Well, the Atlanta General Office parking lot tells that story. They have 30 days to change their registration. The insurance and taxes are a lot lower down here, so I'd expect the rusty tags will be replaced with bright shiny Georgia Peaches rather quickly.

I can't imagine trying to insure that guy's Porsche up North. In Detroit rates on my cars are a little more than 400% higher than I pay in the suburbs of Atlanta.

DTW and MSP are just flippin expensive places to live.
