On another note, it would be awesome if the Reventon was actually designed with stealth technology in mind, and would be invisible to radar
they are working on a radar absorbing paint. biggest problem to disrupting radar waves is the angles on which they hit. the paint wont be able to do as much as the angles.

I don't think color really matters that much, more so if you have a tint

Any car that looks like a 16yr old would enjoy gets the cops attention. Especially if a 16 year old is driving.

How about this, get 50 random cities/towns spread throughout the USA and go through a year of their citations... blah

That is a sampling bias like I have never seen!

You don't need to have your car registered somewhere to get a ticket there. That is just dumb.

Come on down to FL and say that, where 99.99% of the cars on the road have "illegal tint" including the cops.

I guess it depends on what other car colors are around you. I was driving in my ocean blue a4 doing the same speed (65 limit but doing over 65) as the other cars with rather neutral color and I was the one pulled over by the chp.

I guess I was the colorful seal in the ocean and the shark likes a blue ocean.
