A Weasel is most definitely a truck. No mention of wheels. Sorry if this
doesn't fit your "mental image" of a truck.

You definitely have a problem then. And I am puzzled as to what the problem
is then. If you can't drive it on the roads, you can't get it registered.
If it isn't registered, it can't be driven right? (What is the liability
risk of your vehicle just sitting?) That leaves only off-road use or use on
your own property. Doesn't your home-owners policy cover this?

I'm just trying to help you out here. If you don't like my definition, then
you can ignore it. I'm certainly not a lawyer in insurance claims area.
Just an average Joe who has battled the DMV before. If your state does not
allow you to drive it, I fail to see the problem here. Sounds like you have
an expensive lawn ornament....
