Subject: Out-of-State Car Transport

[Mark R]

Larry,
NY temp tags aren't valid for importing a car to NY... only exporting or
in-state transfers.  And you still have to show proof of insurance AND
ownership.   It's basically an option for exporting a car when moving or a
cheaper alternative to full registration.

Yeah, it's "kooky."
