The day I have to cross off bright red from my next car purchase choice will be the day I get the Uber app.
All i know is the blue color stands out to me and I would love to have one! |
I think it depends on the city too. When I first moved, there was a toll highway I would use and one time a cop was just waiting on the ramp. I went on the ramp with some other cars and the cop started following me even though I was going the speed limit and everyone else was passing me. They tailed me for a good 5-10 minutes before giving up. On my way back, I'm not sure if it was the same cop but they did it again but for < 5 minutes then gave up.

I have had similar situations where they tail for no apparent reason other then the color.

I've been driving this big red SUV the last few months and never had a cop problem, as well as my other bright red cars.:rollingla

Maybe they were just like, "Eh, it's just a gray Honda." |
