Yes it has a license plate; the week involves around a thousand miles of road travel - plus the odd 200 MPH blast or 2.

200 MPH LS swapped 245 Swedish Poster Boy
I mentioned this car before, still a brain-numbing thought that a Brick could get into the 6's in a 1/4 mile run.

That is very impressive. Cubic dollars and boat loads of effort.
Interesting observations:
Commuting is done with the hood on the roof rack. Too much heat under the hood?
Lots of rear wheel well modification for the big tires. See welds inside rear door.
Turbo air intake through the left side of bumper.
Turbo exhaust out the left side in front of front tire.
Also does trailer towing during commutes.
