Disregard that last post.

Another question. The car I bought had it's tags expire (from California) in October and right now it has "storage" registration on it.

1. My question is, can I get the insurance binder from icbc as is with the cali plate like this?

2. If not, do I need to get an insurance binder for the california plate as well as a trip permit from California DMV?

3. Do I have eat up the full year registration costs?

And if I do have to go and get the trip permit, aren't that going to try to make me pay california state tax?

I'm going this saturday, so the sooner the answer, the better.
