Is it just me? Or do u find cops to be not as uptight about sports cars and bright colors here in DFW as it seems in other places? I wasn't bothered at all when I had the G35.
To me it just feels like they indiscriminantly hand out tickets here imo?
But it also feels like writing tickets is the only thing cops are really trying to do. Lol
I always see people pulled over in all kinds of cars.

I chalk it up to revenue generation for the county. A ticketed sports car nets the same amount as a ticketed beater. Tax revenue is down due to job losses and foreclosures... they got to make up for it some way.

True, True. I guess the money factor is just so much stronger than profiling and hand picking the stereotypical car to issue a ticket. I've only gotten 1 ticket in my life. And it was in mesquite tx. nov 2007... $243 84mph in a 60mph.
I got a deferred adjudication so I paid it without getting it on my record.
Was able to absolve it by mail.
Hopefully that was my 1st n will be my last ticket.
