It's a reference to the main Zeon ace from the original Mobile Suit Gundam, Char. His suit was three times faster than a normal Zaku, but the only visible difference was the red color.

I do believe that it was the origin of da red wunz being fasta. It's also why Ferrari cars are mostly red.

Also why having a red car increases your insurance.

Orkish insurance agents. I always figured as much.

I thought the red-car-insurance thing was because red makes people more aggressive, leading to more accidents...

I thought it was because red is eye catching and people tend to steer towards what they are looking at unconsciously.

Red cars have higher insurance rates because they statistically have a higher accident rate. The reason for the higher rate is unimportant.

The reason is the same as it always is. Da. Red. Uns. Go. Fastah.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

But is it really stealing when it's Orks? If you can't defend it, it's up for grabs.

Well, Lootas are considered thieves by most other orks, mainly because they nick everything. The Deathskull clan are thieves as their sort of shtick.

Quote
However, Lootas are also very open-minded about their posessions. If an Ork is skilled enough to be able to steal anything from a Loota, he won't claim his posession (at least not when the thief is looking) - he stole it fairly, after all. Some Lootas insist that 'sharin' is an essential part of Ork Kultur, but most Orks insist that Lootas are a bunch of thieving skumbags, with no more honour than a baked squig.

It's a myth.

Not according to my insurance agent. Color of car was required information, and the two otherwise identical vehicles of different color on the policy have different rates.
