I told my friend a while ago (probably getting closer to a month ago) that I've been seeing a TON of LEO's out lately and he thought I was crazy. That is until we went out to lunch and literally like 2 minutes later drove right past a LEO. He still thought it was just me, but apparently other people are noticing this as well.

The other dude was from Watsonville area, IIRC. Also, both cars had/have carbon fiber front fenders.

I think I just need to trade in the car for a Honda or Hyundai with some gas mileage!

I don't drive fast anymore and into luxury/economy cars.
I don't like hybrids yet, something about that huge battery replacement kinda irks me, and the cost of maintenance.
Sucks being profiled; I hear stories all the time of folks driving other muscle cars with mods that cops don't really know or care to look at, but Subaru's sure have a bad rep.
Unless you drive a legacy, doesn't look as aggressive.

My loud pipes save lives because people are aware I'm coming down the street and don't step out ahead of me. What? It doesn't work that way? Ah damn.

Also, the yellow stickers expire 7/1/2011, so get ready to see a bunch of Prii getting pulled over
i think the new requirement for the new sticker is 70+mpg instead of the old 50+... again, not sure, but i recall hearing something like that.
