"When I was a kid, I was really into cars. Not glamorous cars like Ferraris—I mean I memorized the model years of Fords and Nissans. Coincidentally, this came in handy one day when my family was in a hit-and-run car accident where the offending driver sped off before my parents could identify anything about the car. So I casually walked over to the police officer at the scene and told him the car was a white '93 Altima with a such-and-such license plate and a missing hubcap. They caught the guy the next day! (I was 5.)"

Awesome. When I was maybe just a little bit older, we too got rear ended. I still remember it was a 1980's toyota pickup but I didn't have the year. The 80-83's all looked the same. AT least to me.

I had the same ability at that age. I still do as a matter of fact.

So do I! Luckily, I haven't been in an accident that required the use of my super-powers :)
