I'm in my 50s and probably should know all that. I don't drive and that probably explains a lot of my cluelessness.
I use to pump gas for my mom, and I love the smell of gas, but that is my full extent of putting any kind of liquid into a car, and my only knowledge of gas stations.
I watch NASCAR and still could not tell you one car maker from another. When someone asks me, "What kind of car was it?", I usually tell them what color it was because I seriously have no clue. I don't look at things like that.
I fully admit that there are two things in life (probably are more, but I haven't found them yet) that I am totally clueless about and I have no desire to acquire the knowledge: vehicles and politics.
Cute story about the SO.
I do drive, but I'm also clueless about cars. Most of them look the same to me. People will say, "Hey, is so-and-so home, did you see his car in front of his house?" And I'm thinking "How am I supposed to remember what so-and-so's car looks like?" I try to remember car colors, too, but I'm better off learning what a person's license plate is. Then I know it's their car for sure.
Some people DO look at cars. My friend's son was only a kid and he remembered everyone's cars, and I saw a TV show on Investigation Discovery where the guy who was kidnapping young boys was caught because a kid who was fascinated with vehicles happened to remember seeing a white truck on a certain street at a certain time of day.
Same here. Every day, on every forum, in emails from educated people. I don't get it...
And the sad part is that eventually it will be considered standard.
