Red Shifted
In physics redshift happens when light seen coming from an object is proportionally shifted to appear more red. Redshifts are attributable to the Doppler effect, just like changes in the apparent pitches of sirens and frequency of the sound made by speeding vehicles. There's just something about a red car that shouts speed! Whoever coined the phrase 'looks fast sitting still' was almost certainly looking at a red car. This is my ode to those out-there, in-your-face, bodacious redheads.
