That's how I drove mine home.

Turbowhistle, i'll be glad to see your car not sitting downtown this winter You at state farm or the other?
State go after him? I registered my 2006 GTO with 6k miles as $14,500. No troubles.

Of course, that's what I really bought it for.

why waste time writing a whole new one. I always leave the date blank on the bill of sale. keep a pen in the car and if you ever get pulled over write in whatever day it is before the cop comes up to the window. I've done it on prolly more than 5 cars i've owned. granted i've never been pulled over with no plates tho..... but just in case

and ive been told by a cop before, its better to have no plates on than false plates.
