This was a purchase from the store, not from the auction. I didn't see
any shipping info when I ordered it; (which doesn't mean it wasn't there, of
course.) The sellers website doesn't give any information on shipping;
(probably not until an order is placed.) I've left a message for them on
Kansas and Missouri issues the tags to the persons instead of the cars?
That way an individual could drive several different cars using one tag. In
order to do that in most states, you would have to have a dealers tag AFAIK.

Alfa Romeo Spyder. No problem, I figured to just push start it and make
sure I stopped on hills. Did fine until I filled up in N. GA. As I popped

Usually you can get a temporary tag from where you buy
the car by explaining to them that you want to
register the car in a different state but want
something to transport the car legally. You will need
the title signed over to your name and insurance proof
for the car.

ON is a good start. What settings do you have to worry about?
12V automatic shutoff (if you have it) is all you usually need to
select. Some have a low rate that is good for motorcycle and
other smaller batteries, but the
Since I've last driven it, it seems to have developed a low rpm
