Out-of-State Car Transport

[Andrew Duane]

I live in NH, and bought my last A6 in PA. I just picked up my temp
plates at town hall and flew out to PA with them, put them on the car,
and drove back. Most states have some kind of 20-day temp plate, MA is a
notable exception I think. The buyer in NY should be able to figure this
out.
