• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Do Red Spyders get more Ticikets?

Im a firm beleiver red cars get pulled over by cops more often but let me hear from owners of red spyders- do you get pulled over alot?
 
IMO most cops rely on the radar which is color blind. If the cop is dirty then the color might play. I have bright yellow, and a radar det. nothing yet. And a red BMW no tickets there in 3 years.
 
My wife was going to get a parking ticket, but the metermaid didn't have a selection on her tablet for a Spyder, so the metermaid said, "Have a nice day" and went to the next vehicle. So much for technology.:2thumbs:
 
Well since red is the fastest color, it's only stands to reason that we get the most tickets.:thumbup:
 
:popcorn: Curious too but more because the spyder speedo is 2 or more mph slower than actual( see other threads about slower than GPS). :p:hun:
 
I guess my F3 is technically red (looks orange to me) but have had no problems. Also had 2 red Miata's and currently have a red Scion FRS with no tickets on any. I actually was watched a lot more in our MR2 spyder that was yellow.
 
In all my years of riding (off and on since 1968) I've only been pulled over once. And that was on a blue bike. Never on my Spyder.
 
In 15 years here in AK--never been pulled over or given a ticket.

I got pulled over in MN once on my Venture in the 80's. The HP guy wanted to look at my Yosemite Sam mud flap.

My 2 Spyders and my 2 Dodge trucks and my 4 Ford trucks were all 2 mph slower than actual speed
I believe manufacturers do that deliberately

I understand there is a legal percentage range they can operate within , but with all the tech they could try to at least make them match:dontknow:
