It hadn't really occurred to me until I read this that each time I travel, I have a "dealers" license plate in my computer bag.

We live 250 miles from SLC , 350 from Denver and 450 from Phoenix or Vegas, so each time I travel, there's a drive to the airport and a vehicle to leave until I return.

In every case, it costs less to take a vehicle to the auto auction and run it through the sale, with a $25 no sale fee than it does to use airport parking for 2 weeks, plus there's always an airport shuttle each way and a truck with jumper cables available when I get back in the middle of winter!

In 6 years, I have never once been asked about carrying a license plate…. Until the next time I suppose!

It's rarely rocket science, it's usually just math: then again if you can't do the math.......
