Colorado B.S. Thread

Him being from Cali, its not that bad. I sit in it everyonce in a while going out to golden in the afternoons, and yes it is slow, but moves lightyears faster than LA or Atlanta traffic.....or saturday morning ski traffic....thats the one that sucks around here

 

Can somebody please tell me if this is normal!!!?

 

like 6th ave going east between 715-845am between sheridan and I25? and going west 5-550pm I25 to wadsworth?

 

yep. its one of denvers worst areas ill agree, but compared to some other major cities, its not too terrible

 

The worst is 225 to I-25 at 7-8.. that sucks balls

 

I-94 between Dickinson and Bismarck is awful.....I think i saw 3 cars today

 

The commute from my house to my classes 1 block away is pretty bad. Sometimes I have to wait for the crosswalk sign....

Haha shaddap!!




Hey Bob, how's Rye? So much to do there right?! haha

 

anyone know for a fact the laws in co about exhausts? i gottaget emmisssions and my exhaust currently dumps b3fore the axle.... heard it has to dump over the axle for the emission people to test it? true?

 

There was talk about this not to long ago I think they will still do it. I'll check the web site.

 

I asked that question not too long ago but never really looked for the answer

 

Web site does not say. Call air care Colorado.

 

why would it matter?

 

Some say that it has to dump after the rear axle, but I don't know if that is true. I know a lot of trucks that dump just after the cab - so as long as it's past the cab, you *should* be OK.

I am by no means a state official tho .

 

great area, good people...but i definitely think you have more wildlife than you do citizens haha

we're thinking next year, if we come back and if i'm still around, to come down early and do some hiking around the area

drove through a good chunk of pueblo last night and damn is it fuckin GHETTO! once you get near the riverwalk it's not bad but the south end of town is rough

most certain it has to be over the axle...but not positive...i have an exhaust tip you can put on somehow to extend it if you're close...it's a 3" tip i think? just drill some holes to attach it temporarily

 

im pretty sure theyll tell me its a safety concern because its too far forward... thinkin about just fixing it and dumping after the axle.... ugh fuckin politics

I think I'm more confused now, but this makes me think ANY modifications to the exhaust are illegal. Man, there's a TON of ricers out there in violation .

But still, I don't see anything about stating the exhaust has to dump after the rear axle...
