Yeah, Colorado is cool... I'll be in snowmass next week, but that post was just annoying.

Oh you forgot its not CA, minus 1000 points...

Big up to the homeland.

Those are pretty true. P

The accent one is really true. We have no recognizable accent at all.

Hehe, I only lived in CO for about 7 years, but I can identify with most of those ) and as you can see, I'm a huge Avs fan



<----------- GO AVS!

lol then why do all you people keep moving here

Yeah CA population is really suffering. We buy vacation homes in CO. We got all you got minus the cold plus the beach and smoking hot chicks http//www.asturcon3.com/emicons/KOLOBOK/aiwan_smiles/tease.gif[" alt=""/img7987580cbf]

You know the population is suffering when it takes you 4 hours to get anywhere.

Where does it take 4 hours to get anywhere?

In LA, from what my uncle has told me, traffic is a nightmare.

Not 4 hours but traffic does suck...

[quotec1a29fdebd="tylerc"]In LA, from what my uncle has told me, traffic is a nightmare.[/quotec1a29fdebd]

That's an exaggeration.

Granted Los Angeles has bad traffic sometimes, it sure has improved over the last few years. Besides, a lot of places have "rush hour."

I have yet to be stuck in traffic when I travel during non "rush hour" times.

Well the problem is rush "hour" starts at like 2 and ends at like 8 in LA. Around me (the OC) it starts around 4 and ends at 7ish. You can still get around especially if you can carpool lane it...

For those of you in Colorado, T-Rex blows my mind. I moved to the East end of Arapahoe Road in Aurora 10 years ago, when that part of town was a cowpatch. Arapahoe was two lanes, Parker was four lanes, and it took 45 minutes to get downtown. Now everything is a six-lane highway and I can get from Stapleton anywhere in about 20 minutes.

I haven't seen T-Rex yet. Haven't lived there for about 4 years.

Woo! I love FoCo (you may have to live here to know that is the stupid way to say Fort Collins).

ive been to colorado i love the skiing

I had a ton of friends go to CU. I'm just playing, CO is awesome but CA is teh ownz...

Colorado is so beautiful!
