Default Another Traffic Stop

Eighteen months with the car and I just got pulled over for the 4th time. Not one resulted in a ticket and all were BS (50 in a 45; alleged unsafe lane change although blinker on, no one cut off, and lane integrity maintained; and believe it or not, 68 in a 65 on a sparsely populated expressway). This time the cop also had to make up a reason for pulling me over. He stated I pulled away too quickly on a light going green. No squeeling tires, not wavering in lane, no speeding--he just didn't like the low end torque of the car in first apparently.
I've owned plenty of sports cars, but none has attracted the attention of the men in blue like this one. Second closest was a Metallic Orange CTS with a stick-twice in two years. Never once pulled over in a two year dd Catera. I have also been pulled over in my Tiger for reasons that only really translate into the cop wanted to see the car.
These guys have got to have something better to do, and while I love the Xfire, there's really no reason for this scrutiny. Just venting.
