Denver SC is awesome! Technicians/service advisors, etc are all top notch - a couple of them were at Telsa previously. They love chatting it up about anything, and like to hear feedback.

In 7 months of ownership (R1S), I've done some very minor things, and just 2 weeks ago did a tire rotation. So easy to get an appointment. I like getting in there just to talk to them and meet other owners.
I agree it’s always a treat to visit. Martin is the man! Check out my loaner this week!

Despite having one foot in the grave the Avs host Game 7 in Ballsack Arena tomorrow, 24 hours after tonight’s Nuggs Game 1 against the Suns. Full Ballsack.

Meanwhile, here’s the Avs team security after finding their star forward in a hotel room with a drunk russian hooker:

Team Martin here as well! That guy never ceases to help - whatever the issue, he's on the ball, working hard to resolve your issue, explain what's happening along the way and make sure you're taken care of! Can't say enough about Martin and the Denver SC overall - they never disappoint!

Has anyone found a good Llumar Tint installer in the Denver metro area? Was looking at these guys but seems like a volume shop. Might prefer somewhere smaller.

Hey DT...I've used Rolondo at Dentworks of Denver for tint and PPF on all my vehicles since 2006. Not sure if he used Llumar or not but I've been very happy with his work and products used. Might be worth a look since you're looking...

I appreciate you, but the reason I didn't look into him was because it's down in Centennial, which is 45 mins-1 hour away from me so trying to minimize the drop time with somewhere in Denver or north if possible.

No worries...he's just the only guy I know of up there. Besides...if you're in Denver, isn't everything 45 mins - 1 hr away from you? :CWL: That is exactly the reason I moved to C Springs...much calmer pace to the day down here! Good luck sir!

I think you might be misreading the article. CO Springs is the LONGEST commute of all CO cities!

You're right...I did misread it. I guess I didn't interpret their numbers the same as the author. Just looking at Denver vs. Colorado Springs:
Under 15 mins: 29% vs. 27% - about the same
15-30 mins: 33% vs. 48% - greater times in the Springs
30 min-1 hr: 30% vs. 19% - greater times in Denver
> 1 hr: 7% vs. 5% - about the same

Differences fall in the 15-30 min and 30 min-1 hr. Springs has more in former but Denver has more in the latter. That overall seems to still be advantage Colorado Springs (15-30 min commute WAY less painful than 30 min - 1 hr commute). Regardless, I've lived both and I can assure you there is NO comparison in reality. Compared to Denver, there is not a traffic issue in the Springs (IMHO). Bottomline: it's all subjective and depends on where you live and where you need to go. For me, the choice was too easy...but that's how I planned it to be...YMMV! Fun discussion though! ;)

I completely agree it is all subjective. That’s why I didn’t add my two cents, just found it funny to read back to back with your comment. And for the record , I would drive triple the distance to avoid sitting in traffic. Denver is pretty miserable.

How long did it take everyone to get their documents to register their Rivians? My temp plate expires tomorrow and I've received nothing to register my vehicle at all.
