Re: converting from private to commercial
Both vehicles look much like the small commercial vehicles that I saw in
Spain, that are a sort of mini-pickup with a bed topper that is actually a
part of the body, or something like the old panel trucks that you used to
see around here, only smaller.
I would be surprised if Nichollette got her "commercial use" permit without
having a bona fide commercial use for the vehicle, but I suppose it is worth
a try. One of reasons to buy a Jeep in Europe is the "look at me, I can
afford a Jeep" factor, which is ruined when the windows are covered with
sheet metal and the rear seats taken out. They are a lot more impressed
with Jeeps than we are over here.

Both vehicles look much like the small commercial vehicles that I saw in
Spain, that are a sort of mini-pickup with a bed topper that is actually a
part of the body, or something like the old panel trucks that you used to
see around here, only smaller.
I would be surprised if Nichollette got her "commercial use" permit without
having a bona fide commercial use for the vehicle, but I suppose it is worth
a try. One of reasons to buy a Jeep in Europe is the "look at me, I can
afford a Jeep" factor, which is ruined when the windows are covered with
sheet metal and the rear seats taken out. They are a lot more impressed

Both vehicles look much like the small commercial vehicles that I saw in
Spain, that are a sort of mini-pickup with a bed topper that is actually a
part of the body, or something like the old panel trucks that you used to
see around here, only smaller.
I would be surprised if Nichollette got her "commercial use" permit without
having a bona fide commercial use for the vehicle, but I suppose it is worth
a try. One of reasons to buy a Jeep in Europe is the "look at me, I can
afford a Jeep" factor, which is ruined when the windows are covered with
sheet metal and the rear seats taken out. They are a lot more impressed
with Jeeps than we are over here.
