I live in Virginia and am heading to Maryland this weekend to buy an '84
Westy.  The problem is, Maryland apparently doesn't issue new/temp tags on
Saturdays.  Unfortunately, this is the only weekend I can make the trip and
am, anyhow, desperate for wheels.  The guy I'm buying from isn't cool about
lending me his tags for a day.  Therefore, I'm taking the plate of my old
Pa-registered Toyota to put on the van for the trip back (better than no
plate at all, right...???).  The trip back will last for about 3.5 hours
and I'm worried about a pull over and its implications (probobly be the
only time in my life I get pulled over).  So, can anyone think of a better
plan or have any idea what the penalty is for this sort of fiasco?

p.s. I will have insurance for the van, but no documentation....being that
I just made the call today...
