What country do you live in?  I've never met a cop that gave a flip about intent.  It's always a matter of what they can get away with.  I've never been in a court that cared about intent either.  I do understand that intent is supposed to be part of something being a crime but that went out the window when the swapped the order on innocent until proven guilty.  I've never been around any court that held to that either.  I live in the US.  The only time intent or innocent until proven guilty comes into the picture is when you have lots of $ to push the issue.

Charlie is technically correct. But it would never stand the test of  the
courts. If you are pushing the car into - or onto - a trailer in front of
your house, a cop is never going to cite you. It really is a matter of intent.
Loading it in front of
your house should not  be taken as an intent to defraud the DMV.

Speaking of Corvairs, though, as long as you keep insurance on the car, you
can register it. I keep my Stinger insured so I can keep it registered, so
I can  flat-tow it.
