Makes them happy! Never have gotten speeding ticket when I do that, and tell the truth!

Police love giving tickets to sports car owners, based on past experience. Now that I drive a truck, they don't ever stop me.

Gotta agree with you there JKJ... When I had the 1992 Camaro with very dark tint, I was stopped several times for no reason at all.... especially at night. They were just wanting to know who was in that car at midnight. Interesting. Told me I had a tail light out... got home... not tail light out. No warning or ticket... they just wanted to know who was in the car and where I had been.

In other cars.. no problem.

Hi Whipsaw, Thank you for the very nice compliment!!

Thanks to all of you for the very nice compliments!!! I am really enjoying the car. Every time I walk up and see it to get in, it brings a BIG smile to my face and moments of happiness. I neglected to take my baby to be washed yesterday (worked late), but I am going to take good care of him today.

I know material things can't make anyone truly happy like true love, but I will take what I can!

I sincerely hope you are all having a joyful day--- and Best Wishes to everyone on your investments!!!!!!!

Be glad its not red. Most red sports cars come with a ticket book. Already paid! Just tear out one and hand it to the nice officer and keep moving!

Yup, LOL. Appearance means a lot to LE.

Bought a red and white ’81 mustang. 4 banger, automatic, CA specs. Produced about 28HP. I mean if you floored it in N or P it wouldn’t even rev quickly. Got stopped a lot in that car. Took it to Scotland and was warned by the local PC to keep my velocity at the law. He was impressed by the 2.3L engine. If only he knew.

Bought an Escort GT when I returned to the states. (local Ford dealer wanted the mustang badly for some reason) Cute, plastic cladding, four banger and not fast. It was red. Got stopped a lot. No tickets or reason ever given.

Gave that to my kid and bought a 91 GMC Sonoma 4.3 auto. Fastest thing I’d owned in a while. Cruise all day at 95 and burn rubber when shifting to second at half throttle. Never got stopped while driving it.

Possibly some truth to profiling pertaining to vehicles?

Enjoy the Challenger DBA.

Kinda like how babies are attracted to shiny objects. Not much thought goes into it.

They don't stop anyone around here... If you want to speed, come to Hampton Roads, VA... the locals and State Troopers don't care... as evidenced by the lack of police stops and all the speeders... Anecdotal of course
