You don't even get stopped while speeding and you complain about being profiled?

I still don't quite understand the word "profiled" as people use it on this forum...are people trying to say that police pull them over because the officer just assumes that they are speeding because they are driving a Corvette?...or are people saying that they are speeding but get plucked out of the crowd because the car draws more attention than the others?
It seems like such an odd term to use in either circumstance. Will someone please clarify?

Ryan,
Does it really make a difference? In either case, the attention their getting is unwanted... I personally don't think LEO's give a damn what anyone drives but if there was a pack of cars running together, I'm sure my attention would go to the cool looking bright red sportscar.

PS. Damn it, you were suppose to call me today so I could check on that paint. I was so freakin' busy, I forgot... I'll try to get it done tomorrow. My apologies.

Mark, about the paint...I stopped by the Autozone near your shop tonight. All they had was yellow, silver and black
It's driving me crazy...finding the red duplicolor Kit in Charlotte is way too difficult. I appreciate your willingness to help. I'll just call them periodically. I'm sure it will be in stock sometime. Thanks.

Well, at least you know the game.
