I realize this is an old posting, but just a note that the Land of Lincoln
folks may not mind a California reg with an Illinois address, but it does NOT
work the opposite way. Our local constabulary out here in California gets
concerned with out-of-state tags on cars parked in their local driveways,
since a
main source of local revenue is the half of the vehicle reg fees that are
passed
on to the local jurisdiction. More than once, my journalist friends -- who
regularly drive press cars with out-of-state plates -- have been followed into
their own driveways by their local police, who were prepared to ticket them
and
impound the car for illegal registration.
Just sayin'
Cheers
