Adam Carolla bought Paul Newman's Le Mans-winning Porsche 935, and put up $4.3 M in Lamborghinis to sell to cover the expense
Carolla is offering five of his vintage Lamborghinis, including two incredibly rare Miuras, seeking a grand total of more than $4.3 million from the sale to recoup the money from the purchase of Paul Newman's Le Mans-winning Porsche 935, a gorgeous and historically important racer that took 2nd place at the race in 1979, and 1st place in 1981 and 1983. It's also one of the only race cars to ever be sponsored by Apple, Inc.

Porsche made a touching video for Audi’s racing departure, working off the Audi video that had welcomed Porsche back from their absense
Group brothers, fellow countrymen, and gentlemen racing rivals, Porsche and Audi share a long history of racing against each other in the world’s motorsport competitions.
After the Dieselgate scandal took its toll on the VAG Group, Audi decided to retire from the FIA World Endurance Championship, enabling a heartwarming tribute from its fierce competition rival – Porsche.

1100 dollar rust free 914 was quickly snapped up on Craigslist, it came from California in the early 80s, got stuck in a Minnesota garage for the past 2 decades. Damn it.
didn't take long to rip out the interior and replace it.
man, that is tight!

GCBC's The Good 12 For 2017
None have base prices above USD $67,000. They reflect many different parts of the market, they come from different places, they're powered by very different engines, they're accomplished in different areas. And when any one of them drives by, I want it for myself.
These may not be the best 12 vehicles you can buy. They're certainly not the 12 most reliable, the 12 fastest, the 12 most efficient, or the 12 most affordable. Undeniably, they're not the 12 most popular. But, with an attempt to represent a thorough cross-section of the market, they are the 12 vehicles we want for Christmas this year.
Click any of the images to be taken to the model's Sales Stats page. Don't forget to check out GCBC's The Bad 8, the cars which we don't want to receive even as gifts. For more on what The Good 12 really is, visit the GCBC Awards page.
 | MAZDA 3 5-DOOR It's the most affordable vehicle in The Good 12. But paying less shouldn't mean accepting less. Interactive, engaging, and handsome, the Mazda 3 is a car you'll want to drive, not just be driven in. |
 | JEEP WRANGLER The Jeep Wrangler does not pretend to be something it is not. In fact, it can't. But the Jeep Wrangler is a 4x4 convertible with true capability. That's enough. |
 | FORD MUSTANG There are too many good Mustangs to choose from – we can't just pick one. Even the base V6 now announces the Mustang range's sports car credentials. The GT350 is almost too good to be true. |
 | MAZDA MX-5 MIATA This is the best car in the world. Obviously, it's not the best transportation module for everybody. But the latest Miata exceeds the expectations for what a Miata ought to be. |
 | VOLKSWAGEN GOLF GTI What if there were no vehicular choices? Families, enthusiasts, budget-conscious city dwellers: everybody could make do with a GTI. Compromise doesn't have to be a dirty word. |
 | HONDA ODYSSEY Nothing beats a minivan's knack for combining affordability, personal space, or cargo flexibility. And no minivan beats the Honda Odyssey, the people mover of choice for drivers. |
 | MAZDA CX-9 There's enough power and enough space – barely – to make the CX-9 our favourite family utility. More power and space would be nice. But the CX-9 doesn't need to look any better than it already does. |
 | RAM 1500 ECODIESEL Diesels and pickup trucks go together like Wayne Gretzky and the Oilers. It's just the way it's meant to be. So much torque. Car-like fuel economy. Impressive urban ride and handling. In a truck. |
 | VOLVO XC90 The ride quality isn't perfect. It's not as big inside as you expected. The infotainment unit looks better than it works. But this is Volvo at its best, at its most stylish, at its most luxurious. |
 | PORSCHE MACAN S You used to ask why Porsche would build a small, performance-oriented SUV. Now, you ask how Porsche wrapped so much performance and usability into one package. |
 | CHEVROLET SUBURBAN You need one vehicle. It must do everything. It must carry your family and your neighbour's family and your stuff and their stuff and tow a gigantic horse trailer, horses included. This is that vehicle. |
 | DODGE CHARGER It's been more than a year but no rival is even attempting to catch up. An absurd 707-horsepower sedan isn't something Ford or Chevrolet or Honda or Toyota or any mainstream brand will do. Except Dodge.SRT HELLCAT |

How Porsche is inspiring new drivers
I have never driven a Porsche - I want to but never had the opportunity. All I know about the car is what I read in magazines, read on the net and what I heard form friends who had the chance to drive one. Anyway, recently Porsche got together 50 people who were not Porsche owners, set a MPG challenge and gave them a Panamera to drive for 24 hours each after
I guess that's a cool way to attract new potential customers.
Lucky buggers.
