MA also doesn't recognize temp plates from ANY state. When I bought
Hammie I was going to get NJ temp plates to drive home on but my
insurance company wouldn't insure me. I checked with the state and
sure enough they're illegal. I asked about other states and
technically speaking the state do
es so I guess thats
something they don't really enforce.

In OK and many other states Im sure if you buy insurance on a car
then cancel it within 6 months or so, the state will suspend your
license.
Well, we do this every few months or so when we switch our
active set of cars around.

Not if you have a bill of sale.

The problem with getting the insurance ahead of time is that if you show
up and the car is a POS and you dont buy it, then you have to cancel the
insurance. In OK and many other states Im sure if you buy insurance on a

Here in WA, plates stay with the car. (Unless 'special', like vanity
plates or WW2 veterans, etc.)

It's currently in WA. Michigan, where I used to live, required the
seller to pull the
Tell us where the car is currently. If the car is purchased here in
WA, unless they're vanity plates, they'll stay with the car. Other

Is it necessary to have a temporary permit to drive a newly-purchased
car home, in WA? In MI, where I used to live, it's legal to drive
without a plate to the "first place of storage," but I can't find any
info on whether that's legal here.
When in doubt, follow the money. WA sells temporary p
A Trip Permit is required but is good only in the State of WA. Other
States issue a permit that is valid in all States. I was advised to
stop in OR and obtain another permit as I headed South to CA.
At least that is the way it was 4 years ago.
WA always needs to be a little different.

If you drive anything in WA that isn't the way they want it, be prepared
to be pulled over and have your entire life gone through. Not worth it,
get whatever transit goodies that you need to be legal and they'll most
likely leave you alone.

get pulled over just show the cop your bill of sale.

AFAIK, you can never drive here in WA without either some visible
plates or a temp permit. You must also be able to provide proof of
insurance should you be pulled over.
