I don't think that's entirely true; not here, at least. I know that on the farms out where I grew up it wasn't uncommon to see old beater trucks or cars (Beetles were popular) out in the fields. They didn't have to be registered or insured or anything and it was cool for anyone tall enough to drive them.
What I'm getting at is that when you buy a car, you own that car. Excluding a lease or bank loan, the car is yours to do with as you please - the idea of stickers and insurance and such only applies if you plan on using public roads.
