    Those are more likely to get you a break.

    If I see Illest, anything with the word "stance", or a shocker sticker, you're also much more likely to get a citation. Bonus points if you spew vape clouds into my face as I stand at the window.

      Stickers though.... stupid stickers increase your chances of getting stopped by about 95%


      I wouldn’t say they are a cop magnet but as a cop your self. Do you notice the bright red/colored cars first rather then the duller more stealth colors?

        Nope, not really, and I've never heard another cop make a reference to a car's color as a "reason" for looking at or stopping a car.

        I owned red vehicles before becoming a cop and never noticed extra attention.

            I own a red car my self and also never have any extra attention. Find it interesting that people say they are magnets but then like you said as a cop yourself you don’t even pay attention to the color. You just pay attention to laws being broken. I have been pulled over once in my red car by a deputy who is just a grouchy old hag she pulls people over in the same spot every day when i drive through for stupid things. She got me going like 3 mph over she had her lights in before I even finished rounding the corner. The next day she got the person behind me for following to closely but there was plenty of space. I think she’s just an angry deputy

              Most of them are :)

              Honestly, I don't know why some LEO's get such a kick out of making BS stops. I typically give people a 15-17mph grace period before I start writing tickets, and I've only ever written cites for Automobile Following Too Closely during rear end crashes.

                You got that right... She’s probably just extremely bored or pissed off that she is in the area she’s in so just tickets everyone. Seems like thats a lot of paperwork for a BS stop if you ask me.


                What I found funny was she barley walked to my car and just kind of threw my ticket at me. I could of had a gun in my lap or drugs on me and she would of never known.

                  Maybe she wants something else?

                  Perhaps you could have something different in your lap next time? Either way it would be a funny story.

                      Only picture I have, but it shows most of the bad:


                      Hard to see just how bad the tail lights are rear bumper are(also the holes from sheet metal screws holding on everything...), but I'm sure I'll make a thread eventually

                              yes haha it's a DTM tip muffler upside down. Pretty sure it's not on the car now, either way.

                                Both are vibrant shades of each color.


                                Honestly, I'm kinda leaning toward the blue too, but the GF wants a red car as she has fond memories of a crappy little 5 door ZX5 Focus we had years ago. Only had it for about 6 months, but something was always broken!
