The 20-day rule only applies if it's registered in another state. Since this passed from owner to dealer to another dealer to me, it's long since been stripped of its registration. It occurs to me that I could convincingly "misunderstand" this this rule, since it is titled, insured, and was registered in another state... oh, well, at least reg violations aren't points.
You can never be sure about getting a car that's widely advertised, and I thought a couple of times that this one had passed from my grasp. I wouldn't have minded (much) as there's always another one... but I would have hated to let this chassis number get away. It's a long story why, but "07/07/07" is an important date in my professional career.
(Actually, though, not a single other candidate worth considering has come up since this one, so I'd still be playing the waiting game instead of almost on my way to meet the delivery...)
