I've been trying to learn make & models of cars while biking. The first thing was to learn the logos. I picked those up fairly quickly. There were a few weird ones, but I've got those sorted out now, I think. Now I'm working on the models, that's harder because it requires a little more reading, and there are SO many. There are maybe 15 makes (logos). I say the name aloud so my bike ride sounds like this: "Ford, Ford, Toyota, Chevy, Toyota, Toyota, Honda, Ford, Toyota, Subaru!" (With background accompaniment of jingling from the jingle bell on my handlebar.)

Subaru is my favorite logo. I like the stars.

The reason for this is, although I can usually get the plate number, it would be a really good skill to be able to identify a car's make & model by its shape. Even if it is just a honk I start reciting the license plate number to myself, in case something else happens, until I get home, the car is long gone, or another car brings itself to my attention.

But a license plate number is difficult to remember and sometimes you just can't see it all. The plate number is more important to get, but if I could easily know the make & model, that would help a lot.

And it's a fun game to play. The problem is, it is hard to stop! Now I'm doing it when I'm biking, walking, or driving. There are far fewer cars that you can see logo & name, when you are driving. I'm getting pretty familiar with the rear ends of vehicles!
