I could be wrong, but based on what I have learned that is not technically true? Your car needs to be insured and registered in the state where it is primarily garaged. Although you can probably get away with what you are doing, good luck if you have to make an insurance claim in NY and they contest it based on where the car is garaged, versed where it is registered and insured. Hope you don't run into this situation.
