56.48 License fee
100.00 stupid fuckin' penalty for not paying to renew the registration on something that never moved outside of my shop for 6 years.

Fuck Ritter/Owens/Hickenlooper and their goddamn "fees". That same bike used to cost 17.30 a year to license, based on curb weight.

Pill give you a hint to get around that $100 if this happens again. Sell the vehicle to your wife for $1. You will pay a new title fee and the $100 goes away.

We spend close to $300 a month on E470 between the wife and I.

Last year my tags cost me 158, but would have been 260 if I didn't tell them it's recreational.

I didn't do this. Wasn't sure they did this any more. I remember my dads truck as a kid having plates that said REC on the side. I don't see those any more but doesn't mean there isn't that option, I'll look into it and see if I can get a refund or credit back.

Just looked and yep they have recreational truck. Allows it to be used singly or with a trailer. So this might be a good way to pull a camper and avoid paying the light truck fees and a trailer plate.

This does not work anymore. They will tax the vehicle based off of blue book value and dont give a shit what you paid for it. Even if you have a bill of sale, they charge tax on blue book or what you paid the higher of the two. There is a separate form that you need to fill out to file a discrepancy but then you need a vehicle roadworthiness inspection because the only reason they will except it is if the vehicle needs repairs or is otherwise not working thereby worth less than blue book value. This started last year.

This it Boulder county though so the level of retard may be significantly higher here.

Must just be there. I rebuilt my Tahoe and never registered it for 6 months. About 6 months ago when I finished I went in and they wanted the $100 fee. I cussed the lady out at the counter told her I'll be back with my wife.
Same lady was the one we dealt with, sold my wife the Tahoe right in front of her, used the same emissions I was going to use for mine and didn't get charged the $100. Only paid $7.20 extra for the title fee.

A major slap in the face while driving down several of my local roads and watching how long construction takes...lots signed off by Ritter.
Next is a fuck you to Obama. You tell me to get a better emission vehicle, go green, save gas, save the planet...but now when it comes time I get bent over at the pump, at tax time etc.
Fuck all you democrats who are going after the working man to pay for your bullshit expenses, who fuck over the people who own land and were "green" before going green was the in thing and are making them pay more than their fair share.
I am sick to death of taxes, of being forced to help the "needy" when they are nothing close to the word. I am sick of the fees...like the E-470 fee I am about to pay when I Dont drive on that fucking toll road...its a fucking toll road. Why am I paying fees on a fucking toll road. Damn it that pisses me off.

Nice honest rant, a 9. would have been a 10 if you had replaced Dems with government.

Speaking of Toll roads, I remember idiot-Level(3) Communications in Broomfield use to own a "91 Express Lane" in OC/Riverside.
