Shahab Anisi

As an all time motorhead, Shahab entered Iran's small society of automotive journalism industry back in 2009 while studying English Translation in university. He has written for six major automobile industry-related magazines and websites, and used to be the editor in chief of three seasonal magazines and the presenter of a video series. Due to an active childhood, he soon learned all mechanical elements and functions of every part in an automobile and headed to perform DIY on personal and close by vehicles, from brake pad replacement to carburetor tune ups and engine upgrades, cylinder head swaps to gearbox upgrades. He soon became popular among Iranian automotive journalism as one of the most knowledgeable and technical journalists who is no foreigner to mechanical and maintenance tasks, especially when it comes to American vehicles. Shahab is probably the first and only Iranian journalist cooperating with American automobile websites from Iran. Shahab is an all-time classic car lover and Retro Design maniac but mostly digs the Detroit muscle of any kind; he was a true Mopar lover way before GMs and Fords. His family owns a 1977 Jeep SJ 258CI Cherokee Chief, 1990 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera S, and a Gen 3 1985 Iran-GM built Sedan Buick Skylark B3. He has spent more than 14 years with American vehicles, and yet nothing will ever replace a true American V8. He is looking for lifetime dream car — a 1970 yellow 426 Hemi Cuda with a 4 speed pistol grip shifter manual box.
