    Maybe that’s a state law or something related to new cars? People buy as-is used cars in private sales and trailer them home all the time.

      You don’t need insurance in my state, for a while you could drive newly acquired cars without plates in CA, but I think they recently closed that loophole.

        Yea they plastic temp plates now that you legally need on new cars before driving it off the lot. Lots dbags out there just never putting on their metal plates on new cars and driving like jackasses, that’s why.
