Meh, my friend rode around on his tags from his old truck on his Si, and when he got pulled he pulled into a 7-11 they couldnt tow his shit. Private property. But they didnt take him to jail either. So IDK what you talking about.

One last Question

What about Farm Use Tags? It requires registration and it can only travel on the highway for a few things (Repair is mine). any one think I'll get away with a celica as "farm use"?

I also looked into a one trip permit (car is allowed to drive from point a to point b its 5 bucks and you have to pay about 42 for uninsured or just have insurance)

how can you pay someone for their time and gas to tow it and not pay a tow company to transport it on a flatbed like the rest of us do?

So far every tow company has wanted about 200

::EDIT::

I broke down and called a towing company...

If you put some tags on your car that don't go to it....

Just make them look legit. I don't recommend doing it, I did it for a while, I got caught. It's called victicious tags (invalid/fake) Take as many back roads as possible or least patrolled roads that you know of. If the cop sees you do not have inspection, he well pull you over.

I'd suggest getting the drive away shit from DMV. Better safe than sorry.

I was exaggerating but for for a 2 hour tow it was looking at 125 dollars

I'm just going to work on it where its at (only needs a little tuning), get it running nicely and drive it home on a single tip pass
