Once acquired, you can request the delivery of the Kalahari from the Mechanic.

Kalahari Description:

Is it a truck? Is it a golf cart? Is it a bathtub on wheels? It's whatever you want it to be. The Kalahari is a super-lightweight off-road utility vehicle used by the French army, which possibly explains why they're always so late to everything.
