Vehicle registration?

For people up north or if you don't mind the drive, I heard that the Greeley location has not been busy.

I did my DL 2 weeks ago with an appt in COS. No wait and out of there in 20 min. Hoping Vehicle registration is as quick. The appt system is nice if it kills the wait. Hoping they can sustain the model with most things going online.

After that. the line tends to spill out onto Colorado and goes back a ways and she says it's busy all day from what she has seen.

Figured I'd rather wait during the coolest part of the day and just knock it out first thing. I got there a little after 6:00 am and was the 3rd vehicle in line. Got right in at 8:00 and only took a few minutes to get right back out the door and on my way. Didn't even hook my Xterra up for the "treadmill" test. When I drove out, the line on Colorado was all the way past C-470 and stretched back to the next light south. Yeesh.

If they didn't put you on the treadmill, you likely had passed the roadside screening a few times. I used to go to that station with my xterra, but they won't allow 35" tires on it. Last time I was there, I had 33" mudders and it almost climbed off the treadmill. The tire noise from the lugs was deafening also.

...and now I can't find the renewal card. The longer that stuff gets put off the more opportunity it has to end up in a 'safe place' that's so safe, we can't find it again.

My wife likes to "organize" things . . . meaning she can put stuff wherever she wants and take up the whole kitchen island and dining room table with stuff. But if I have one sheet of paper laying out, it gets either put away where I don't know about it or she puts in in plain sight to say "put this someplace".

I had asked here where she put the renewal cards the other day and she put them out on the kitchen table (since I said I was going to try to get the vehicle in). Glad I asked about my card last night, because she had organized it again and I never would have found it this morning.

That sounds like fun.

I remember back when I first got my Eagle Talon in '91 there weren't a lot of AWD cars on the road (as a percentage like they are today anyway) and those testing facilities only had one bay that could do AWD. Sometimes you'd be in a pretty good line behind all the Subarus and Audis.

Those AWD Turbo Eagle Talons were slick, the fastest I've ever driven a car, albeit slow by todays standards, was in a 91 or 92 AWD Turbo Talon. I've always been a 4x4 guy, so very limited experience with speed.

I had the 91 TSi. I miss that car every day. Was so much fun to drive in the mountains . . . would rip up either side of Einsenhower without breaking a sweat. But when the kids started coming and I wasn't making much money, it just wasn't practical at all and I traded it in for a Honda Passport--which was great in its own way.

Went to Mazatlan one year for spring break and my mom agreed to ride with us to the airport to drive the Talon back home after I drove there for drop off. She said it scared the living hell out of her all the way home.

Well, that was fun. Took about 2 hours for a 5 minute process at the County Line location. Most of the vehicles in line around me were March and April expirations.

Gas cap pressure test and connected to the car's computer. Pull up and pay $25 either with cash or credit card. Printed out and handed me the inspection report and I was on my way. Whee! Thanks, Covid-19.

My son went to the Greeley location last Friday, was in and out in under 15 minutes.

Apparently, Adam's county DMV is appointment only, with the sooner est appointment being in August. Guess the camper is going without plates for a while. Dont even have a dealer tag
