Here in colorado it doesn�t cause a tax liability but it does create massive
problems if the plates get loose and you havent deregistered the vehicle.
Years ago one I hauled in for disposal got me some parking tickets overdue
notices in the mail.  That was when I realized the plates were still on the
vehicle and that you needed to go to dmv and deregister a vehicle.  Took a
nightmare of running around and paperwork to get out of those 70 dollar
tickets. By the time I was done I think it might have been easier to pay
them.  OUCH.

Planned insanity is best.
Remember that sanity is optional.
