Matte Saffron Yellow Wrap R1S

[Hereforthesnacks]

No cop is pulling you over because your SUV (that they can afford) is brightly colored. Also do you think they won't notice the giant 7k pound vehicle speeding if it's white or black?

Of all the cars I most endorse getting bold with SUV colors. Tone down sportscars, go bold with SUVs.

Nice wrap OP!

Well, the cops I know 100% say they catch brightly colored cars first. It’s why your insurance goes up when you have a red car or a bright car. Those insurance nerds crunch the numbers!

Living in fear is easy! What about actually LIVING! ?

lol I wouldn’t call it fear. I’d call it…well…just not needing the negative attention. I’ll leave it at that.

Almost as good as the original.

Like that's it's an R1S so that it can be tied to a great song. "Her yellow SUV is now the enemy."

My 2nd car when I was young was a 1976 SAAB 99 with this color! All the girls loved it..thought it was "cute" ?

You'd think with the internet, and Google/Gemini/ AI becoming more ubiquitous this confidently incorrect nonsense would cease, but here we are.

Good sir, please search your claims before making them:

I know it's not cool to trust the AI on this stuff, but the great thing about it is it comes with sources, so search for yourself and click those little linky guys immediately right of each claim. Each one has multiple sources cited alongside it.

FWIW: I've seen this entire thing debunked literal decades ago, personally. But instead of adding anecdote, I figured I'd bring some data for you. Enjoy.



Also, OP: CONGRATS on having a fantastic looking vehicle!

I know everyone is commenting on the wrap, I just want to say that what you did with your wheels looks really good too.

Thank you! I vinyled out certain parts myself, wanting some silver to still pop on C pillars, hood and roof.

Too lazy to pull mine out of the garage. But hello from roadsign yellow.

Yep, this article also busts the myth that red gets more tickets. But hidden in the middle of it confirms that all colors except WHITE get more tickets.
But if I have to take an occasional hit to drive a cooler car, I'm ok with it.
YMMV

OP-I think colour choice is a personal taste/preference. While I stick to "normal" colours I do admire others that are adventurous and are not afraid to mix it up. so, good on you mate!

Last ticket I recall was in my red Kia, in 2016. I accept this as evidence, using Mark Twain's time-tested method from Life on the Mississippi:

"The Mississippi between Cairo and New Orleans was twelve hundred and fifteen miles long one hundred and seventy-six years ago. . . . Its length is only nine hundred and seventy-three miles at present. Now, if I wanted to be one of those ponderous scientific people, and “let on” to prove what had occurred in the remote past by what had occurred in a given time in the recent past . . . what an opportunity is here! Geology never had such a chance, nor such exact data to argue from! . . .
In the space of one hundred and seventy-six years the Lower Mississippi has shortened itself two hundred and forty-two miles. That is an average of a trifle over one mile and a third per year. Therefore, any calm person, who is not blind or idiotic, can see that in the Old Oolitic Silurian Period, just a million years ago next November, the Lower Mississippi River was upwards of one million three hundred thousand miles long, and stuck out over the Gulf of Mexico like a fishing-rod. And by the same token any person can see that seven hundred and forty-two years from now the lower Mississippi will be only a mile and three-quarters long. . . . There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact."
