If you’ve spent any time in traffic lately, there’s a great chance you’ve experienced (or been) one of many angry drivers on the road. Road rage is a fact of being behind the wheel, but it’s much worse in some states than in others.

In extreme cases, like in California’s agriculturally intensive San Joaquin Valley, elevations have plummeted not by inches, but by dozens of feet.
Electric vehicle sales growth might be slower than some had hoped, but people are still buying them, making 2023 the best year for EVs in the U.S. to date. Despite the naysayers, the industry is go electric, and recent research from iSeeCars shows that car dealers are hopping on board.
Cars in Pixar movies have such a distinctive look that they're pretty much all I can evoke when I see anything with a lifted roof. It's a cute caricature on something like a mail truck, but seeing it done to an armored 2004 BMW 760Li High Security gives me pause.
