    Colo is nimby country these days. I have young friends who worked big fancy jobs for spectrum cable they were sent out to Colorado with new high salaries etc etc and they have become the people that they spent many years trying not to become in one fell swoop and move. I hardly know these people today It is quite amazing.

    As a former smart mule, I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say you haven’t bought coffee for any of the officers working your area, you drink while working on your cars and therefore cannot remember how many times you’ve told your neighbors to F themselves. It’s a Felony when you F with your plates. If you think the cheapest way to straighten it out is to have a judge help you figure it out? Think again?
    You need a lawyer. Let the Lawyer assist you in presenting a rationale the Judge can quickly accept and rule on so he/ she doesn’t get pissed thinking you are flaunting THE LAW and beat you with it until you weep!
    Get the parts car off the street, cover it so the neighbors don’t have to look for it. Buy them some beer, apologize, apologize again. Thank them for helping you clean up your

    Thanks for the entertaining thread. I sure am glad I learned my lesson (4 years sober, money saved $15,800. Money paid to Lawyer $2700, felony refused to misdemeanor.

    And THAT is total BS, Gino.
    Follow the laws. Get with the program and stop being so pig headed.

    If you do it right, there should be NO problem going forward.
    IF.......you continue to buck the system I hope they DO throw your A S S in jail.
    The laws are there for good reasons.

    AND.....if a person really WAS doing something illegal similar to what you described, what kind
    of a story do you think THEY would tell ???? Exactly the same one that you are telling.

    Personally, I like typing out my posts. It gives me time to think about what it is I AM saying vs what I WANT to say.

    Plus, I had to endure years of schooling where grammar was forced upon the students. Enough of that actually "took" that I find it irksome to try and deal with the mish-mosh of modern texting.
