Where can I buy land out west...

http://www.mydakotaaddress.com/

Just tell them that you are traveling full time. They really don't care. When I called the state DMV, a person answered the phone. I told her we were travelling and asked if this business was legit. She said yes and we just want the funds.

It turns out that the lady who owns this PO box store front is the sister of the manager of the DMV next door in the strip mall. So she literally walks next door to process your paperwork.

My semi went from $1012 a year including the emissions inspection, 5 years ago, to $97.50. It is now at $102.50. The Jimmy and Eileens car are still registered there. Insurance is 50% of what it is here.

What will screw you is when you get a pulled over. Have a good explanation why the vehicle is not registered in your state. "Really, I store it in SD. Just brought it here to work on it before I leave in it on an extended vacation."

I grew up outside Boston. I feel your pain. I live in Wyoming now, no inspection, no lift laws, rust free trucks, no income tax, low property tax and lots of cheap land. I can see snow capped mountains out my window and my daily driver has 37's. Boston's a great city but I could never live there now. I have been converted to mountain life and couldn't be happier.

Been rocking the Colorado Collector Plate on the 76 since I moved back to IL... Been pulled over once. They will give you the run around for sure.
I also rocked a IL plate on my 93 for 5 years in Colorado...
I just can't seem to get it right!

Don't come to Colorado! Legal Weed has put a boom on people from out of state moving in to take advantage of using weed, growing weed or selling weed. Legally or illegally too. Developers are buying up land with water rights just to grow the stuff. They are doing this all over. Illegal growers are buying cheap houses or renting them and putting huge grow operations in basements and garages. There's a bust of an illegal grow here every other week down here. Seems like the skunk-like odor and massive power consumption are dead giveaways to the grow operations.

Getting the weed freaks out of the way as the map shows we don't have state inspections. The front range counties from El Paso county (Colorado Springs) to Larimer county (Ft. Collins) do have emissions testing. The main issue we have is stupidly high registration costs based on taxable value. We actually see residents registering RV's and similar high-cost items in North and South Dakota to avoid the registration costs. If all you are trying to do is skirt the system and not move, one of the other states may be more practical. If you actually want to move you got lots of choices.

When did El Paso County start doing emissions?! I was there (Colorado Springs) from 2010 to 2014 and never had to get emissions done on the 5 or 6 vehicles that I had during that time.

It would suck to get back there and have to get tested...

Is there an age cut-off?

KTM corrected me. I remember it being on gassers back during my days in college in the 90's. Mine was due in the Nova and had to drive up to Colorado Springs after class to get it tested at a Grease Monkey. It was before the state run dyno test stations.

Now that I reside in Pueblo I really don't worry about it. Both the 91 and my DD 97 S10 are running without cats. I'm such a law breaker..

If there were more people I wouldn't get to drive this around. "Desolated" is fine with me.

Lol that's pretty awesome. I would enjoy it more now. But for a man in his early 20s there just is only so much to do in town. Went to the snowys ALOT.

I actually enjoy most things about it except the lack of stores. Murdoch's coming to town made it better.
My sister lives there so I still get out there every few years at the minimum.

Wade, is your license in South Dakota?

I remember this story. I would definitely not register all my cars out west. I feel like I could pull off saying I own a camp out west and spend summer there. I could say I brought my truck back to work on it this winter. I don't plan on daily driving Fire Truck forever.

Between both of my trucks, I've only been stopped once. That was because a cop loved Fire Truck with no doors on and wanted to check it out. I wasn't ticketed, but he wasn't happy about the lack of a sticker.

I honestly wouldn't want to pull over someone with my blazer. I feel like they'd expect whoever was driving it to be someone they'd rather not to talk to. Where I get burned in that truck is parking without a sticker. We have meter maids in the town I work, live, and most places I go. If they run your plate and you come up as being uninspected, instant ticket.
