We made the top 10 least ticketed cars list!

Post by futureviber »

http://www.vehix.com/articles/...-carsIt's cause our cars are so awesome they don't wanna mess with us! Edit: OK My bad... i found the real thread about this... i saw that it said most ticketed but didnt read all the way through it. please forgive me and delete this at your discretion. It is hilarious that the Matrix is #10 most ticketed and Vibe is #10 least ticketed!

Here, minor road violations have no bearing on how much government run insurance costs me... But with surcharges and levies and taxes and fees and the fines themselves, one must use all availible techniques to avoid the fuzz!!!

No offense to you young ones, but I rather enjoy seeing you guys fly by me on the expressway and then a few miles up seeing a cop parked behind you.The cops in the Flint area used to fly small planes noting the time it took for people to drive between marked areas on I-75. Ah, the good old days.

Well, I don't know about your Vibes, but in my case 108hp + AWD = No Speeding. But I'm not complaining; besides being one the least ticketed vehicles, it's consistently one of the least stolen too. That makes for good insurance rates.

I have gotten warnings and tickets for things like window tint, no front license plate, etc. but none of those went on my record, so I'm 26 and my insurance is super cheap as well. It's been 5 years since I've been pulled over. I don't forsee getting pulled over in the Vibe either so that's always a plus. I like my money in my bank account, not in the hands of the state, they already get enough of my money .

I'm in it for the gas mileage, not for getting from point A to point B in the shortest possible time. I get a twisted satisfaction from knowing that I'm getting 32-35 miles per gallon while the SUV blowing past me is only getting 16-18. Heck, I got 25-27 pulling a trailer with the Vibe.
