California Highway Patrol escort |

CHP escorting the caravan |
 |
Police escorts are good... At 100MPH the CHP officer was waving me to go faster
in the rented Ford NSEscape. BTW, I put 1300 miles on this car over 11
days and was pleasantly surprised. For the price I think it's a great
little SUV. It handles well, accelerates well and has good brakes. No
fancy creature comforts, but for what it is I have to admit I liked it
quite well. |
