Here's a little video I shot of my 2-year old today. He has a bunch more cars, but this was all we could find at the moment.
I think "proud" is the answer to my question.

He's quick! Good work Dad
That's cool!
kewl... but I think the best part of that is the STACK of GRM's on the shelf in the background lol... also makes me sad that my kids have very limited hard surfaces in the house for matchbox cars :( that was one of the most fun things growing up... shooting them down the tile in the hall and playing "crash em"
My wife just threatened to slap me because of you. Thanks. 
He actually argued with my wife about the DS the other day. At first glance, she thought it was a Porsche or something and he kept correcting her, "no mommy, it's a Citroen!"...
He. Is. Awesome!!!
I would say you should be proud, but it is clear you already are.

Proud. I always enjoy that my girls can ID quite a few cars, and not just pokemon and monster high characters.
that was great. you should win an award for that.
Proud, no doubt about it. Thanks for posting that.
That reminded me of standing beside my dad on his then new 53 Chevy pickup naming cars. That's right, standing on the seat. My restraint was holding onto the bar at the top of the seat with both hands. And of course in a rapid stop my dad's arm swinging over to catch me.
the DS was probably my favorite call, other than the Caterham. I have something to aspire to.
Our boys should play, they're on the same level. Has your boy been doing badge IDing on the street too? My boy loves that.
Awesome job.
Thanks. He can pick out some really easily recognizable badges like BMW, Ford, and he can spot Subarus from a mile away...
Very nice.
Reminds me, my kid tried to do an Evil Kenevil off the stairs in his push car, got a fractured wrist and being so young it was a full arm cast. It was definitely covered in as many badges as I could draw. It started with "Daddy's Duboo" VW badge and he kept telling me to draw more.
Awesome.
I was told that when I was little (around 3 or 4) when riding in the car I would just sit and look out the window spout of makes and models of cars as they drove by.
I still play that game now in my head, but with headlights/taillights at night.

Hell yeah, glad Im not the only one with that sickness lol...every couple of years though, I find myself stumped for a few weeks when they re-make the front end of the camry or whatever...keeps it interesting!
That is awesome. I wouldn't get too worried about it, just make sure he lives someplace with lots of room outside for all of the "projects".
When my oldest was about 3 he and my wife were coming out of a store and Ian said "Look Mommy a Cadillac". My wife looked over and there was an older lady putting packages in the trunk of her car. The lady heard what Ian said and turned around to see how little he was and could not believe that he knew what kind of car she had. Since the trunk was open he could not see any of the crests on the car but still knew what it was.
Good times.

It must be a genetic thing... My first word was "Mazda".
One of my earliest memories is of not liking the aerodynamics of a Matchbox F1 car (this would have been the mid-'70s and I was annoyed by the intake jutting up).
Sharp kid, just make sure he learns how to interact with people who aren't cars

Hahaha, good point. He does know all of his ABCs and can count to about 14 on his own -- just so you know that I'm not a totally negligent parent (or at least that my wife has the capability to help him overcome my part of his genes).
