I’m pretty good at that and I don’t know why. I guess I just passively pay a lot of attention to car makes/models for some reason.
It has been becoming harder, though.
Not only are most cars looking alike nowadays, but manufacturers are also mostly not putting model name badges on their cars any more... :-(
Except for the models where they put the name in huge indented letters on the tailgate of hatch like the M A V E R I C K.
But that's still nothing compared to the huge alphanumeric designators of the olden days:
"Ford Fiesta 1.6 GTI LS 4x4 Sunny Hedgehog Edition"
That didn't even match the designation! I got an "xle" car and was curious what's it meant. You ready for this bullshit? Executive luxury edition! It's the fucking base model! The top end model is called the touring. Like in what world does that make sense‽
