Do you folks have repair plates? Around here the garages usually have a
repair plate that can be used to
transport a vehicle to the garage. The garage will usually lend you the plate
in order to get the vehicle in.
Some places also will sell you a one day permit to move a vehicle. I know you
In Arizona, we can pull and print a 3 day pass, on line, for a dollar, that
allows us to drive or tow the vehicle with defunct plates. Perhaps NY has a
similar program.
We have a wonderful on line DMV that allows registration renewals, with the
emissions tester posting passing results

Looks like probably $46 for the year even if I
Most states won't allow anything to be towed with wheels on the ground
without tags. On a trailer , you're OK . In NY I bet it's cheaper to
rent a trailer than to call a tow truck ( after an experience with NY
