I don't know how cheap it is, but most car rental companies have short term lease programs. I'm sure it can be done by the month. Worth a look if you haven't checked it out yet.

Does it have to be legal? Because I mean, there's always Grand Theft Auto...

Buy a cheapo and sell it afterwards for the same price, I guess.

lots of times you can probably flip them and make a profit too. or atleast cover all the fees of registering a car, getting plates, suffering at the dmv, etc...

In DC you can buy a "hoopdee" for $500 and then get two DC temp tags, one a month. According to a recent City Paper article There are more temp tags in DC than there are cars to put 'em on.

Don't need insurance, registration, inspection, emissions, anything like that.
