The Department of Motor Vehicles in most states - and I presume in the four Commonwealths - have a method for issuing a temp tag for transporting from out of state. In DE they skip the paper tag route and issue a hard plate, but the title is held and transfer doesn't happen until after VIN inspectio...

Since there was a marked increase in compression after the first round of magic juice, it could be stuck rings.
