Anyone live in Colorado?
 
I’m sick of Georgia. I was trying to find out the cost of living, how much electricians make, laws on emissions, etc.

I went there last year, loved it, though rather move to Lonestar or Jew Heaven tbh... Preferably Lonestar

Tell me about Georgia though, and any nicknames I can use for it, good or bad

So basically to sum up Georgia it’s a political war zone. If you’re a millennial you’re assumed to be democrat. The traffic is fucking awful. It seems like the further you move away from the hood it becomes hood 5 years later. However if you move out to the country everyone is on meth. It’s honestly terrible. I fucking hate Georgia. And nicknames? Fuck hotlanta call it methlanta. It’s not magic city it’s traffic city. Both ways. It’s fucking garbage.

Funny enough, my street racing story takes place in CO

Do have to go back, definitely recommend you go to CO.

As long as you're not militant and shove your views down my throat, doesn't matter to me what your views are

Colorado has a crunchy "Oregon" style vibe. After I bought my FR-S, I drove it to CO on a road trip. The state is beautiful, roads are nice, and the people are friendly. I'm no expert, but it seems like you could move almost anywhere (that is building) and get a job as an electrician.

Political war.. It literally happens here I guess. Half of my country hate the other half. And both hate me; I survive being secretive. If you want to love Georgia, come live here for a few months.

I've been to Atlanta once. Spend a day at the Six Flags. Many years ago. Man, it was the best day of my life.. You have a beautiful country. It's like another planet.

I’ve lost a lot of people to Atlanta. The drugs are awful.

Colorado is full. Move along.


Haha but seriously it’s a great place to call home. Cost of living/housing has increased quite a bit in the last 5-7 years. Homes have more than doubled in price in some areas. Lots of construction happening so I’m sure an experienced electrician could find some good work.

We’ve got a few race tracks within a decent drive, High Plains Raceway, Pueblo, Pikes peak Raceway. A couple smaller ones in the mountains as well.

Emissions testing is required by county for cars 7 years or older. Not sure how often...maybe once every 3 years or so. Expect to have an emissions test requirement if you are in the metro area.

Big negative here is the cost to register cars.

Curious as you're a native, where's a more lowkey area, as while I liked Denver and can maneuver around with ease (I'm basically in 2-3 of the 5 boroughs every other work day), more of a small town kinda guy

Not a native. Moved here when I was 22- around 2008. I’ve been around long enough to see quite a bit of change.

For the money, im a big fan of Brighton and Green valley Ranch. New Gaylord convention center is going to bring some money and jobs. Many folks will tell you to look into the more well known neighborhoods and I’d suggest that but I’d like to put money into something with a larger upside.

Any ideal year to visit CO, overdue for a visit

If you want to ski- January-March.

Cheaper hotels in the mountains during mud season (now- basically when skiing ends til summer).

Fall is the best weather and some great views of you catch the leaf color change.

Summer- hiking and rafting.

IMO- not a bad season. Just different things to do in each. Track days can be done in the winter, we get enough sunlight that snow melts decently quick and winter rates are cheap at HPR.

Wonder how roadtrips are in the BRZ's, definitely a goal is to get one and go to CO with it
