I have thought this over time and time again... I've had the Cougar, and the red CSVT (before I got rid of it) registered and insured in CA for the past 5 years that I've been in AZ. I've also held on to my CA driver's license!
There are a few reasons why I have done this. First being, insurance. I cannot insure an AZ car under a CA policy, its AZ law! I had tried this when I first bought the red CSVT, and failed miserably. Even if this would (or would've worked), it would be a mess of paperwork, more money down the drain, and just a pain in the rear.Not just that, but CA rates are by FAR lower than AZ for a guy in his mid 20's.
Now my second reason (probably should now be my first) is that I plan on permanently residing back in the Bay Area within the next couple months!!!
Hope this all made some sense!
