Can I get temporary insurance to move my car to another state?

I have been moving around for work and finally have a more permanent location. Because of all the moving, I now have a car at my parents' house in NM, registered in UT, and I live in AZ. Can I get temporary insurance to drive the car to AZ?

You may not need temporary insurance to drive your vehicle from one state to another! If you intend to continue driving the same car after you get it to Arizona, then you won’t need a
temporary insurance policy
 just to move it. 
Rather, you can have your insurance company help you take out a suitable car insurance policy by letting them know where the car is and that you are moving it to your permanent location. Your company will walk you through the process so that you can get the car moved and re-registered in Arizona.
If, on the other hand, you are moving the car but do not intend to register or drive it in Arizona, you may have a more difficult time. Reputable insurance companies generally do not write a policy term shorter than six months—so you would need to insure the vehicle to move it and then cancel the policy or convert it to a storage policy after the fact.

Does the Toyota warranty cover a cracked windshield?
I was driving my Toyota the other day when I noticed a crack starting to form at the bottom of my windshield. As far as I know, I didn’t hit anything, and I didn’t notice any damage that would’ve resulted from a vandal. Will the Toyota warranty cover a windshield?
