It's not about how much you drive it, it's about where it's located.

So I can buy 3 cars and park them in 3 different states each for 122 days a year?

This.

I mean you do have to live close to a (tri-)state border to pull this off, but it’s probably doable.

Nope, it’s about where you are considered a resident.

Doesn’t work if you don’t own the car.

As a reminder, we’re talking about a (hypothetical) 183-day rule for car registration here (as opposed to the ~30-day one we currently have, which makes loopholes that we discuss here absolutely impractical).
