I am almost certain this is the wrong section, and apology for that. There is a very large cruise function this week and weekend here in MI called Woodward Dream Cruise. I'm trying to decipher the legality of having passengers in the cargo bed area of my 925 and WildChild467's M35A2 for it. From what I see in the ordinance, I can't tell if "Military Vehicle" means a vehicle type, or if it means vehicle (currently) owned and used by the military. We have some legal beagles who are very good at deciphering, and I really appreciate their input. Thanks in advance. Keyboard still messed up. Looks like I am 3 years old. Apology again if covered before.
