i fyou are towing thru AAA, you shoudl be able to get away with putting your plate on it. tell them only what they ask for, don't give them anymore in fo than they need. if they dont ask about it being currently registered dont tell them its not. if they do ask, tell them you just bought it and the plates that you put on are the ones being transfered to it.
NY State Trooper: So what makes your car so special to have SVT all over it?
Me: Er...It was made by Fords SPECIAL Vehicle Team?
