Why not just register it?

Unless you are flipping it and want to keep the no owner status?

It's not that you can't drive it on public roads, it's that you shouldn't get caught driving it on public roads.

I would slap some old plates on it and drive it home.

Make sure they are commercial plates.

If you get pulled over tell the cop the situation, worst case you get a couple of tickets that will be cheaper to pay than the tow.
