Which states are not HMMWV friendly?

went to the town clerk and registered yesterday. Seamless and pleasant experience. NH is far easier than I anticipated.
Kansas is good to go.
The state won't take an SF-97 (since July 2023), only a full title. It needs to be registered as a "Special Interest" vehicle (per H.B. 2014/S.B. 18 in 2021). If you don't already have the KS collector's license, it's a one time $20 fee. It needs to be that way because it's not a standard VIN, and they don't issue VINs.

Has anyone tried to register and Gamagoat in TN. I have one that someday I hope to drive. I understand that I can get a title with my bill of sale and Form 97, but need to put tags on it soon after I get the title. I wonder if I should get the title now while I can? It's up to me when I want to get tags for it, I think.
On the subject of titles, I own a 2003 F-250, the title says F-350. I wondered if I had someone elses title, but the VIN is correct. Whoever typed the title should have used some "Kentucky windage" on the keyboard. Aimed ai the 1 to hit the 2. Ha Ha!

CA is definitely unfriendly. So much that for awhile they basically thought ALL former MV's were HMMWV and made it very hard to get plates for anything (like my M936A2).
Things have gotten a little better they issued a newer VIN (vehicle industry news it's a guidance documant for the CA DMV)) letter that softened the language. I've gotten titles for a couple trailers with SF97's and my '66 M35 sailed through the process with a Utah title.
I'm assuming somebody litigated them. It's the only way stuff changes in this state.

You can register them in Michigan, but for off road use only. Currently there's legislation in motion to change that, though I'm not sure what it entails, and I have read that you can get a permit to operate off road vehicles on road, but haven't actually looked into it yet

If you go to this website they claim to be able to register it in Montana and be street legal in any state without actually residing in Montana. I'm going to look into it further when I get a truck. https://www.dirtlegal.com/

Any vehicle registered in any state, can be driven in any other. Getting it licensed is the easy part, getting it insured is tougher. Probably the most common state tag for humvees is Montana.
You can save yourself some money and fill out and file all the forms yourself. All the forms are available on-line.

The most common rule is any vehicle can be driven in any other state by a driver licensed and a resident of the state the vehicle is legally registered in (reciprocal agreements), a driver licensed and a resident of a state that is driving a "prohibited" vehicle registered in another state is generally seen as illegally bypassing the law.
Many insurance companies will say they don't care because selling "unenforceable" insurance is 100% profit with no chance of loss.
States do not prohibit vehicles so their residents can simply bypass the prohibition by registering the vehicle in a different state.
I am not an attorney so this advice is unenforceable.

Sorry I’m late to the party…
Scientifically, plasma, liquid, and gaseous states would be too hot and would not be friendly to HMMWV.
What we really need is a map with colors to make this understandable. Map should be edited into PO first post. Colors are not important… Perhaps red (friendly) and blue (unfriendly)?
A color map would make things instantly recognizable.

Yeah but what’s considered friendly? Do they say “Yayyy! A HMMWV!” or “Booooo! A HMMWV!”?
I agree. A map would be cool. Or do like easyriders magazine where they have a list of all motorcycle laws (helmets, ape hangers, pipes)
Licensed two last Thursday. Invoices from Gov Planet, SF-97 and it was $135.00 for both and one I even registered for two years. They are licensed as 1 tons. Title and plates are being mailed out. Gave me another temp plate until I receive the new plates and title. You can get a 90 day temp tag just showing the invoice until you get the SF-97. Progressive insures them as a Hummer H1.

Be careful with that, if I'm remembering correctly (and I hope I'm not) that happened to someone else on here, 2 months later their ENTIRE policy was dropped, not just auto, because progressive found out it was NOT an H1.
Glad to hear they're registered as 1 tons though.
