how many of you have red cars?

[johneetrash]

do the cops really notice u more than other colors?

 

[Spooner]

only when there's a hot blonde in the passenger seat

 

[iamwiz82]

i have an inferno red jeep. Havent been pulled over

 

[timmyG]

i drive a red pickup truck and the police here are like hitler youth. they pull me over for no reason, but I think its because they know me, not the color of the truck. dammit. i wish i had some hot blondes in my passenger seat.

 

[hoihtah]

i have a red probe.
but the colors are fading... so i might be okay from the cops.

Me too.

I got nailed for 11 over a couple months ago.

I do but not by choice, it was a loss leader and they only had 2 left both of which were red.

So it was either buy the red car and make the wife happy (it's her birthstone color) and save $2,000 or pay RETAIL STICKER MSRP (goes into shock and starts convulsing).

 

[NeoMadHatter]

red nissan sentra. from back in the day.

 

[Supermercado]

I have a red Cavalier, but my car is incapable of going fast, so no, the cops don't notice me at all. Heh heh, not really. But no, I don't get picked on or anything because of the color.

 

[UberDave]

yeah they notice more. BUt i never get caught ...muahah ...


oh... and they pull over the person next to me instead of me....for some reason?

 

[BAMAVOO]

I have a Red Bronco..Never been pulled over..Never speed in it either though

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

not me

 

[Ernieb]

Silver here

 

[Haircut]

Nope, silver here and never been pulled over, even in my previous car which was Jamaica Yellow I never got stopped.

 

[crawford]

my car is red and looks sporty (contour svt) and ive never been pulled over.

 

[johneetrash]

how about just being noticed? like cops looking at you and such?

i went to a car dealership and said i wanted a red car.. and he reminded me about cops noticing red more than any other color... and what do you know? we drove around in my friend's 240sx and there are 2 cops that pulled over a car, and they both turn and look at us. i didnt know if it was jsut cuz there werent many cars down the road and he heard us and wanted ot look, or if really they just notice red more

 

[Liviathan]

Red Ford Explorer....no problems for me.

Of course you're going to get noticed in a red sports car. I would edit your thread title to include sports because I doubt a red station wagon, or red Honda Accord sedan would get the cops attention like a red mustang or red BMW would.

 

[johneetrash]

exactly, that might be one reason why the cops looked at us. but im asking if it's more of the red color attracting the attention rather than the car.

i think it's probably a combination of the two, but i dont have any cars to test my theory.

(btw the car i was looking at at the dealership was a vw gti)

 

[SagaLore]

I have a red 98 Dodge Neon. haven't been pulled over in that car yet... the red isn't blinding, it's just a casual, plain, red. And the car is plain looking, but in a business kind of way, so it doesn't look dangerous. I think speedy looking cars that are red are the ones that cops look at... 'cause they instill a sense of rebellion...

[TeenHeartthrob]

i drive a 93 milano red prelude vtec....and i drive fast

...and i drive with your daughter in the passenger seat.

people always tell me how a cop will see me from a mile away, pick on me because of my tint, etc...but i've only been stopped 3 times, and gotten a ticket for one of those times.


i guess im just lucky, but i wouldnt want a car any other color

 

[rubenswm]

i've got a red G3 Acura Integra.

 

[FoBoT]

i haven't been pulled over since i owned it, the last time i was pulled over was about 1994, when i owned a white truck

i haven't gotten a speeding ticket since 1984 (i didn't own a red car then)
