Just thought I'd add my 2c...
I believe that cops definately target types of cars, not poor driving.
I've only owned 4 cars since I started driving.... WB one tonner, VK 5L, corolla and my R34.
Out of all of those I've had the corolla the longest by about 2 years over any other car, have done about 40000 more km's in it than any other, and yet it's the only one I HAVEN'T been pulled over in.
In my ute I got targeted especially on my way home from work on a friday/saturday. The commodore I would have pulled over too, cause it was a heap of shit lol so no probs with that 1. And lucky last my skyline. I got pulled over 3 nights in a row just driving home from my girlfriends place. Doing the speed limit, nothing wrong. Just got the usual "this is a random breath test" and then the rest of the usual crap.
But in 4 years of driving my corolla, day, night, rain, hail and shine.....nothing....
Yeah right they don't target certain types of cars....
