SUPER CAR…

Danish super car. From it’s ceramic brakes. Carbon fiber wheels. This is the ultimate in luxe. It is possible to glide through the length of Denmark in less than an hour. While driving as if you were in a James Bond film with style.

The Zenvo ST1 redefines excessive.

Everything about the car is blatantly, wonderfully over the top, from its turbocharged and supercharged 7.0-liter V-8 to the acres of carbon fiber that cover its race-spec chassis. Options include ceramic brakes (a wise investment), carbon-fiber wheels and a four-point roll cage.

Top speed is limited to 233 mph, which isn’t enough to earn the ST1 a spot in the top five fastest cars, but will let you cover the length of Denmark in just under an hour. Besides, it isn’t top speed that makes super exotics so much fun, it’s acceleration, something the ST1 has in abundance. The car reportedly will hit 62 mph in three seconds flat and get you to 124 mph in under nine.

Zenvo started work on the ST1 four years ago and says it will go into production next year. That seems about as likely as Chrysler surviving past Christmas, but the 15 people rich enough to get one won’t mind waiting around.

eBook Readers

Have you been hesitant about making the switch from holding a physical book to holding an eBook reader and reading an electronic book? We understand. Many of us have had the same reservations; however, with the low price of eBooks and the affordable price of eBook readers, along with their convenient storage, portability and versatility, more and more users are making the switch to eBook readers every day.

So why should you buy an eBook reader? Convenience. Instead of going to a bookstore to make a purchase or ordering a book online and waiting for it to arrive, you can purchase and download an eBook anytime, from any location with a Wi-Fi connection. Several classic books are free to download because their copyrights have expired, and when you don’t have to pay for printing, you don’t have to pay. Want more than one book? That’s fine.

The memory of eBook readers is large enough to hold several hundred books. eBook readers are the only way to carry countless books with you wherever you go, and keep the weight under a pound. You want more convenience? eBook readers make it easy to save your place, take notes, clip and save favorite quotations, and highlight passages you want to find again. eBook readers are designed for readability and to make your reading experience as enjoyable as possible.
