We have a car registered in Florida but have MA drivers licenses. The key is that to register a car in Florida you need Florida insurance and the cars primary place of garage needs to be your Florida home. Also, Florida does not require an annual inspection or charge you an annual excise tax. We drive the car up north to use during the late spring through early fall, but leave it in Florida for about 7 1/2 month of the year.
