Just hours after the New York Times reported the former Treasury Secretary turned down the president's offer to consider him for top spot at the Fed, Geithner was spotted at a New York DMV trying to switch out his Maryland plates, the Journal News reports.

It seems as though Geithner couldn't get out of the DC area fast enough.
