Default Red Car Cop Magnet??????

I havent been pulled over in 15 years,
last week I got a $200 speeding ticket on rt. 16 up north
it was my bad, i was speeding, but so wasnt the mini-van
next to me. now today I got pulled over because the cop
wanted to know if my exhaust was stock. I told him it
was dealer installed and the sticker was on the pass. door
he said no prob. then left. I do have headers, but it sounds
stock still with that big *** slp muff.
my old cars shook the planet and never even got a look--WTF
im done venting now its beer time
happy long weekend every one, ken

It goes with the color.. we stand out more period so in their eyes everything we do is amplified .

We all have to be a little more careful with those "GT - Get Ticket" colored cars.
I get pulled over quite often, for nothing, cops just want to check out my car.

I have never been bothered in my bird.. ever.. and its a demon on the road..

I just drove my bros Hyuandai Elantra on i95 in FL and got pulled over. 200$ later..
I hate cops, I dont care who you are but cops are pathetic, If youre on here and a nice one good for you but 99.9% chance it wont be you who pulls me over. Typical redneck d-bags make me sick.

Red is the most pulled over car but it also stands out more then most any other color and is one of the most popular colors out there...
