2-Year-Old Walker Ciorobea Can Name Every Model of Car

Walker Ciorobea, a car-obsessed toddler from South Florida, can identify every type of car model he sees.

If you meet Walker Ciorobea, a 2-year-old boy from Coral Gables, Florida, the very first thing he’ll ask you is what kind of car you drive.

The toddler’s had a passion for cars for more than a year, ever since the day his father brought home a single matchbox car for Walker to play with.

“It started with one matchbox car, and it’s just grown into a huge obsession,” Lynley Ciorobea, Walker’s mother, told Gimundo. “He started to learn a few cars, and within a week or two, he could name every car on the road.”

Walker’s father is a car enthusiast, and often brings home magazines about cars—which came in handy while Walker was potty-training. “My husband would sit Walker on the potty and they’d look through the magazines together, waiting for Walker to pee,” Lynley said. “So they’d try to find cars in the magazines that our friends drove. So they’d find a Saturn and my husband would say “This is what mommy drives!” and then they’d look for Saab and say “This is what daddy drives!” Before we knew it, he was pointing all our various cars out on the road.”

Even though Walker can’t read yet, his parents have gotten him his very own subscription to Car and Driver Magazine, which he loves to leaf through. “So now he knows every car you can imagine,” said Lynley, “including some super fancy cars that you never see on the road,” such as Aston Martins and Lamborghinis.

Walker can now identify any car he spots on the road—though his pronunciation isn’t always quite on the mark. “He’s not good with ‘r’s, so for example when he sees a Porsche, he calls it a ‘Posh.’ And when he sees a Ford, he’ll call it ‘Fod,’” said Lynley.

“It’s so cute and quite hilarious to see such a little guy who can hardly speak naming every car he sees!”
