsche sold for $5.65MM) and it helps us to get a better handle on the market.  So far, only 4 of the 5 auction houses (RM Sotheby's, Gooding, Bonhams and Motostalgia) have reported results.  Between them, they had 73 Porsches on offer and sold 52 of them for a total of $20,760,550.
