Getting your plates renewed is like a holiday that comes but once a year. I don't remember every having to renew my plates in Colorado - but that could have something to do with the fact that I never had a car that lasted over a year.

So I got my inspection done. my front suspension link bar is bustedor something. $42 part only available through a dealer. Figures. Add $15 labor and its still actually not a bad trip to the mechanic. I knew something was wrong and was expecting a thousand dollar bill.

So I'm now sitting in the dmv. Very exciting stuff. Nicely cooled at least.

The number system here is weird so you never know when you're coming up. It's like they just choose arbitrary random numbers to call out. "now serving 324, 742, 900, umbrella."

Here I sit alone and wonder how much this will cost and ... thunder. uhhh ...

yea my plates 2 months expired. :(
