Read MoreCustom Harley-Davidson Road Glide Named “Zombie”
The Troy, Missouri based shop is a family-owned service and repair shop that provides preventative maintenance, state inspections, major service work, and customization.

Read MoreNew Suzuki Jimny Grows a Pair of Doors
If you’ve been reading MotorTrend for any extended period of time, then you know just how much we love the Suzuki Jimny. The terrain-tackling tiny titan rock crawled its way into our hearts.

Read MoreIt’s Called the Desert Beaver, and It’s the Tiny Electric Pickup We Need
We don’t cover the UTV, side-by-side, or Low Speed Vehicle (LSV) market much, but when an interesting one comes along, it can be hard to ignore. Take this Desert Beaver, for example.

Read MoreThe 2023 Kia EV6 GT Has a Ton of Power in a Compromised Package
The Kia EV6 is a great car. It’s reasonably priced, comfortable, offers as much as 310 miles of range and looks cool with its big ol’ ducktail on the back. But Kia knows it’s not enough to just be a good all-rounder in a world of high-performance electric cars. No, you’ve gotta be quick, too.…

Steve Garn might be one of the most interesting people we met at Fuel Cleveland this year.
