    VX's are they or aren't they Cop magnet's ??

    The reason I am asking is I have been pulled over like 3 times in the last 3 months, every time with a half-assed warning about something really minor.Yesterday, the cop pulls me over for speeding and then admits the school bus was going as fast as me, meaning even the school bus was with the flow of traffic as I was. The mofo made me late for work though. He even said something about my 8 in LCD screen, and it is illegal if in plays video, It does but I said it dosen't. Truthfully, I never use it unless I think I might be stuck waiting a long time parked somewhere. But I do have surround sound in there, and Empire strikes back was awful cool when I had to camp out for tickets once in the VX.But do any of you get an extra look (because of the VX you suspect) from the fuzz?

    yea my vx seems to attract a bit of attention.. been pulled over a few times... granted one of those times i would have been pulled over in a toyota camry.. i was HAULIN.. but other than that ive been pulled over for not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign... once for not having my overhead lights covered

    i have actually never been pulled over in my VX. i used to get pulled over all the time with my other cars, but i have sped by many cops and been like "aww S@!%". but the cops never chased me.

    I'm usually a fairly "agressive" driver - average around 85 (when not in rush hour traffic) in 55 MPH zones, and have only been pulled over once for speeding (speed trap in south Georgia - was in a line of 11 cars all going the same speed, all got pulled over). Of course, here in Atlanta I've had cops pass me while I was doing 85 in a 55, so my experience is probably not typical. There are so many fast cars here that I don't think the VX is too unusual, especially with so many rice-rockets (kids trying to recreate scenes from "the fast and the furious").
