Re: Getting a non-CARB diesel registered in NY...
Now the idea is snowballing...
I don't know if I'd travel to South Dakota just to establish residency. If it definitely works, then I'd look into it more (and more if there's a closer state with the same policy).
I don't really have any "local" police, which I suppose is lucky. There's a county police force, and then the local precinct, but the car's drivers change regularly and I doubt they take notice of an out-of-state license plate unless they're sitting behind it.
Are you allowed to register a PO Box address with the DMV?
I definitely want to be creative, I just need to know which direction to "drive" my creative spirit. I'm all about minor scams and getting one over on "the man".
Say this little out-of-state thing got caught. Would the vehicle be impounded, or would I have thirty days to sell it and register a compliant vehicle? Plus, I don't want to buy a car and find out that my address scam isn't going to work. That would just be a giant pickle.
I suppose even easier, but more likely to be caught, would be to just not register it. I have the gas version of the Jeep now, so the swap would probably be pretty easy and relatively convincing.
Sometime over the winter I will go to a dealer and talk to them; see if they want to work out all that tricky stuff with the mailbox. I know most car salesmen are incompotent, but they may know a trick or two.
