If the owner is a US military officer posted to NATO headquarters in Brussels, the Pentagon will pay the shipping costs.
But wouldn't get it in this case, a special license-plate? Usually US-soldiers in Europe are getting extra plates for their private cars.
So I think, that this Neon belongs rather to an US-tourist.
@Gag: the British soldiers not, am I right? If I see the privae cars of soldiers of the British Rhine Army, they still have their British plates.
When the IRA-terrorism was increasing in the 70ies, one time they had changed the plates of the Army-school buses, from the black British Army-plates to regular German ones. But this was a helpless try, because everyone could see, that these Leyland-buses are pure British and never used in Germany. The LHD-steering wheeels hadn't helped either.
It's similar with the plates of the GI's private cars. For a long time they had US-sized plates, white with black letters and US-letter-combinations. Since ca.8 years it was changed to German style-plates. Not really helpful either, because at first they have their own combinations (HK-, IF-, AD-, AF-) and as second, you can identify the GI's very easy, when they use their US-cars or US-spec cars, cas, which were never regulary on our market.
Well thought, but failed.
