I am a Pennsylvania resident, but I am going to be going to college in California for the coming year. I want to fly out to CA and then buy a car there, but I will not be driving it back to PA until the end of the school year, at the earliest. So basically, I will be using the car in California for many months, but be a PA resident with a PA driver's license. Is this possible legally? Obviously I will have to transfer the car's title at a place in California, but how will the car's plates, registration, inspection, and insurance work? What are the laws surrounding this issue?
I cannot claim California residency until I have lived there for a year, so that is out of the question.

Thanks for your advice.

 

Stay in PA. Californians have a deep-rooted hatred for anyone from that state.

Just kidding...
