Fair point - and my tolerance to risk is rather low so I wouldn't do it (I don't let my girlfriend drive the rental car in my name either - I tell her its because of liability...;-) - however I do know that it is pretty standard practice to tow over width center consoles (particularly in Florida) without pulling the permit and it is rarely an issue. The absence of tie down straps is much more likely to get you nailed, especially on HWY 1.
