Is this the ultimate jam-buster? Instead of sitting in tiresome queues, just fly over them. A new version of the AeroMobil flying car is set to be unveiled this week.
When in car mode the AeroMobil 3.0 is designed to fit into a normal parking space, as the wings fold into the passenger seat located behind the driver. When the wings are deployed, the aircraft is capable of flying 430 miles on a single tank of standard unleaded. It has a top speed of 100mph on land and 124mph in the air. The AeroMobil 2.5, its predecessor, made its first flight last year; the updated version has undergone design tweaks to strengthen its body and improve its aerodynamics and is undergoing test flights in Slovakia, where the company is based.

Zdd plus oil additive restores the levels of Zinc and Phosphate which helps coat metal on metal contact and therefore helps increase the life of engines built in 1987 and older. ZddPlus was developed to address the need to meet the specifications of the original oil for which their car engines were designed.

]]>The first known purchase of perhaps the best known muscle car on the planet was made by Gail Wise.
The Mustang caused a sensation when it was introduced, with 22,000 orders for the sporty vehicle taken on the first day of sales. It was priced at $2,368 US.
Watch the Video of 2015 Mustang Here
NEW YORK, US -- Ford celebrated the 50th birthday of its beloved Mustang
by displaying a new model of the convertible on top of the Empire State
Building in New York on Wednesday, April 16.
The Triple Yellow
2015 Mustang was taken apart, whisked up by elevator to the observation
deck and painstakingly reassembled overnight in freezing wind, rain and
snow.
More than 1,000 feet (304 meters) above the crowded streets
of Manhattan, the observation deck is too high to send the car up by
crane and although open air, too narrow for a helicopter drop.
So
a team of eight or nine spent more than five hours reassembling the car
by hand overnight, battling strong wind on the 86th floor of New York's
second tallest building.
"Zero visibility to start with," George
Samulski, manager of Ford North America design fabrication, told AFP.
"It got better as the night went on, but it was bad, it was cold, it was
windy."
By sunrise, the convertible was glittering and the views stunning.
Visitors
can admire the car until Thursday. After the deck closes to the public
at 2:00 am on Friday, the crew will dismantle the car all over again and
remove it.
It is the second time a Ford Mustang has gone on display atop the Empire State Building. The first time was in 1965.
The stunt marks 50 years since US auto giant Ford put the first Mustang on sale during an expo in New York on April 17, 1964.
Ford received 22,000 orders on the first day and sold 418,000 in one year.
The 50th birthday will be celebrated in great pomp at the New York International Auto Show from April 18 to 27. -- Rappler.com
It seems like it's been a long winter.
Do you do an oil change as part of getting your Classic Car ready for the Spring Summer Car Cruise?
Did you know that ?
It has been proven that the addition of ZDDP helps to protect the engine of all Classic and Muscle Cars, Auto Parts Canada Online is the Leading Canadian Reseller for ZDDPlus Oil additives. ZDDPlus is that little thing that matters! Get Yours today! From AutoPartsCanadaOnline.ca.
ZDDP is an important engine oil addictive. It is widely known for protecting its sliding metal-to-metal cam lifter interface. It has been added to engine oil in certain amounts for over seven decades. In the past, auto manufacturers have demanded that it be removed from engine oil as it results in increasing emissions at the car tailpipe. The demand was as a result of the United States EPA program that called for increased catalytic converter life. As a result EP additive ZDDP known in full as zinc dialkyldithiphosphate; has been removed systematically over the years. This has happened toe to toe with the OBDII introduction and implementation.
It has been proven that the addition of ZDDP helps to protect the engine by developing a film on cams and flat contact points to shield from extreme pressure and heat at the contact point. This film protects the base metal of the cam and lifter from wear. During normal service, ZDDP becomes phosphorus and zinc compounds, thus the ZDDP depletes. Studies have shown that a certain level of ZDDP is required or else depending on the extent of use of the engine, at around 3000 miles of operation, give or take 1000; ZDDP levels can drop below adequate levels and cease to provide protection like it should. "According to the SAE Tech Bulletin # 770087 [1&91; , operation of a flat tappet engine without adequate EP additives such as ZDDP quickly leads to lifter foot scuffing and cam lobe wear. Camshafts are typically only surface hardened leaving the core ductile for strength". The experts say that once the cam lobe wear is up to 0.0002, the degradation that follows is fast and usually disastrous. Cars equipped with flat tappet cams need ZDDP for protection at their high-pressure points. The newly manufactured cars have roller rockers and as a result, ZDDP is not needed in those applications. Enter the new Plus protection - ZDDPlus oil addictive.
ZDDPlus oil additive has the correct level of ZDDP an engine requires. It gives at least 0.19% of zinc and 0.14% phosphorous when a 4oz. bottle is introduced to a regular 5 quart oil change. This is the same quantity in pre-OBDII oils. The use of ZDDPlus gives complete control over the level introduced into the engine oil which is best for maximum performance. ZDDPlus will help keep combustion particles from clumping. Experts have recorded it as the best classic engine protector. Simply add a 4 ounce bottle at every oil change and enjoy full protection throughout the life of your oil. Using high detergent oils reduces the friction reduction that the ZDDPlus affords; it's better to stick to what works right!

