Strike a deal topay them a little "rent" so you can use their address to
register it there. Get a Mexican Drivers license (can't be that tough,
have you ever seen them drive there ?), and just register it there &
drive it there. Go back every once in a while to say you really are a
"part-time" resident there. Have the person send you your registeration
renewal & keep it updated. Don't know about the insurance.
