Last year I had a integra that wouldn't pass emmisions so I couldn't register it, but the tag office gave me like 5 papers saying that I can drive without a tag with the papers (if I got pulled over to show them it) and had 30 days with the papers. Drove around alittle over a month withOUT ANY tags lol. I got pulled over like 2 times in the month, and showed them the papers and it was alright. Did you go to the registration office and try to get a tag? OR ask them about the papers I had..
