Most gearheads pride themselves on spotting a car from a mile away.
Mike can identify one without seeing it at all.
The New Mexico resident has gone viral on TikTok after showing people that he can correctly identify cars simply by feeling them with his hands.
And his accuracy has left millions of viewers stunned.
His Love For Cars Started Early
Mike says that he grew up in a family that loved cars.
That early exposure helped him build an obsession with vehicles from a young age.
He said he would often touch family members’ cars and memorize specific details.
Over time, he built what he describes as a mental library of vehicle shapes, body panels, fenders, doors, and styling cues.
TikTok Turned Him Into A Viral Star
Mike and his wife Jenn began posting videos on TikTok through their account, Blind Hound Farms.
Their videos typically show Mike approaching strangers and asking if he can identify their car.
He then walks around the vehicle, feeling the bodywork before making his guess.
Many times, he nails the make and model within seconds.
Older Cars Are Easier For Him To Recognize

Mike says classic cars are often easier to identify.
Vehicles like the 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air instantly stand out to him.
He also mentioned classic Chevrolet Chevelle SS models, Pontiac GTO models, and older Chevrolet Corvette generations as some of his favorites.
Newer vehicles can be trickier because many modern designs feel similar.
He specifically said the latest Corvette is one of the hardest cars for him to identify.
His Story Is Bigger Than Cars
Mike says his content carries a simple message.
Being blind doesn’t mean you can’t pursue unusual passions.
He hopes his videos show people that limitations don’t have to define what you love.
Judging by his growing audience, plenty of people are inspired by what he’s doing.
