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.

They bother kids that have tricked out rides more. As far as the yellow focus goes, I would think that a yellow car stands out more than red...
I have a red celi now and I speed a little bit, listen to my system pretty loudly and have had no trouble. You seem like a responsible guy, so I really don't see any problems unless you are doing something that really deserves to get you pulled over. Besides, red is not really a color that stands out as much these days, there are a lot more red cars now then there used to be. This post has been edited by Ghost: Jan 18, 2004 - 3:19 PM |
