I just can't believe that a soccer mom car is the number one cop magnet. Maybe they are in a hurry to get to the grocery store. :-)

Funny, my car is the least; one of the reasons I bought it... :-)

Least Ticketed Cars
1. Jaguar XJ

The Jaguar XJ gives drivers a smooth ride and an opulent interior. As the least- ticketed car in America, it also seems to provide the ability to fly under radar guns. There's a feature they won't tell you about at the dealership.

There might be something to that list.

Last month I was a passenger in a Chevy Tahoe and the yellow traffic light turned red just before he entered the intersection and there was a State Patrol waiting for the green.

The State Patrol car got in his lane and closed at a high rate of speed and caught up to us as we stopped for the next light.

The officer sat behind us for a minute or so and then went around us and pulled into a store across the street.

My friend deserved a ticket and had been caught red handed, yet didn't even get pulled over. Guess a Tahoe full of bald guys just isn't worth the trouble:-)

Silly premise ... cops don't pull over cars to look at them, they pull over people who break the law. People who routinely break the law may be attracted to certain types of cars, but it isn't the car's fault it is pulled over.

very simple really - he would have ran the plates - a clean driving record speaks VOLUMES.....

Now, if your buddy had a history of speeding or minor traffic violations....another story completely

Frankly,
I am so, so tired of being pulled over just because my car "looks fast".
That is just plain BS and I have had it.
Just took a photo of it as I am getting rid of it.

Love the XJ, my wife and I have a Type-X, your car's little brother.:-)

LOL... my car is #2... nice

I picked a dark red color though that doesn't stand out hardly at all.

Never had a problem with it... knock on wood.

Actually never been pulled over period... knock on wood. I tend to drive the speed limit a lot though.

I am serious when I say my very first car was an AMC Pacer back in the early 80's, beofr Wayne's World was even thought of.

It was recently voted worst car of all time, but it served me just fine.

No wonder we hit it off in Orlando.
I had it's worse car cousin, the Gremlin!!!:-):-):-)
That was my first car too.

My best friend drove a Gremlin. My Pacer had dents in the interior roof from me going over large speed bumps in NJ and whacking my head on the roof.

The thing had no shocks.

The back hatch provided plenty of room for those tender teen dating moments at the drive in though.....
