i bought a car on ebay from a dealer thats 50 minutes away. im not too sure exactly what i need to do in order to get the car, cus i have never bought one b4. i have my insurace in my dads name and i was told by my friend i can call the dmv and get a temporary tag that lets you drive the car home w/o worrying. and i guess my insurance company would have a temporary thing too for driving it back. whats the best way to go through with this??

Yea get insurance for the car first, then call the dealership and ask them if they can hook u up with a temp plate.
