    If the person is unlucky, I am firehose mode…

    I tend to accumulate seemingly random know-how and info but it is all easily traced back to interests and projects. (Assuming i can remember where I learned it …)

    “How do you know this tailgate comes from a 1987-1991 Jeep Grand Wagoneer and why?”

      My wife is still amazed that I know the make and model of every car by the headlight’s light beams from the view mirror. My knowledge goes back to the mid 80s.

        I’m in a bit of a similar situation. I like to get mad at people who drive witg their lights off when it’s raining and I’ve memorized which cars have their tail lights off when the daytime running lights are on so I know which ones to flash my highbeams at and which ones can be seen by people behind them.
