About Agaloola
Agaloola is a personal project born from my lifelong fascination with automotive technology. My name is Dan Mozes, and despite vision limitations that prevent me from driving, my passion for the automotive world remains strong. I stay informed about the latest developments and enjoy sharing my knowledge.
My journey into writing began with encouragement from my friend Hanoch, the editor and co-founder of "Hamit'an" (cargo in Hebrew), a daily transportation and logistics newspaper. Our late-night conversations often revolved around automotive innovations, and one evening, Hanoch suggested I write a column. The positive reader response has allowed me to continue writing, something I truly enjoy.
I consider myself a "tech geek," especially when it comes to cars. For over fifty years, I've followed the automotive industry closely. As a teenager, I was captivated by engine specs, horsepower, and speed. Later, my interest shifted to the technology beneath the hood, like fuel pumps and injection systems. Growing up in an analog world, I witnessed the transition from mechanical systems to computerized ones, a transformation that still amazes me.
My professional background in marketing and business development led me to explore the automotive industry's business side, which is filled with rivalries and collaborations. I've even written about the fascinating dynamics of manufacturers sharing production facilities.
Though I no longer work on cars or drive, my enthusiasm for the automotive world remains undiminished. I hope to share my passion through Agaloola, combining news with a touch of nostalgia.
The wheel, a fundamental invention, has shaped human history for millennia. From its early use in pottery to its role in modern vehicles, it has revolutionized transportation, agriculture, and warfare. The wheel’s impact on the development of trains, cars, and airplanes is undeniable. Today, it remains essential to our interconnected world.
I chose the name Agaloola (children's cart) because it evokes simplicity and possibility. I purchased the domain 15 years ago, drawn to its playful sound. Even a basic car opens up a world of experiences. On Agaloola, we'll primarily explore the wheel as the vehicle's connection to the road, while acknowledging its rich history. We'll leave the high-end cars to those with Rolex watches.
Drive safely.
Drive safely.
