Needs the doors taken off. Too much weight to lug around, you burn too much gas.
...isn’t Jeep, doesn’t understand.

Does that red border around the plate mean something? Some kind of temporary plate?

Yes, it’s an interchangeable license plate reserved for garages... It’s kind of the holy grail of license plates here lol. You can put it on any car, even if it’s unregistered and drive that car legally. It takes years of owning a garage to get one... It exists so that garages can test cars BEFORE getting a normal license plate for their customers.

It’s probably the slowest car I have ever driven though! Keep in mind I own a mini that does 0 to 60 in 23s...
This one doesn’t even do 0 to 60... top speed is 50mph.

I’m so much happier for it now! I bet it can get through a proper mud slog faster than a Jeep though!

Oh! We have the same kind here too. Only companies can obtain these but rather surprisingly they aren’t very expensive even though those also cover the mandatory insurance. Even though garages have these the main user group is car dealerships.
They look like this.

They are cheap here too, but a garage won’t get until it’s been opened for something like 6 or 7 years before it’s given one... It needs to show it works well, is trust worthy and then it can get one...

Interesting. Here a company applies for those and if the reasons to have the plates are considered being reasonable then the plates are granted. And they have to applied for each year. So even a new company could get those if they work with vehicles.
Someday I will have my own small business for making suspension parts. Reason for this is that legally I cannot make my own suspension parts as they have to be “factory made”. My gragae will be my own small factory. The second good point is of course the “test plates” that can be granted to a company making automotive related R&D.

Hum... could be... I haven’t looked that much into it. All I know is that it is carburated and NA.
