There is no way i would want to sell my skyline, if you drive sensibly on the public roads, and appropriately for conditions you would have to be real unlucky to be the innocent victim of an overzealous police force.
The last couple of times people have annoyed me on the road(tailgating) i ve been in a sh*tbox i borrowed while my skyline is in the shop-so f*ck the prius. Even if your doing 5 kms over the limit some wank in a 6litre falcadore wants your piece of road anyway. No one seems to want to get that close to my bumper in the skyline maybe they are worried about the cable ties holding it on.
my point is everyone gets stereo-typed for the car they drive, and the media is always going to play on these stereo-types and in turn the police are pressured to act.
