Just picked up my new coupe yesterday. Before I get flamed for the laser red/wheat color combo (which seems to be rather unpopular), the '02 Saab Aero I traded in was also laser red, as is my company's logo. So it's not just the coolest ride I've ever owned, it's also a branding statement :-)

Good to be "on board" with you all! Looking forward to meeting fellow Boston-area owners in the coming months.

Why would you get flamed? I like that combo better than graphite or whatever they are calling it these days.

 

Congrats to you on your absolutely beautiful looking G. That ride is gorgeous. I trust you are having a great time with with new ride.

. . . And welcome to the boards.

 

Red is hard, I want Red on my next car.

 

beautiful car and welcome

 

It's good to hear from others who also like this color. My reason for mentioning flaming is the majority of posts here are from more "conventional" color owners. Plus, a color popularity survey on I saw (maybe on 6MT.net) had LR in next to last place. Anyway, I like the view that the car itself is so awesome, any color (even IP :-) is great.

very nice ride, but if it was my ride, id make sure i got rid of that "thing" off the sunroof

 

cop bait

 

I've heard plenty about how red cars attract more speeding citations. I drove a laser red Saab Aero for 50K miles these past few years before trading up to my G35 6MT (which is *way* better). No tickets whatsoever, yet I pushed it over 100 more than a few times, and consistently (but with full awareness) drove over the limit. I always felt that I stood out on the highway, but kept my eyes open. The Infiniti salesman who had the good fortune of meeting me when I walked in to buy had done some research on that very subject (he said). He said the statistics are skewed by young drivers (I am no longer in that category). Maybe that's why I've managed to avoid tickets (knock on wood here). Not sure. I have never owned a radar detector - my view is they encourage reckless speeding and thoughts of invulnerability. Any thoughts?
