When I am driving in the west I am often passed, surprised me until I got used to it. Denver, wow. There is a buttload of IT work but dont know if the felony will help or hurt. Small body shops that swear to the bigger body shops that all of the contractors have a decent record may be your best bet. Hope it works out. Xfinity is OK I lived with it for 12 years. pricey but mostly works.
