Usually my response was, "I don't know".
I can recognize what a Honda is because I have driven one. And I know what a minivan is because I have driven one of those. I know that Hundais are cheep cars. Mercedes are expensive. Above that I'm pretty much clueless. Poor girl asking the least knowledgeable person about cars. And we didn't do much driving with evan in the car, so she couldn't learn much from him.
This last weekend we took a road trip to my parents. We were in the car for several hours and taneal was in the front seat keeping evan awake while I was in the back with the little kids trying to keep them happy. Taneal and Evan got to talking about cars and Evan asked her if she could name any car on the road. Taneal confidently said she was pretty sure she knew the maker of any car on the road. And so she immediately started naming all the cars coming and going down the interstate for a good 5 minutes.
Evan's response, "wow. You really do know your cars".
She got them all correct.
Go Taneal.
Funny how when they find an interest in something how suddenly their capacity to learn increases. She took my little piddly knowledge of cars and flew with it.

Where did she learn all that? My knowledge is about as good as yours - Fords are cheap and BMW's are expensive? Between the two of us and years of car experience we can name four different brands, at that rate we need only .... a lot more moms.
