2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Colorado Registration

[TPCDrafting]

Trex will be undersized when it's done. Would have cost 1/3 to have done it 10-15 years ago when it was due. Maybe yer right on Wyo's actual budget, I don't know. I guess I get more bang for my buck spending 300 mil/year on many thousands of miles of roads.

I agree that Wyo's roads are in general much better than Colorado. I believe that is directly due to the lower traffic volumes that Wyo roads have. Due to the lower traffic volumes, they are cheaper to build, and last longer. Add not using salt on the majority of the roads in the state for ice control, and they last even longer.

Wyoming roads in good shape???



It sure is nice to drive 12 miles of dirt between Shoshoni and Casper right now Or how about over the mountain from Ten Sleep to Buffalo, that's another great one. Or better yet, try I-80 Laramie to Rawlins, nice, real nice



That's just a few of the major ones I can think of. I know of many more smaller highways that are in pretty bad shape.

Wyoming does live up to having only two seasons. Winter and construction. To toss the ball back into your side of the court, try taking hwy 93 from Golden to Boulder. No shoulders and has enough traffic to support an interstate. I used to commute that road to high school. My car had a bumper sticker that said: Pray for me I drive 93. While your there take hwy 72 up Coal Creek. Better yet ride a motorcycle up it. The ruts will take you out before you get into the mountains. If you do make it up there, watch out, the shoulders are crumbling off and the lanes are rutted from heavy traffic. It hasn't been paved since '89. I know, I was there. And that tar/gravel topping doesn't do squat, and the first time they run a snow plow over it, it's all scraped off anyway. On your way out, take hwy 128. The heaving ground has created bumps that can get the CTD airborne at 55 mph! I could pick off desperate highways all day long.

What about Utah?

Moved back to Utah from OR not long ago and need to register my 02 here. OR was obviously cheap but what about a used truck in Utah?

I guess I dont feel too bad about the $180 I pay a year in Michigan. You know you can write off plate/registration fee's on your income taxs. They are considered a tax. I write off mine and my wifes plates every year.

Tim,



I avoid Boulder at all costs





However, airborne at 55, hmmmm... ..... that sounds kind of fun

I paid $416. 23 yesterday to the Douglas County Clerk. Mine is an '02. Please note that if you are a CO resident, you have to register it in CO in the county you live in. The only people excluded from this are full time college students and active duty military. They can leave their vehicle registered in the state they claim residency. Failing to register your vehicle in CO carries a $1000 fine upon conviction. Don't forget to get a CO driver's license too. Check with your County Clerk and Recorder for exact rules/laws on this subject and with the CO Dept. of Revenue-DMV for License info. By the way, most of the taxes you pay on your vehicle go to the county, not the State. You can also check websites of the Colorado State Patrol or the Colorado Dept of Revenue for info.

been a few years now, just curious if any CO folks would have input on what I would expect to pay to register my '99 and '00? moved out here last year and time to get the tags for the right state. In Larimer county.

I would say CO roads beat WY hands down from my point of view... I live on a road that continues into Wyo, you can tell the difference... you have made it to Wyo when you dang near shake off the road... or if it is paved and winter you slide right off since they refuse to plow or salt/sand.
