Bud,

I think Massachusetts has some funny stuff with the way their insurance and
registration are tied together.  Years ago I had a boss that had just moved from
Massachusetts and I remember that she had to mail her license plates to the 
state
before they would cancel her insurance.  Its not a problem in Missouri though 
and is a
good point and worth checking in to.  Though I wouldn't think that you would 
have the
same problem collecting on an unregistered vehicle under comprehensive that you 
might
with liability or collision.
