Everyone wants a car that blends in so that they are less of a target for cops.
Part of why I drive a Volvo.
If you see a Volvo speeding you think "Gee, that doctor must be in a big hurry"
For most of us, that is not a concern at all.
It should be a concern for literally anyone in America right now. Unless you're white and actively licking boots, you're a target.
Sounds about white.
I'm white and OP has hella privilege if they've never been concerned about cops targeting them. They were all over my ass in the 90s for having long hair and driving beaters. They'd lock on and follow until they had an excuse.
That's apparently apocryphal. The rate of pullover tracks with the most common car color (currently white). Driver behavior (speeding, illegal turning, etc) and other outstanding features (lapsed registration, broken tail light) are the most common proximate causes for a pull over.
Not me! I'll take a flashy sports car over a boring beige box any day of the week.
"Mr. Moneybags"? LMAO I can easily name 5 excellent, reliable sports cars you can use as a daily driver for under $10K:
My GTI was good at hiding from cops until I got my exhaust.
Worth it.
Oh, that'd be an interesting study I'd read about! Any sociology majors out there who need a thesis? lol
Everyone wants a car that blends in so that they are less of a target for ~~cops~~ predators.
Race red mustang gt. I'll take the heat off y'all.
