Asks which car, or gives both and names them. Today's tool cannot tell that Leah drives the Outback.

Traps it covers

two_of_a_kind "My car" is the Outback (Leah drives it), but the lookup tool cannot tell today.

not_saved The Civic has no insurance policy saved. Why: Marcus insures his own car with Granite Fork, the company the Outback left in 2024. It renews each January, the card is in his glovebox, and Leah has been asking him for the details since November 2025. The account holds only her open reminder and one line in a 2024 note. The car is insured; the account cannot show it.
