Twice a year! In the fall I take the RX7 and Square off and put the golf on, and vice versa in the spring. I leave the notch on all year as it has antique insurance which is dirt cheap. Take the plates in to DMV, they give you a receipt or credit if your reg will still be good beyond the spring so you just get new plates in the spring... costs a buck or 2 each time unless its time to renew the reg. inspection is good for a year no matter what you do with the car. I know last summer I saved $220 by getting the Golf off the road for the summer. You may want to keep comprehensive coverage on your car though incase there is a fire or vandalism etc.... but you usually need it garaged to do that.
