I've said it before in MA you'd be stopped and go directly to jail... In fact I suspect that would be true for any New England state except maybe Vermont.
I notice in California alot of cars driving around with a paper plate with a dealer's name and nothing else.... I dunno if thats legal or not but I see it frequently. -Curt Date: Tue, 24 Jun 2008 14:53:53 -0500 From: John Robbins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Buying and moving a truck.

I drove the '92 2.5T from Ohio with no plate at all, and was even pulled over in MS for it. Since I bought the car 1 day before I was pulled over I was still within the legal time frame for licensing the vehicle. In MS its less than a week, but some states it is longer. This could very well be totally different for trucks. HTH!!
