Don't be a sucker - everything is negotiable!
state charges the dealer $5, and the platestock costs about $1, and it takes 5 minutes.
i offered him $100 to his private paypal.

AAA the car home. And you should be a AAA+ member with the 100 mile tow range free.
I've had good luck with plugs. But also bad luck.
Any issue patching a tire if it's been plugged?
I ask as I wouldn't mind plugging a tire myself as it's easy, but then later on getting a patch.
No issue, assuming you are talking about the tar strip plugs? They'll just pull it out, ream it out, and throw in a patch-plug from the inside. If they do it right and clean/grind the rubber ridges down on the inside before vulcanizing it in, they'll last the tire. Just never use fix-a-flat or they'll hate you. And most good places will only do a repair in the tread of the tire.
I was pretty good at them when I did that stuff. $50 sounds a bit high, but it does take some time to do right. You're still lifting up the car, removing the wheel and tire, waiting on cement to get tacky before throwing it in, rebalancing it after. It's not a 5 minute thing.
Pretty much what Magic said. Sometimes you can just patch over the existing plug since it's already filling the channel. If you plug yourself, try and keep track of the object angle so you don't make a new, different hole.
I can be there in an hour with a NOW1FE or AMURICA plate. AMURICA may look suspicious. My rates are very competitive.

This sounds like some Polish magic. Who vulcanizes?? This isn't Transylvania.

when someone pulls in and the car is held together with duct tape and zip ties, that area expands, and the wheel def does not come off the car.
the front plate from the metro should work fine.
