My Duster plan is:
insure it
register it
get aligned and inspected
at this point I am figuring on doing all that in 2 weeks unless we get hit with a blizzard. Not going to do its first drive over snow/salt covered roads or I could do it now. Also, just in case I keep it on regular tags and need annual inspection, I don't want it to be due in Feb. Thinking down the line I don't want to have to take it to insp in bad weather and in case I would need to work on it to pass future insp I don't like to have them due in Winter.
Beyond that... planning for paint. Leaning toward B/C at this point and thinking I will drive it to Hoppyland and take Ray up on his offer to use his space.
