I've been in the market for a miata for a while now and I've found one I really like. Problem is, its red. I've always had white/black/aquamarine (my '64 impala) cars. I'm concerned that I'll get more attention from the po-po with a red car. Anyone care to comment? i drive real fast here in dallas, but the cops are pretty laid back about speeding, they have better things to do. When I'm on long road trips I'm usually doing 5-15 over if the conditions are good and traffic isn't bad.

I say red is bad- when i owend my yellow focus i never got pulled over once in the 2 years i had it, and i drove like a maniac seeing that i had just got my license when i got that car. Now Ive had my celica since august and ive been pulled over 5 times, and only one time was resonable- doing 70 in a 50... all the others were bullsh*t reasons where the cops only gave me warnings seeing that 2 mph over is so important to pull me over for....
