Subject: Out-of-State Car Transport

[Taka Mizutani]

Actually Larry, that doesn't make sense. The seller of your car gave you a
NJ transit tag when you bought your car. You have to get a transit tag from
the state where you buy the car, not where you ultimately register the car.
That's the cheesy paper thing that you stick in the window, with the
dealer's signature and license # on it.

If you're just going to get a tag from your home state, you might as well
just register it and be done with it, although that requires the title or CO
as well as the MV-2 (for PA, equiv. for other states) and insurance.
