Ride is great. They rub a little but I don't care. I just keep people out of the back seat. The secret is in the front strut settings - keep them soft, and it absorbs impacts so the rear tires don't rub.

You can go pretty fast in Nevada without anyone giving you a hard time. Arizona, not so much.

Yeah, of course. He actually made me sit in his truck while he filled out the ticket. I'll never forget that, because the BeeGees "How Deep Is Your Love" was playing on the radio.
THAT shit will make you slow down. lmao

75 in a 65. I have no idea why he wanted me to sit in the truck, but I was worried! I had just slowed down from 105 because we were entering a small town.
If you want to read and see pretty much all the details of the road trip (including being buzzed by an F-16), you can read about it here.

Troopers do that because backup can be a long ways away and it is easier to control the situation if you are out of your vehicle. They know where all the guns are in their car, not so much in yours
