Because the car is driven here. I live in Atlanta, and God forbid I was to get into an accident here with the car being insured in NY then they could choose not to cover the damage... I'm waiting to hear from him on how much insurance would be for him up there in addition to mine here... he's 31, and has a clean record, so I'd assume that liability for him wouldn't be more than $50/month or so, probably less than that...

Would I be able to get the car registered in my name without the car being titled to me? Or could we both be on the registration? This DMV stuff is crazy... it should be much easier than this me thinks...
