The only car I own and also the only car I have ever owned. Yes, the model number on the badge is fake (I did it as a joke) and some may find some of the body modifications a little tacky, but I like it and it's done me very well. It's fine for a not so rich 23 year old like myself!

Doesn't the license plate indicate the country?
Not anymore in Europe, im right saying that not in any country Europe nowadays, no? well at least not in Spain since 2000.
you mean regions inside countries? Most of the EU plate have the blue "euroband" on the left to indicate the country, and often the letter/number style can also help. Some other had different plate style, like Belgium or UK.

@CCF: No, this is not correct. In the past a plenty of European countries, except the Netherlands and Luxemburg -Belgium, too??- (and Sweden since 1973) had plates, where you could see, where the car was coming from.
In Germany it's still usual. There are some exceptions for government-cars, but the first letters (one, two or three) are showing the town or county, where the car is coming from.
Denmark's system is more complicated. There is shown the area, also the type of car in the number-code.
In Britain -except personalized plates- you could see the area, too (I think, the last two letters of the group with three letters), in the past also the year of first registration was to see.
Austrian and Swiss plates are showing the towns (Austria except the new pesonalized plates) or countries (Switzerland).
In Turkey the group of two numbers is showing the town, beginning alphabetic with 01 for Adana (Istanbul has 34).

Isnt that what i just said?
you said "Not anymore in Europe": but there are lots of European countries where it is still true.
In France the last two digits indicate the department, indeed, but this will change soon.
In Belgium as the plates are smaller than Euro-plates (nearly same width as US plates), they are fixed on a support which also often carry the address of the garage were the car is serviced. So using that info you know from where the car is

My college-student neighbor who lives down the street from me has a Saturn exactly like that one. Same color, generation, bodystyle, trim level, everything. It's a SC2 from about 2001 if I'm not mistaken? Nice how it has plastic body panels, I've always liked that



















mmmmm a Cadillac Eldorado with plates from there would be
