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.
1, 2: If the tags are expired, you will need a permit in addition to an insurance binder. To drive in the US, you need a permit and insurance - they are separate. If you do not have a valid plate, you need a permit in lieu of it. Regardless of whether you have permit or plate, you need the ICBC Binder.

3, 4: I doubt it, but the best bet is to call the California DMV.
