I realize I'm one too. A transplant, that is. But seriously, how many new people are moving to the area DAILY? Or do all those out-of-state license plates belong to people "just checking the place out"?
I drove from Rea Road (in Union County) to Providence Road over to the Arboretum and then back to Rea Road via Pineville-Matthews Road today (Saturday). I had to make some returns and run some errands.
In my travels I counted 26 license plates from other states! Most of them from NY, second only to California.

The Garden State Parkway in the summer is all out of state license plates in the summer. I can relate.
Oh the good old garden state pkwy. How nice it was to drive for 2 hours on an open road...Most of those out of state license plates you talk about in the summer are just visitors though. Most of the out of state plates in NC now are living here but have not yet given up the license plate where they came from. Hmmm...I wonder if this could have something to do with the annual tax we pay on our vehicles in NC?

At any rate it doesn't help that NC car insurance agencies do not require residency in NC to have NC car insurance. Which is probably why we see so many different license plates.

Summer16 - You're getting visitors, we're getting residents. We need a break to catch our breath! Tell tahiti to put a chain across the NJ turnpike for six months or so!
Actually, I see only NC plates. Except for my FL plate, which I am not about to give up anytime soon. I'll keep the money that NC wants for a little while longer. AFAIC, I am paying it in state income tax and the extra Mecklenburg sales taxes.
I made my money up big time by switching to NC plates and registering in NC. Taxes on my car may be $75 per year but I saved over $1000 per year in car insurance.

Now that is something to consider. Curious as to where you are from. Insurance can't be much higher that it is in FL.
