Default Is this Legal? (new car, wont pass inspection)

In order to pass inspection the car needs at least 1 tire replaced and a new windshield. Its approximately 45 minuets from its future home but all 3 of my transport options have fallen through (friends with trucks/suvs and trailers)

Wile the majority of the trip is on a country road (Blacksburg Rd.) a fun road at that, 2 other sections are highly populated with local and state police.

a 10 - 20 min drive I would risk, but how legal is it for me to do so? I'm taking it to get tires in that same trip

The car will be sitting for a wile to get tuned up so I don't want to pay for registration and insurance on it during this month and a half of work time.
usually gets noticed.

Does any one have a suggestion?

or would any one with a truck and trailer mind picking the car up for me?
Blacksburg to Roanoke I'll pay for your gas and time

not legal at all... you can get a one trip pass from the DMV ($10 i think) instead of registering it, but that won't exempt you from the inspection issues.

but as long as it has 4 tires and a yellow sticker i doubt you will get second glance.

Whatever you do, DON'T RUN ILLEGAL TAGS!!!! That is a federal offense and will guarantee a night in jail. Just be smart and rent a uhaul with a trailor. It will cost less than the fines you would receive if you risk it.
