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 ;)

As the former owner of a 97 outback I'd like to advise anyone in the market for a used late 90's subie to be aware of the head gasket issue. If mamajoan hasn't replaced it yet be sure to prepare yourself for the inevitable (it's fixable but if you don't get it right away with a mechanic that knows subie's you're going to be in for a world of misdiagnosis)...
