    Wife wants me to do the unthinkable due to the Florida DMV debacle!

    thats how Vermont does it…I’ve registererd many Hmmwv’s in Vermont and never received the Tags with the plate, it’s always been separate. Vermont also does not issue titles on vehicles over 15yrs old, so if you wanted one, the vehicle has to be inspected.
