When I picked up my S350 from Memphis the seller was perplexed why I was so
anal about getting a proper temp tag. Things are just different down there. If
the cops see a car around here (Ohio) without proper tags there is a 100%
chance you will get pulled over. If the cop that saw you is busy
The fact that the police wrote a ticket (revenue) AND made the connection to
the towing/shipping company (revenue for both) leads me to suspect that the
law was written by lobbyists to add money to appropriate pockets.

This the predicament I faced.
Granted, PA did offer temporary tags which I could have purchased on the spot
for something like $90, but chose not to, as I would only need them for two
days. This was Saturday and Monday I would title and tag the car in Florida.
It was a calculated risk, but

I've never actually tried that with a private sale but when we bought the
Ranger they (the dealer) took the plates off the Dakota and put them on the
Ranger. That was on Saturday, on Tuesday (Monday was a holiday I think) they

Remember when the Catholic Church used to sell indulgences?
In Jerkski, they're called PBA cards:
Washington state allows you to use plates that were contemporary to the model
year of the vehicle. If you have a 1963 Ford P/U, you can tag it with 1963
truck plates as a classic car. No need for anything other than the plate. Of
