I have another question for you guys. I looked through the DMV's website and I can't find an easy answer.
Say I have a vehicle I picked up from a friend. I don't plan on doing anything with the car, therefore I don't want to register or insure it. Basically I just want to keep it and have it sit.
1. Is this even legal?
2. I did this with the e30 and waited about a year to register it, which was a mistake.
3. From reading the DMV's site, I think I can just title a vehicle, as it states "after your vehicle is titled you MAY register it. So, as long as ownership is shown, you might not have to have it registered. I think the big concern is insurance, registration, and actually driving it on the road.
4. could this pose a problem if I wanted to register and insure it later on?
