If you do decide to go the out-of-state-maybe-corporation route, have someone hold your hand while doing it. I did see some potential nuisance/roadblocks in the Mass. statutory scheme (fines, a 30-day "use" clause, repetitive violation clause, etc.) but I did not see a civil forfeiture in there. That doesn't mean there isn't one tucked in there someplace though. I didn't look all that hard. Have whoever it is holding your hand write you up a memo on what the worst case scenario would be under the Mass. statutes and then you can balance the severity and likelihood of that happening against the "I have to sell my car" route. That will dictate the path you choose to take.
