Number one I will point out you are stupid.
The color orange on your civic was definitely not stock, you chose to paint your car for the sole purpose of gaining attention. There is no other reason of why you should have your vehicle BRIGHT orange, unless you are a damn city worker.
You chose to make your car bright orange, thus drawing attention.
Black people were born that way. I agree black people stand out when it comes to a crime but that is a whole other issue and argument. You chose your car to be bright orange -> thus you will be pulled.
Your car is getting attention and you are being pulled because you are dumb. Your car is bright orange, it's also a civic. They have this movie out called "The Fast and the Furious (one and two)" which depicts kids in vehicles exactly like this racing around town like idiots. You are living out the same stereo type as one of the morons in this movie down to the dot. Cops love to pull you over, they know you have altered suspension, exhaust, you're young, you have a problem argueing and defying authority. You are an easy target. They know that if they slip up and say something they can slap you with fraudulent inspection sticker tickets, exhaust tickets, suspension, air intake, just about anything they want.
Now let's put this into the equation as well -> they have more time to pull you over -> meaning there is less crime in this area. Do they REALLY need to be out chasing murderers and rapists all the time? There isn't a rape and murder every second of the day, but there are idiots like you driving around on the high ways with a huge "PULL ME" sign hanging above your head looking blatantly obvious. Please do not tell me you take this car to the strip and bitch about getting pulled there.
You chose to make your car that color, you chose to draw attention, please stop your bitching. You got a ticket for your idiocy, deal with it.
Hey genius. Re-read his post. He didn't get a ticket. His car is also registered in Georgia. I am not entirely sure how that would work from state to state as far as car mods, but show me where it says that he needs a state inspection sticker for VA when he is from GA. Also, now I am not sure about this, but where does it say that an intake that is other then stock is illegal? I haven't seen that, but I guess a law like that could exist.
Lastly, his car is bright orange, true. He choose a car with that color, true. He should be condemed to an endless string of tickets for it. FALSE!!! By your line of thought, any and all brightly colored cars should be pulled over. Take a look at some of the cars that manufacters have been spitting out over the past few years. Bright yellow Integras, Mustangs, and Corvettes are everywhere. Nissan paints Xterras yellow as well. Nissan also paints a lot of there cars BRIGHT ORANGE!!!! As does Mazda. I could keep going, but the point is, just because his car is a bright color doesn't mean he needs to be pulled over. Granted, bright cars do make easier targets because they stand out. However, what you have described is also profiling. Police profile everyone, even though they aren't supposed to. His car is just an easy target. I guess he shouldn't complain if he gets pulled because his car does draw a considerable amount of attention, but at the same time don't damn everyone with a bright car with an arguement like "bright colors are for city workers". Bright colors are for anyone who wants them.
