Drove my first 6 speed .... WOW!!!
#21

Karma, or, may be just driving cars in colors that do not attract much attention ? my 944s were silver and another in sand, the 968 is blue.. bet you if I paint it red I'll get pulled over <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/dry.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />



anybody out there with a guards red 968 that can validate or dismiss that commonly held theory ?





not only that, 20 years+ with a Euro front license plate and I was stopped only once for that <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/smile.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

i actually used that theroy to my advantage for quite a while - my mg was so red and so loud, and i was always driving like a lunatic, that my guess is the cops figured i was either nuts and/or dangerous, or i was so squeaky clean it was rather pointless to bug me



little known fact - yellow is actually the color most readily and easily seen by the human eye - not red

I've never been pulled over in my 968. In my prior 944 life, I was pulled over in my Guards Red coupe once, and I think it did have something to do with the color. I was in the middle of 4-5 lanes of traffic, moving the same speed as everyone else, and the cop picked me out. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/dry.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/mad.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />
