Wow. That is completely insane. How do you avoid the police for that long, over multiple states?

I remember reading about this in Car and Driver, I believe.

They used the CL55 as it was a full size car, and could beef up the rear suspension and add auxiliary fuel tanks (for obvious reasons). They also had a plethora of radar monitoring/jamming/cop detection devices in the car, in addition to their own GPS and monitoring equipment.

Scanner, jammers, radar detectors, CB, light cutoff switch etc. Hell, when Alex Roy did it, he used a spotter plane.

Inside of the CL55.
