Daniel is the one in our team who loves to push buttons. Not the ones you have in your home, or car, or wherever, but the ones who make us huff and puff. He loves writing, or so he claims, but he prefers to use his 10 words per minute typing skills to bring you a "behind the scenes" look at the automotive industry, rather than keeping you up to speed with new vehicles and their performances.He hates all electric vehicles and is a sucker for American muscle cars. So much that at one point he had a crush on Eleanor, even if it took her only sixty seconds to see him and be gone. Feeling abandoned, he turned to autoevolution for shelter, so we took him in.
