@Max: yes, a 2008 Town & Country. I've said "popemobil" to it ("urbi et orbi") 
and have thought "It could be Big Dave's car, our forum-Vaticanist". 
@Raul: have you thought about autodriveaway? I've made this in 1993. The company has offices in bigger towns, where the customers bring cars which shall be delivered to annother town in the US or sometimes Canada. It costs nothing, the driver has just the fuel to pay. And a deposit (15 years ago 250 $), which will be given back, when you've delivered the car to its destination (clean and with full tank).
Within 20 days I drove over there:
- Denver/CO to Cape Girardeau/MO (Ford Explorer)
- St.Louis/MO to Houston/TX (Ford Taurus)
- Houston/TX to Sacramento/CA (Dodge Caravan)
- San Francisco to St.Paul/MN (a Buick 6cyl, the model under the Park Avenue)
- ST.Paul/MN to Philadelphia/PA (1985 Pontiac Sunbird
The autodriveaway-guys weren't not amused, that I drove from San Diego to San Francisco on the legendary Highway 1. But then they said "Ah, you're a German, then it's o.k. US-drivers cannot handle this curvy street."
And they prefer European, mainly German drivers, because they can handle stick-shift-cars.
Forbidden areas were also Mexico, Las Vegas and the Yosemite N.P.
O.k., I was mainly on the road, but I've seen very different landscapes. Sure, if you liked an town or area very much, you have to come back in a later vacations.
Two friends of mine have made in 1992 a 3-month-USA-trip. For that they bought a car, which they've sold at the last day again. They liked the classis US-cars, so they bought a 1978 Oldsmobile Delta.
Both are extreme "Blues Brothers"-fans, so they made a trip to all locations of that movie. Except the old house of the nun they'd found all of them. Only for the "Palace Hotel Ballroom" of the show-scene they hadn't enough time.
