You guys joke, but when I worked at the parts store, there were plenty of folks that had no idea what they drove. It wasn't uncommon to have to go out and look at their vehicle to figure it out. They probably knew the year, the color, how many doors, sometimes the make and if you were really lucky, the number of cylinders.

I've been told that a guy had a "Mercury Grand Prix Pontiac Marquis". I've been told "19xx Ford Van, blue." Toyota 4 cyl. etc....

I had a younger guy get really pissed once when trying to buy brake pads for a toyota corolla.
It's a 4cyl.
Yes, sir, but that year of that car could come with either a 1.2L or a 1.6L, and they took different brake pads. What size is the 4 cyl?
Just give me my damn brakes. It's your job to know what size engine my car has.
