What I've noticed over the years going to the US nature places of attraction, such as national parks, is that people drive really boring cars there (like, their daily drivers), or rental cars. Makes it really hard to spot anything peculiar.
I've also noticed that, usually the road trip car is the family SUV or minivan or bland sedan, which is a shame. National parks are definitely better for plate spotting than car spotting

Yup - with the exception of a few american classics, some EV's and my favorites being those European drive-around-the-world expedition trucks. Most of it was relatively mundane. I am always amazed at how Ford, Chevy and GM are so much more prevalent than in Canada. It makes sense but still fascinating to see only 10 hours away from where I live.

I did manage to spot a handful of neat cars but I sort of set my goal on spotting all 50 states + DC realizing that my typical cup of tea wasn't going to be around!
That's honestly kind of how I got into plate spotting. VT's car scene is mediocre at best, so I needed something else car related to fill the void haha

Me too! When I went to university I realized that the parking lot was full of all sorts of interesting plates.
Funny enough my car (which is quite common where I live) was one of the sportiest cars I saw on the trip!
