Road trip is one letter away from rad trip

I pause in my blitzing of Americana to blitz your eyeballs:











And by special request:






Rad trip is "pirt dar" backwards, which is spoonerized to "dirt par". Dirt par obviously is how many shots it would take to get a golf ball into the hole were all the grass removed, which is way higher than a normal par. If you take "a normal par" and shift the last word to the first and remove the spaces, you get "paranormal", which is the study of things outside of the ordinary. However, what we are doing on our road trip is a study of the very ordinary, the things that make peoples' day to day lives be what they are.
