Shrimps cant see extra colors though. They are just too dumb to mix basic colors in their brain, instead just evolved extra color receptors

I'm more discerning regarding the model of my first car, or similar models. Got used to finding that car in a parking lot, etc.

Sedan? Yeah no. Brown car. Saying sedan makes you sound like some kind of car expert.

Do you know why a chicken coop has two doors? If it had four, it'd be a chicken sedan

I used to be like that back in highschool/college when I was more into cars. It was fun being able to find the small details of the car to single out which year model it was and stuff like that.

Now, I don't have the time or interested to do that any more.

I used to be able to detect a 90s Chrysler/Dodge engine by their sound. It was very distinctive across the whole range.

Not a lot of those survived. Their transmissions sucked ass. I don't think I could do it anymore.

When I used to watch commercials^1^, this shit would just register itself in my brain, lurking silently for when/if it comes up. I'm not even a "car guy" by any stretch of the imagination, and credit this mostly to the insidious and brain-worm-like quality of car advertising. For a while there, I could identify most cars just by seeing the shape and position of the headlamps at night. It is/was the most useless superpower, and I'm still a little spooked that one can be low-key programmed like this.

I suppose it's possible to come by this while racking up commuter hours, since the make/model is usually right there on the back of most cars, but that doesn't explain the headlamp thing.

^1^ - I will leave it as an exercise to the reader as to how one might dispose of most advertising when watching shows.

If it's trains or planes on the other hand...
