this car and winter dont mix i think...it'll be a lot like the Porsche that guy was driving in Just Friends...can u imagine chains around those 19" tires!

nogoodname 07-21-2009 07:50 PM

ok, chain on tires are illegal here.

we're not hill billies LOL

rear wheel drive is not bad in winters, its not all about the car. it's about the driving skills !!!

Do you have any idea how ludicrous that question is?

red cars seems like they get pulled over more because as said it attracts or gets the attention the most
red in general just catches the eye
in a parking lot(and or freeways) in a crowd of black/silver/green cars
bright colors will stand out

so if youre one of the lucky ones with a bright color car cops will notice you more and your SOL if your doing something stupid like speeding

I'd have to agree with him. I'd also like to see this statistic about "colored" cars being pulled over more frequently. Why does there have to be so much hate against us "colored" folk?! :stirthepot:

LOL! My insurance never asked for the color of my car. Just make/model/VIN. I've owned two red cars, silver, grey, and now a yellow one, so i would have to say that is completely false.

I had a red 944 Turbo, and I basically got harassed by the cops. It was ridiculous. I had one pull me over and admitted he had no reason to, but he just wanted to make sure all my tags were up to date. Total BS!

Obviously your not going to get pulled over because your car is red, if you had kept reading you would have realized the point i was making was that the car is extremely visible down the road, and if you were doing something THAT WOULD GET YOU PULLED OVER you would probably get pulled over. Does that clear things up, or what?
