San Diego Housing Bubble News and Analysis

Age of the driver is probably the dominant factor, Very few 19 year olds driving Buicks and very few 60 year olds driving Scions. Ticketing is different with the aid of technology, the days of red sports cars getting the attention of the cops are over. Those cars on the list aren't being singled out by the cops, the folks that buy those cars are more likely to speed and those cars posess the ability to go faster. When you see a cop parked waiting for speeders he doesn't even watch the road most of the time, the radar unit is programmed to sound an alarm when a car goes by at a certain speed, modern units can track all cars in either direction, even when the cop car is moving, they can track the speed of oncoming traffic as well. When one goes by at a speed that it is set at (ie. 80 on the freeway or 40 on residential) the alarm goes off, cop looks up and the ticket gets issued. Get whatever car you want, just don't speed and you will be fine.

Lets see here ---

Hummer H2/H3 463% Rediculous ride with spinners usually or a lift - if I was a cop I would ticket them for being clowns.
Scion tC 460% I can take a guess at the driver on these
Scion XB 403% Same as above
Mercedes Benz CLK63 AMG
397% Whoever drives an AMG really doesnt care about tickets.
Toyota Solara Cp 306% --What?! really, again What?
Mercedes CLS63AMG 276% See previous AMG comment
Scion xA 275% See anything called a scion
Subaru Outback 266% If this is the 4 door, turbosized Fast and furious model, sure - add some neon and nitrous and you have yourself a RRocket.
Audi A4 264% This seems to be the mod-car as of late, esp the turbo engines.
Toyota Matrix 264% No comment

The least ticketed are old people rides or soccer mom rides. The soccer moms should get ticketed for being morons - they dont stop at any red lights nor have ever heard of an earpiece for the cellys.

You may be confusing Outback with Impreza. Outback is a sedentiary AWD wagon/SUV crossover, popular among outdoors/offroad types, especially in snow states.

Esmith - yes I did - my bad. How is a hippy wagon on that list?

I can't believe my good fortune. I recently bought a 2000 Jaguar XJ8. Looks like I can save my money for things other than speeding tickets.

Unfortunately, considering it's a jag product, you're going to be paying up the nose in repairs.

The red Solara is probably driven by adventurous young women, but the hippy wagon has got me stumped.

I call bullshit on the Subaru Outback. I have never seen one speed. Ever.
