A minor car addiction continues

In our current walks around the block, our progress is extremely slow. This is because Tam stops at every parked car to point, say "Dah" repeatedly, and make motor sounds. I began just telling him if the vehicle was a car, a truck, or a van. Then, I moved on to telling him the colors. He is doing really well at finding red cars, but not so much with any other colors. Since I am getting tired of just saying the colors, I am now telling him the makes of the cars too. I'm trying to guess them based just on the nifty symbols on the grill and I'm getting better. I wasn't sure if Tam was even paying attention to me until early this week.

Tam: "Dah!"
Me: "Yes, Tam, that's a car."
Tam: "Dah!", accompanied with pointing
Me: "Yes, that car is a black car."
Tam: "Dah!"
Me: "hmmm...I think that is a Volvo"
Tam: "Wo-Wo"
Me: "What? Did you just say Volvo?"
Tam: "Wo-Wo!"
Me: "Yah, Tam!"

Now, understand that Tam is making this "wo-wo" sound by hitting is hand against his mouth.
Very silly. And it isn't like we see a ton of Volvos so that I'm repeating this word many times to him.
Sheesh.
