    Default I can't believe it

    I just paid $240 to Arapahoe county to pay for registration on a 1984 Blazer. Seriously?

    My truck seems to actually go up every year. It $200 three years ago, Two years ago it was $250, a year ago it was $300, then this year it was $270. What the F***?!

    My wife's new 2011 Optima, $436 last month. I can't believe this. I'm losing my mind.

    If people were required to pay for the light rail like DC residents do when they ride the Metro then it would pay for itself and possibly make money. But the current system of the honor code when purchasing a ticket is ridiculous.

    If the damn thing went over the entire metro area rather than lone tree to downtown it may actually get business as well.

    Excuse my ignorance-but what is a light rail system?
    Is that like a monorail system?
    They tried that here in NY and it flopped big time.

    I noticed that my registration fees went up this year too... WTF? Taxation into poverty if you ask me, CO is getting worse the more and more liberal we become (I don't mean us as liberals I just mean the libs keep getting more and more wins here). I thought you could argue against this due to registration and tax being based on the value of the car. Someone told me once that all you need is KBB and NADA value sheets and you can appeal your fees and they adjust based on how much your car is worth now, not the purchase price. I'm not sure on this though so don't take that to the bank without checking more on it.

    F*ck Bill Ritter

    Fuck colorado and their ridiculous registration fees.

    When people from Kali move here and bitch about the registration fees, you have a problem.

    oh, and just try selling a car and trying to get your refund.
    bahahahahahahah, yeah, they fucking keep it all. Even though you pay in advance.

    and why exactly do we have to pay sales tax on a used vehicle that was already registered here? Isn't that paying tax on the same thing twice (or more)?
