[DeTomaso] Red Cars - Yellow Cars

[Kirby Schrader]

Years ago, when taking a defensive driving course as part of the
company's safety program, it turns out that the instructor was none
other than a retired Texas DPS officer.

Question was asked... "When 10 cars are speeding, what do you do? You
can't pull them all over!"

His reply: "Just turn on the lights and siren and someone always feels
guilty and pulls over."

What if nobody pulls over?

"Stop the red car."

What if there's no red car?

"Stop the black car. There's always a red car or a black car in a group."

At that point, I vowed to never have a red or black car.
Haven't gotten a ticket since then.

:-)

I guess, based on that premise, yellow is acceptable!
Mine is silver.

FWIW,
Kirby
