RE: Registering Car in NM

Oh, boy. I wonder whose laws apply, those of your home state or those of
the state thru which you find yourself passing? I would guess your home
state. I was legally registered in MA in my new CQ with the plates off
of my 90, for the first four days, anyway. How does reciprocity work?
