I forgot... Florida has a similar thing. Some people drive down every fall to Florida from some other northern place... Snow Birds... Florida will let you register a car and leave it there if you are a Snow Bird... Even Canadians can do this. This way you can fly down and you have a car there waiting for you.

Just move out of NY... If you can't afford it start a Fans Only site.
