It all started with him pointing at cars on the street and asking what make and model they were. Sebastian wanted to drive all of them. Once he discovered that his relatives did not know every make and model visible on the road, Sebastian had to do something, so he started being especially attentive to what every vehicle he’d see had written on its back.
The family’s ’72 Mercedes-Benz was a subject of fascination for our fellow writer, as he considered it to be the greatest car in the world. A roll-over proved that it was unexpectedly safe as well, but it had to be sold afterward.
The years went by, and Sebastian got his driver’s license, with tuition paid by the aunt that lovingly raised him in his early years. With no car in sight, he started saving up, and eventually bought an E30 BMW 3 Series. A few months later, he got his dream job - writing about cars for a local website, which became his launching pad in online journalism.
After seven years of writing the latest automotive news, Sebastian took the challenge and joined the autoevolution family.
