Default Cops and pickups

I got my 2008 ram 1500 4x4 slt last month, and one of the best things about being in the Dodge family is finding you guys here on this site.
I keep getting wiser with each visit, and there is ALWAYS an answer to my question somewhere here.
I've noticed the local blue bloods taking a shine to my wheels whenever i'm out posing, eyeballing me hard like their trying to melt my windshield.
Is this now a part of my Ram life? Does having a black truck make me dangerous? If the answer is 'yes' - then i'm getting another one!

This is your question???

Welcome to DF. Lots of good info and Mods that stop the B.S., so no crazy stuff...lol
Owning a Ram in general makes you dangerous. It's what's on the inside that counts. it's not the color of your skin......lmao

Cops droolbecause it's the style they like. A Big Sharp Sexy truck...hehe

You have a nice truck, the cops were probably just admiring it. If you have a nice truck, you'll get alot of looks whereever you go by all kinds of people. Don't sweat it, I think they got better things to do then to single you out because of your truck.

If you drive a nice truck they are going to stare....Most cops want a truck so anything nicer than what they drive makes them look....Loud exhaust doesnt help though

Cops usually look for the ricers to pull over or beat up cars unless you decide to put everyone's safety in danger on the road. If you are doing nothing wrong, you have nothing to worry about.

red cars are prone to being pulled over.

if your a young kid, then they're hating and wondering how you afforded it. are you sitting on some huge wheels?

otherwise, like the other guy said dont act suspiscious
