New Mexico 518? Not straight and at a max elevation of 9700' not desert either. There's not much of it I'd drive at 70 in my Honda S2000, much less a minivan full of kids.
Hand over the S2000 , you’re wasting it .. I’ve gone over that in many a parking lot (solo2 in a GTI).

Very true. And that area you can encounter tourists looking at the view instead of watching for a lunatic a minivan. Motorcycles out for an afternoon putt. The random agricultural implement.
That’s not a road for her BS. Not to mention, one of the most violent times in recent NM history was the Tennessee black gang who moved in with dope, murder, prostitution, and even human trafficking. They brought a small misery wave to Albuquerque.
