My wife thinks they all look the same

She is not racist because they are white. She just thinks there's no difference in how they look, even though I explain how to look at the features.

We bought a new (previously owned) Honda CR-V. Twice now my wife has tried to get in the wrong car, scaring the occupant. One was a Rav-4 and the other a Jeep. Trying to teach her to look at the front grill.

Only to realize it wasn't my car when I noticed it was an automatic transmission, mine was a standard. The only other difference, besides the owner, was the last digit on the license plate! The key worked! I met the owner when I went to party a few weeks later, all the folks at the party thought is was a story of interest.

mr. Dixie came to pick me up from a hospital procedure, they said no way could I drive myself.

receptionist said my husband had pulled up, so I went out to the car and stuck my head in, then looked up
to the startled face of a very nice older black gentleman, I said " Wait a minute..you're not my husband"
and he laughed and said "No Ma;am, I am not"
To make it worse, Mr. Dixie was in the car behind him, and HE was laughing as well,

In my defense, the cars were same color, age and looked very similar in the shaded portico.
