Logistics of car transfer

[mamajoan.livejournal.com]

I'm attempting to buy a used car and sell my old car, and cannot figure out how one is supposed to manage the logistics of having two cars and only one registration, especially in Somerville with the draconian parking rules. I understand that it isn't legal to park a car with no plates on the street, even with my visitor permit in the dashboard? Nor, of course, is it legal to put one plate on each car. So what do those of us who aren't lucky enough to have private driveways do??

and btw, if anyone's interested in a '98 Subaru wagon in decent condition, feel free to drop me a line. preferably asap ;)

This. And as for parking a car without plates on the road, I dare say that was also before ALL Somerville roads were permit required. You'll have to have both cars registered until one is sold, or find somewhere to park, and illegally move a plate to the unregistered one to test drive, which I obviously don't endorse nor recommend, and yet.. I've seen it done ;) Good luck!
