I thought I would pull a fast one when my SVX got totaled. I had personalized tags, and since a totaled car is un-insurable, I was suppose to turn them in. I didn't want to give them up.....and....
I didn't. Waited it out until I could get the car back up and inspected. Rebuilt it, did the inspections, put insurance back on it, and hit the road to the DMV.
I was informed there that I went over 90 days without insurance, my tags were revoked, and I was a DMV outlaw.
Cost me an extra $250 to pay off my "outlaw" DMV status, and I still lost the tags.
The bad part is, I would have lost them regardless unless I could keep the car insured.... Which of course, I couldn't.
