Yes, in fact I think that is exactly what you are supposed to do if it is garaged here, but I am guessing. If you were a Brit and had a car here, you would obviously not have British plates on it. As mentioned, just be sure to have Florida insurance and you are good to go. Looking at the Vermont rules, it seems that a used car requires a VIN verification and would necessitate the car being in VT for that step. However a new car does not require a verification and could be registered long distance. So if it is ok to not license the car in Florida, a new car would easier to register.
