Bullschit. You can drive it and renew tags for it as long as you own it. The only thing you can't do is sell it until it's inspected. Tell that adjustedr to shut her goober smoocher and give you a damn salvage title!!!!!!
I've done it twice. Still got one if them. I renew the tag every year and keep liability insurance for it. Never had it inspected and never had anyone questioning it.
