I need a tow (on a trailer) for the vette. The total distance is about a mile or so, to the shop that built my motor(from my house). I would drive it myself, if I didn't get pulled over on tuesday driving it from Bimmerhaus to my house (3/4 mile). I don't want to test my limits again, since broomfield county has the highest amount of officers per person in the country.
Anyone available this afternoon(after 4pm) or early (before 9am) tomorrow would be REALLY great. I'll pay for any gas you will use as well as something else for your time (TBD).
Please call me if you can help me out.
Thanks

I can help later this evening. I get out of work around 6pm, and would have to run home and pick up the trailer. Can it be driven onto the trailer, as I don't have a winch?
BTW, I'm out in Lakewood (Green Mountain). Where are you?

The car moves just fine (well not under any aggressive nature)...so i can get it on the trailer. I just can't drive it legally on the road.

Since when isn't the Monster Vette road legal?
You let the tags go, didn't you...

*ponder*
I'd bet that "the shop that built my engine" != "the shop that built my exhaust".

Could it be the lowered suspension? I understand there's an ongoing crackdown in an attempt to curb street racing (no pun intended).

IIRC, modified suspensions and non-oem exhausts are not legal.
Usually not enforced due to the absurdity, but I think the street racer people get tickets for those things just to make their lives more difficult. Or they may not be primary offenses, meaning you have to do something else to get pulled over before they can issue you a ticket for it.

I think you are right on with this "doing something else", I have been "paced" by the State Patrol from Castle Rock into Denver while driving the Civic, nothing but a friendly wave when I turned towards DIA. For sure not using the stock exhaust, and it is lowered, then again doing the speed limit and driving in the correct lane may help.
