Mark VIII Cop Magnet?

I don't get it, but that's probably because I'm not too car mechanics-savvy...
Is this asking if the MarkVIII is a Cop Magnet, or is this referring to a Coil-On-Plug magnet of some sort?
 
No, it's a Lincoln, so you can get away with much more than in a "Type-R" anything or a Mustang. Geez, back when I owned a Mustang, police always followed me. Now, in my Mark VIII, nothing.
 
I speed almost all the time and I passed cops and speed traps and should have been stopped but nothing yet!
 
My 98 LSC seems to be a cop magnet, maybe i've just been unlucky though.
 
Only been pulled over once for speeding and not wearing a seatbelt. But I speed around town all the time, loud stereo, and no mufflers, and cops don't seem to pay much attention.
 
Luckily mine isn't.....yet..lol She doesnt get out much being that we don't have a plate for it :p But we take it out for he occasional "RUN" up and down the main roads

mines not. but it doesnt matter what you drive. if you attract negative attention to yourself it doesnt matter what it islll theyll get you.

mustangs and hondas have a rep for having drivers like that so they tend to be watched more closely.
 
The driver also matters. Put an 18 year old kid behind the wheel with purple hair, he's gonna get pulled over alot more then the 40 year old with the corporate haircut
 
Id say stock no,

but if you have half your exhaust cut off (me) it increases the watch by a little.

Ive been pulled over 8 times, tickets on 2 occasions, first ticket no insurance card, second ticket no license plates.

Im guessing me bieng 17 plays a big role in the reason cops pull me over as well

I'm guessing NOT HAVING LICENSE PLATES had a lot to do with it too.
 
I didnt mean no licence plates, i meant no front licence plate lol.

The cop was kind of an ass about it to, I was giving him full respect and I completly understood why he pulled me over. but the deal was that a car wash i went through earlier ripped the threads out of the bracket, and i couldnt get it back on their. Oh well atleast i dont have purple hair
 
i got pulled over doing 130 and the cop told me that he had been trying to catch up since he got on the freeway 6 miles back (he had one of the new impalas) then he told me that that was the first time he was able to really open up the car since he got it (was a local cop on route to somewhere else not a highway patrol) told me he used to drive a mark VIII told me that mine looked very clean and to keep it on the road and let me go

double the speed limit is loss of driving for a year at least

come on I started driving Lincolns so I wouldn't get even a 2nd look form the Cops .
 
i have bought two marks so far, and have been pulled over driving home from where i bought them both times. no joke. this is in northern california.

i have got a total 3 speeding tickets all going within 10 mph of speed limit, and stopped a couple more times and let go. all within the past two years.

i have never been stopped in my durango, honda, or chevy truck.

my thoughts are that they dislike the car because it is similar to some of theirs if not better.
 
I got pulled over for no reason what so ever and the cops pulled out the dog and searched my car.....
 
Stupid me desided to attract cops!! When you turn the looks of a car a bit then the cops love following me..
