In the past a number of us claim a spouse as a resident of one state that the car resides in. The other spouse own and register the second car in NH.

I usually claim residency in the state with the cheaper insurance. You have to be careful, some states will check plates of cars that are in the state longer than 60 days and by state law you must register in that state. Happen to me once when I was consulting in Mass and renting a room for 3 months.

Back in the 80's I had a power wagon that no longer pass inspection in NH. I was able to get it registered in Florida and use it a few more years! Those were the days!
