Some states allow you to operate, or take the vehicle to get 
registered  without any plate on it.  Did this when I lived in Kansas.  In  
general, I'd say that the east is more strict & rigid than the  west.

Until you get to California - If it touches the street, it better be  
licensed. They will give you, excuse me, sell you, a one-day moving permit,  to move 
it to a smog shop or whatever - and the new DMV computers can now  instantly 
check whether it is insured as well (and the police have access). The  DMV 
speaks of voiding the registration of a car which doesn't have current  insurance. 
Of course, I believe that a towed vehicle is covered under the  insurance of 
the towing vehicle. So I believe you can flat tow a vehicle which  has had 
registration paid, even if insurance is not current. I hope a judge  doesn't have 
to explain it to me, someday, why that logic is wrong. -  Seth
