You can get a new title in your name without insurance. You will need to have insurance when you register the vehicle. Just owning the vehicle & leaving it parked (off the road if you do not have plates or insurance) does not mean you have to have insurance on it. DO NOT drive it until you have plates and insurance on it.

If your state requires insurance to title a vehicle, then you will need to at least, begin the policy, then cancel it after you have received the title. Most states want to see proof of insurance when you purchase the tabs/registration, not to title the car only. Also, for the sales tax portion of the transfer, you will probably need a statement from your friend that the car is a gift, and that sales tax was previously paid. Some states require this to be notorized, some not.

You can't, park it till you can afford insurance.
