I have something very similar, but I know that I didn't hear the story from anyone. I would have been under 27 months because my brother wasn't alive. In my early 20's I asked my mother when we had a brown honda, and she replied that we never did. I said I was sure that we did because I remember being in a brown Honda, driving on the highway and that we got a flat tire, and the police came, and that there were Palm trees. The part that didn't make sense is that I thought we were going to Alberta beach(in Alberta) and there are clearly no palm trees there. After talking about it for a while and giving some more details of my memory, we figured out that it was a trip to hawaii that we did before my brother was born and that the brown honda was a rental car.
- oh_sigh 10y agoHow would you know the car was a honda at that point?
- soperj 10y agoI don't know that I knew that it was a honda at that point, I remember the shape of the car and it looked like an early 80s honda accord in my mind. That being said, my 2 year old kid can tell what kind of car it is by the symbol on the front.
- rhizome 10y agoI have a similar story where I remembered being small and our family having a white landboat, like Ford Galaxie sized, which my mom didn't remember. I thought I dreamed it until I digitized my dad's Super-8 movies and found some frames shot in our front yard where a car just like I remembered was sitting in our driveway. Now, I'm not sure what its provenance was, and my mom still didn't really remember, it could have been a neighbor's car that we borrowed once or I otherwise rode in (my memory was of a hot vinyl rear seat) but I had proof of my memory at last.
