1Opinion of the Court

RALPH B. GUY, JR., Circuit Judge.

Defendants Jaime Perez and Walter Rhodes both appeal from the district court’s denial of their respective motions to suppress evidence. They challenge the stop of the Cadillac Escalade EXT in which they were both traveling, and the search of the unoccupied Chevrolet Tahoe from which 30 kilograms of cocaine were seized. Defendants each challenge the legality of the stop, the scope and length of their detention, and the search of the Tahoe. After review of the record and the arguments presented on appeal, we affirm.
