    you won’t be able to register it anywhere in the united states; which means that you won’t be legally allowed to drive it unless you garage it every night at a mexican address.

      You think people with cars registered in Mexico have to go back to Mexico every night?

      Mexicans can’t drive their cars further into the United States than a 12-hour drive? You really think that?

          Please do show me the law that Mexicans have to return their car to Mexico every night. I would like to see this law.

              Nowhere does that even suggest that Mexicans have to return to Mexico within 24 hours if they drive here from Mexico. That’s just not a law. I have no idea why you think Mexicans can’t legally drive from Tijuana to New York City, but they can, despite that taking over 40 hours.

              They can even drive to Toronto. That would take even longer. And then they can go back through Canada and through the U.S. and back to Mexico and they can stay in the U.S. as long as their travel visa allows.

              I have no idea why you think they can only get 12 hours from Mexico by car before they have to turn back.

                read it, it’s right there in the law: the car has to be qualified by american import restrictions and standards; which these cars do not have and will never get.

                the only way to legally drive is it is to return it to a garage out of state and all of the states have similar laws.

                  What does that have to do with how long a Mexican can keep their car in the U.S.?

                  Are you under the bizarre impression that a car has to be registered within 24 hours of crossing the border?

                    i think you’re purposely missing the point; there is no such thing as 24 hour car registration and you cannot register a car unless it’s garaged in the jurisdiction to intend to keep driving it in.

                    any car owner knows this so you’re clearly no longer arguing in good faith and i don’t see a reason to continue.
