I don't either, but it's turning red while sitting still, so it must be the Doppler effect Fixxer alluded to, right? What other explanation could there be?

Well if it's sitting still and turning red you must be on a Honda moving away from it.

My Honda shows streaks of red but just doesn't seem to complete the shift.
