Every time someone asks me the make and model, I give a puzzled look (slrpnk.net)

I remember as a kid, I was mystified by this other girl on the block who could do this. I didn't understand why anyone would care. A car is a car?

Eventually I realized it's because she was super into external social status signs. She wasn't a gearhead, so she hadn't picked it up the way guys do bonding over technical stats of whatever, but she was hyper-sensitive to social status, so she picked it up along with anything else related to fashion. And cars can be considered fashion, right up there with makeup and having the right purse.

As a shrimp-type person, I hadn't realized that some people dummy recognize make/model

Yeah I can only remember fun cars that you see in games like Caymans, Camaros, etc. My mind has no space for the shitboxes we have.
