I used to dismiss threads like this, since no car can draw the police everywhere....well, I was wrong. While living in the DFW area, and after buying the XFire, in Jan 2005, I was stopped by State, County, and City police. No tickets. One verbal warning, one apology (he thought my registration was expired), and one written warning from the HP officer. Plus, several occasions of being followed by the unmarked traffic enforcement cars on I-35, while driving home.

I sold the XFire when we decided to move back North after I retired. I was concerned about the lack of technical experience and parts problems in the middle of fly over country, otherwise I would have kept her until the wheels fell off.

I bought a Mustang GT/CS, 5sp, Black/Black, and drove 1200 miles North two days later. No stops, no warnings, nothing. It has been two years now, and still no stops. Unbelievable. And, for that I would like to thank the XFire drivers who are keeping the police occupied as I drive by.
