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

Most of the police I see do stare as I drive by, but I've never been pulled over in the VX. And not that I do much speeding in any of my vehicles any more anyway, but I consider the VX my "Leisure Craft", so I'm usually taking it pretty easy when I drive it anywhere.

I was at a red light and a cop turned left on the green and stopped at my drivers window, he proceeded to say the usual "nice car... never seen one..."
We chatted for less than a minute - cool. Was even more fun when the light went green halfway through our conversation and no one made a peep or honked a horn, even though we were stopping traffic in two lanes both ways for 10-20 seconds.

Never been harassed, but I did get a photo radar ticket 15 minutes from home after a 14 hour drive from Chicago when I first bought the VX. A sort of christening I guess... Identification on the ticket was BLACK SUV, no make or model given.

Got 1 speeding ticket, but it was my fault. Other than that never had a problem.

Been stopped three times this year...

Once on the way to Moab somewhere in SD

Once in Fargo after I returned

Once in Moorhead MN about a month ago...

I was clearly doin' sumthin I shouldn't oughta in all three instances

Result: All three times I got off with a good "talkin' to"

She might be a cop magnet, but also a good luckmobile.

Ldub, you lucky dog! I've NEVER gotten out of a speeding ticket. I figure it's one of the drawbacks of being a guy (no offense intended)
Yea, I know it's sexist but 90% of the people I know who've gotten out of tickets are women, imagine that...
I want to respect cops but when they do crap like give preferential treatment to ladies and then blatantly speed themselves ALL THE TIME, it's hard to
Got two tickets in a Plymouth Duster, a ticket in a Fiero GT, and a ticket in an Alfa GTV-6, all I deserved except for the Alfa simply b/c I was going 45 around a curve when the speed limit was 45, the cop even wrote the speed limit down on the ticket as "@ 45" in a 45, there was a yellow caution sign about the curve but the speed limit was still 45, I wasn't over the double yellow and I wasn't squealing tires, the caution sign was only for 35mph, last I checked yellow signs meant advisory and suggested speed, what a crock!
Thankfully, I've been ticket-free in the VX, it gets such bad gas mileage I tend to not drive it fast anyway

[Chopper]

Nope...not in this one. Course I live in "Hazzard" and fix all the cop cars Explains a lot

LOL...I think when they catch me doing something stupid, then come up to my window & see a scruffy lookin' middle aged man driving...It's like, this old dude is my dads age, he probably just forgot he's not sixteen any more.

And the last incident I mentioned, the Officer was a cute little she cop, so sometimes it works both ways.
(my passenger said afterwards that he saw her blush, though I don't remember saying anything that should have caused that response)

I got only one ticket since i have my VX, knock on wood . I was in New York, Times Square and i stopped on the crosswalk to ask for dirrection. I stopped for 3 min only with my 4 ways on and out of nowhere cop pulled over behind me without any lights and came up to me and said ONLY 2 words, license and registration, then walk away and came back and gave me a ticket and just walked away without saying have a nice day or anything at all. I was so pissed off that day. I know i shouldnt be stopping there but still he could be nicer and give me a warning or something.

Looks like I take the VX ticket cake with a "speed contesting of a highway". My reward.... silver bracelets, 5 points, and traffic school. Dont try this at home kids. Live and learn, the hard way.

At least I won the race.

EDIT: Oh ya, and a few years before that, I got one for like 75 in a 55 on my way to the beach. Labor Day weekend, so I should have known better. But we get old and wise in our old age, so I am now like a slow, silent ninja on the roadways.
