// In a story board-based application, you will often want to do a little preparation before navigation

- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender

{

    // Get the new view controller using [segue destinationViewController].

    // Pass the selected object to the new view controller.

    if ([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:@"ShowCarDetails"])

    {

        CarDetailViewController *detailViewController =

        [segue destinationViewController];

        

        NSIndexPath *myIndexPath = [self.tableView

                                    indexPathForSelectedRow];

        

        long row = [myIndexPath row];

        

        detailViewController.carDetailModel = @[_carMakes[row],
