Getting Started Contributor Zone ». Edit page. In every episode, the 6ft 2, bandana-sporting biker acquires, restores and customises classic cars and motorcycles. Danny fell in love with automobiles during his early years in Michigan and Ohio, where his father worked as an executive for the Ford Motor Company.
He credits his dad for igniting his burning, lifelong passion when he gave him his first motorcycle at only eight years old. Having since become the sole proprietor, Danny himself frequently performs there with his band Count 77, growling through covers from the likes of Black Sabbath and The Doors.
Using a patchy Eastern European accent copied from his immigrant grandparents, he introduced classic horror movies as a vampire Elvis, decked out in cape, aviators and sipping from a goblet of blood.
The family was keen on creating a business empire and bought Channel 33, a Las Vegas television station. The station is where Danny began his TV career in Interesting facts about the Power star Jerry Ferrara. The car enthusiast owns 58 cars and more than 70 motorcycles whose combined value is quite a sum. His dream car is Lamborghini Miura SV which he came close to owning years ago. However, he is yet to lay his hands on his dream vehicle.
He says he is not in a hurry to get the car even though it becomes more expensive every passing year. The reality show star was quoted saying how he is addicted to owing cars. I need an intervention. He continues to search for that model but will have to hurry, as the car gets rarer and more expensive every year. We do everything we can to keep it real. Kevin Met Danny 23 years ago while riding motorcycles.
Mack stated that 15 guys would ride together to Southern California, Arizona, and other places in the country. When Koker faced a tremendous amount of pressure to deliver a high-quality service 11 years ago, he hired Mack to help him manage the shop. Considering that business has increased since the show aired, Danny keeps busy by meeting the great demand from customers. He has a solid work ethic and insists on only high-quality output from Count's Kustoms.
Danny has a staff of about 50 people working on 15 projects simultaneously. With so much activity in the shop, Danny demands that the show's producers capture every movement. Drivers have become conscious of the environment and do not want to contribute to global warming. One of the ways that drivers are supporting the longevity of Earth is by demanding that car manufacturers produce environment-friendly cars.
Some car enthusiasts are more concerned about the performance of a vehicle than its capability to benefit the environment. In an interview with The Morning Show, Koker said that he has no use for environment-friendly cars like the Toyota Prius due to the lackluster performance of the vehicle.
A family is more important than business. Nobody knows that better than Koker. One of the most influential people in Danny's life was his father, whom he describes as his best friend and a business partner. If I sit idle, I'll go to bad places in my brain. One of the main differences between Counting Cars and other car shows is that the host bids on cars that he would like to own. Considering Koker is an avid car collector, he finds it difficult to decline an opportunity to acquire a beautiful car.
Although the show's success has rewarded Koker financially, it has also impeded him from getting bargains when purchasing cars. Car owners who negotiate with Koker are aware that the show generously remunerates him for his efforts and are unwilling to give him good deals. Koker said that most people whom he negotiates with recognize him and hold onto their rides until they get the price they want out of him.
When you surround yourselves in high-end circles as Koker does, you are bound to find a rotten apple in the batch. Besides achieving worldwide fame, one of the things that Neil has gotten right is living up to the bad boy persona. Neil has been arrested for abuse against women several times.
