During the pandemic, people talked a lot about badly behaved drivers and how dangerous they were to others on the roads. People in some places have other things to worry about, such as animals on the roads, as a recent study from a personal injury attorney's office showed that some states have considerable numbers of fatal crashes involving wildlife.
WASHINGTON — Electric vehicles are a «hoax,» they do not work, and they are strengthening China's economy at the expense of American jobs — those are among the criticisms that contenders for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, including former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, have leveled on the campaign trail.

Each year, Wisconsin-based hot-rodders Ringbrothers bring a slew of modified American metal to the SEMA show, but for 2023 they cooked up something different. The custom car builder pulled the covers off «Paramount» yesterday, a gleaming 1961 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II with an American heart. Unlike some of the company's other creations, Paramount keeps a traditional look. While the original bodywork was stripped to the bare metal to remove any imperfections before being repainted a pristine shade of white, the design was left mostly untouched. «They're iconic and you don't have to change things just to change it,» co-founder Mike Ring told Car and Driver. Plus, Ring said, the buyer who commissioned Paramount was already in love with the swooping, elegant styling. Things are different, however, under the skin. While the V-8 engine is still a 6.2-lite
For those who like the Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR but think it's a bit too common (and claustrophobic in the cockpit), here's what you've been waiting for. This is one of just six CLK GTR Roadsters built, and if you have the cash – lots of cash – you could take it home. Better get to Las Vegas fast though. It's crosses the auction block tomorrow.
The Wisconsin-based tuner Ringbrothers often brings some of the most exciting builds to the SEMA Show, and it doesn't disappoint this year by premiering three restomods at the event. They include a 1961 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II called Paramount, a 1965 Ford Mustang Convertible called Uncaged, and a 1969 Dodge Charger called Tusk.
Perennial SEMA show stars Mike and Jim Ring, known as Ringbrothers, brought three builds to Las Vegas this year. There's «Tusk,» the Hellephant-powered 1969 Dodge Charger, and there's «Uncaged,» a 1965 Ford Mustang that calls back to one of their builds from last year, a 1964.5 Mustang christened «Caged.» These two represent the kind of confections we're familiar with from the Wisconsin-based brothers, American metal done up with marvelous lines and monstrous engines. The third build comes out of left field — or perhaps that's right field, depending on your perspective of the map. Known as «Paramount,» it is a 1961 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II embodying the ideal balance of restraint and intervention. As we said of the Eneos 1969 Jaguar E-Type XKE 2+2 with the Toyota 2JZ engine, it's the kind of Frankenstein build we love to see at SEMA.
