Different towns have different rules on it. I know in Hamburg they only bother you when a neighbor complains. One old bastard reported 40 cars in a day, but the inspector was nice and told me to cover it or put a for sale sign on it. I now keep one plate every time I turn in a set, and put it on the car, no issues ever. ---

You could light your car on fire in the road in LeRoy and no one would complain 🙂 ---

my dad just went through this crap last year… if its outside it has to have a plate on it, even if its covered. obviously, as stated by others if you don’t have any douchebag neighbors then you probably wont ever get bothered either way ---

Amherst has an exception in the reg if you put a for sale sign on it. Only stored the fiero outside one winter and my neighbors don’t suck, so I never had to try the for sale trick. ---

you have up to 30 days or until a complaint, the main factor is, if its out of sight from the general public its ok. ( i assume that means the road and asshole neighbors) other than that you should be fine i think? thats what i was told from a state trooper last winter when i had my car off the road. ---

just back it in, then it looks like a car from out of town. Make sure you shovel around it so it doesn’t looke like an abandoned car. ---

depends on the town. here in pendleton you can have 1 unregistered vehicle on your property…but they dont enforce it much only when a neighbor complains will they do something. ---
