Actually, as private property, a business owner can dictate whether
you drive a car *at all*, and since Colorado is an "at will"
employment state, your boss can fire you for *any* reason, or no
reason at all....except for illegal discriminatory reasons.

There is a union hall down off of 58th Avenue just east of I25 which
has a sign which says "no foreign cars in this lot", and they can
indeed tow you away if you park there.

But, who want's to work for a company which uses such tyrannical and
petty tactics anyway?
