Forgot the url, but try alta vista. What I remember is that the process looked cumbersome, with lots of EPA and DOT clearances needed before you can get US plates on a foreign vehicle. Maybe Candians would be slightly easier. (I think a US vehicle can be broght to canada free of charge if the owner moves there and takes up residence, right?) Anyway, maybe a more practical solution for those near the border would be just to keep it registered in Canada. You just have to make an annual trip up to Canada to get it inspected. Perhaps you also need a Canadian address (some friend's) for them to send the paperwork. Perhaps the Canadians will send to a US address. (Why should they care) Yes, I know that in theory you are supposed to register your car where you live, but I also know many people who never bother to change registration when they move to a different state in the US. Never heard of anyone "getting caught" and don't know what consequences that would have, if any. /m > > '86 GL > I am hoping that someone will liberate My Crew before that bank > takes ownership of her!
