Is your car a cop target?

[Dragger_Dan]

Now I realise that most people say that it isn't the car, that it's the driver that attracts the police. But some cars do get a bit of a bad rep with the police and are more prone to being targeted. So here's a little questionare for everyone, fill it out for yourself and we'll see how we go.
