I am thinking about buying a yellow RX8 today! Does anyone have experience with yellow being a cop magnet? Please advise me. Thanks for any kind feedback.
NEVER MIND. The dealer is horrible and lost the sale from me, so I will be getting the blue one in a week or so whenever it comes in. If you want details go to: NW rx8 Forum, Titled "RON TONKIN BAD!"
P.S. Thanks for the feedback gentlemen.:D

Don't know about cops but I test drove a yellow one yesterday and it is a head turner. Great color, just shows dirt. I will guess that the cops will see you:D :D

I owned a yellow car before. I don't remember ever getting a ticket while the car was yellow. However, I did get a lot of tickets when the car was red.

omg yah, there's almost a swarm around my car every morning :O maybe the yellow reflects UV or something.
as far as cops go, most just kinda glance at me, then go back to what they were doing, yeah it sorta gets their attention but not like, wow that guy has a yellow car and im gonna nail him just cause he has the audacity to roll around in something so obnoxiously bright.
