It's very stable. But, it was loud. I did it in Del Mar and we went over Rancho Santa Fe, which is an area with Estates not houses lol. It was breathtaking.

I recommend doing what was done to me. I would've never agreed to it so my "date" said he has a surprise for me. Picked me up and when we got there I was very nervous but I realized he went through a lot to make it happen and I sucked it up. I'm glad I did it.
