Will power: TV celeb's Porsche on EBay for charity

Castofwillandgrace_5 Attention, "Will & Grace" fans. Eric McCormack (a.k.a. Will Truman) has put his Porsche Boxster on EBay. The 1999 model (so that'll be with the 2.5-liter engine) has 25,000 miles on the clock, a black leather interior and chrome wheels.

There's a wonderful line in the description: "Like Will, the car has been pampered, looks fabulous for its age, and swears it never had any work done."

The car was originally a gift from NBC for his superb work in the hit TV comedy, but now McCormack wants to spread the love by giving the proceeds to a Los Angeles-based charity, Project Angel Food.

McCormack, quoted in the EBay listing, says he and his wife, Janet, "feel strongly that the sexiest kind of vehicle is the one that delivers meals to those who are in need." The car is located in Los Angeles and, at the time of this writing, is going for $23,100. Bidding ends Friday, Sept. 5, at 12:15 p.m. PDT.
