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 love how majority of the ppl that say "yes" about the red car dont even drive a red car, only reason i have been pulled over is for speeding over 20+ both times, no ticket, and once for lights in my old red corolla. The look and appearance of the car is more likely to get you pulled over. Same reason why all theses people rev-up to me after i got my rims. nobody reved before that. just my op.
