Ok, that's not ALL I got, but that was the big one.
So, I've been here in Colorado since March. Apparently there's a law saying you have to get CO plates for your car after 30 days. I just hadn't gotten around to it, usually because I didn't have the money. My AZ plates were still good, so whatever. Well those plates expired at the end of October. So I've been trying to find the time where I had the money to get the car registered. The way paydays and overtime worked out, this Friday was a nice day for our income, so I figured I would do it Saturday morning. Turns out the DMV isn't open on Sat like I thought it was.
So I figured oh well, I'll do it Monday. Saturday was my birthday btw. So my wife and I go into Denver for the day, and then on the way out of Denver I get pulled over. The cop was nice enough to explain that it's usually a $700 fine, but he's just going to give me a mandatory court date. That was nice of him. maybe he saw it was my birthday so he skipped the fine, who knows.
So now I have to haul all the way back to downtown Denver in the middle of rush hour in February. Figures. Got my plates this morning. Ugh.
Maybe I shouldn't have washed the car on Saturday morning. It was so dirty I don't think you could see that the AZ tags were expired, haha. My coworker moved here from AZ the same time I did. His AZ tags expired over a year ago, and he hasn't gotten pulled over yet...lucky.
