Too bad there aren't any stats for just getting pulled over. Based on personal experience I'd have to say white corvettes. I'm a fu*king cop magnet! Probably five (5) times in 10k miles. Which works out since we get along so well . . .

Interesting. Guys have higher insurance rate because they speed yet if you look at the breakdown other than the Hummer they other cars are dominated by women. Very interesting. :boggled:

That's why I got a ticket in mine, trying to outrun the stigma of a chick car :sm_up_there:

Hummer H2 is no surprise. I saw one driving last night, it was lifted and the license plate was WSTNGAS. I'm surprised a Prius driver hasn't keyed the car...

I've been pulled over 3 or 4 times as much in my Vette than my Neon, and I drive it about 1/7th as much.

But I've been ticketed twice as much in my Neon.

I think cops like to pull the Vette over just because they want to chat and have a look.

Two of mine were for speeding, one of which was complete horseshit. The other times were for nitpicky things. The nicest cop of the bunch was the one who pulled me over for actually speeding and wrote me down for a speed much lower than I was doing. (I was practicing my shifting on the freeway late at night. I told him the truth and I think he thought it was funny. He could have hauled me away.) One was okay. The others were pricks.

Have had the Camaro 11+ years.. 2 warnings when deserved big tickets, 1 time I turned and lost a motorcycle cop who had to turn around at the next light.
Had my Tc 3 yrs and got 2 tickets. One on the I 10 going to Phoenix past Indio @ 85mph, other in town, 45 in a 35.