Auto Parts Canada Online is delighted to announce that it has been appointed as the Canadian Distributor for ZDDplus Oil Additives and ZPaste Cam Assembly Lube by ZPlus LLC.
ZPlus LLC is a company formed by classic car enthusiasts to meet the needs of classic car collectors.
ZDDPlus is the original, best researched and documented Cam wear solution available.
The ZDDplus oil additive solution was developed by engineers and automotive technicians to address the need of classic car owners for oil that will meet the specifications of the original oil for which their engines were designed.
Why do we need ZDDPlus™?
To quote one 2005 research study: “The most common antiwear additives used in engines are zinc dialkyldithiophosphates (ZDDPs), which have the chemical formula Zn[S2P(OR)2&91;2, where R is an alkyl group. ZDDPs have successfully been used for over 60 years, and to date no superior antiwear additive has been developed for use on steel.”
ZDDP has an excellent track record at protecting the sliding metal-to-metal cam lifter interface. Historically, ZDDP has been added to oils in amounts resulting in approximately 0.15% phosphorus and 0.18% zinc. ZDDP protects by creating a film on cams and flat lifter contact points in response to the extreme pressure and heat at the contact point. The film of zinc and phosphorus so formed provides a sacrificial wear surface protecting the base metal of the cam and lifter from wear. In the course of normal service, this conversion of ZDDP to elemental zinc and phosphorus depletes the ZDDP level in the oil.
Studies show that depending on the specific engine and severity of duty, after 2000-4000 miles of operation, the level of ZDDP can drop below that considered adequate to provide wear protection to the cam and lifters. According to the SAE Tech Bulletin # 770087,2 operation of a flat-tappet engine without adequate antiwear additives such as ZDDP quickly leads to lifter foot scuffing and cam lobe wear. Camshafts are typically only surface hardened leaving the core ductile for strength. According to the SAE Bulletin, once cam lobe wear reaches 500 μm (0.020 “), “subsequent wear is usually rapid and catastrophic.”
In order to make engines last in the absence of ZDDP, virtually all IC (internal combustion) engines designed in the last ten years utilize roller lifters. Today, ZDDP has been reduced in practically all automotive engine oils, rendering them less suitable for use with older engines with non-roller lifters. ZDDPlusTM is the ONLY antiwear component which re-establishes the ZDDP levels our classic car’s engines were designed for, while allowing the car owner to use the base oil of their choice.
While some off-the-shelf additives may have some ZDDP, the amount per bottle is small, and when enough is used to get the proper concentration of ZDDP, there is a quart or more of unspecified oil that comes along with it. This dilution of 20% of your oil with unspecified oil also means there is 20% less of the proper additive package. The chart below compares the amount of ZDDP in ZDDPlus™ to GM EOS, a leading additive which claims to provide ZDDP-based wear protection. The ounces of each additive given in the chart is what you would have to add to 5 quarts (160 ounces) to achieve the target phosphorus level listed in red.
