Farewell to Summer: Supercar enthusiasts enjoy one last drive

Sep 13, 2024, 9:11 AM Sadly, this year's summer has come to an end. This past Saturday brought a final burst of sunshine and heat to Switzerland, and many supercar owners took advantage of the perfect weather for a final drive. Unfortunately, the forecast for the next two weeks isn't as promising, with mostly cloudy and rainy days ahead.

Reflections on 9/11: New York, the Twin Towers, and resilience

Sep 11, 2024, 9:45 PM A blue Porsche 992 Carrera S was spotted parked on a side street in New York City, with One World Trade Center rising in the distance - a powerful symbol of strength and unity. Today marks 23 years since the tragic events of September 11, 2001. I've watched countless documentaries on 9/11, and I am deeply moved by the courage and selflessness of the FDNY, EMTs, and NYPD first responders who risked everything to save lives, putting others before themselves. We pause today to honor and remember the victims, their families, and the countless heroes whose bravery will never be forgotten.
