[QUOTE="GeorgiaSnake, post: 13445709, member: 113703"] I live in GA and bought my Sport Trac in FL. I registered my vehicle in GA at the time of purchase. Now for all those that said you cant to this fella here is a hypothetical. I don't know all the particulars about CA but I will run this for discussion because it seems to blow some of the contradictory logic out of the water. Lets say you are working in CA for an extended period under a contract or something. You live in another state. You are only a temp resident of CA, not officially living there. You should be able to register the vehicle in your state and not CA. For one thing I am going to go on an assumption and guess you are not driving on a CA drivers license. It is a violation of law to operate a personally owned vehicle registered and licensed in one state and you the driver licensed in another state. Now you find a purchase a vehicle in CA. You should be able to register and get a license plate for your real state of residence. This is what I did in FL when I bought my Sport Trac and I reside in GA. I was "living" in FL and working in FL but officially residing in GA. I did this for 2 years. Another side benefit is if your real state is a bit more lenient on the vehicle laws, your vehicle only has to comply with the laws for the state whose tag is on it and not CA with its sometimes really quirky and strange vehicle laws. For example, my Sport Trac has Tinted windows. They are darker that what FL law says they should be but not what GA law says they should be. I did not have to comply with the FL standard. Never had to stand on that, but it is a fact. The Snake [/QUOTE]
