Generally described, aspects of the disclosed subject matter are directed to managing the configuration of a vehicle. In accordance with one embodiment, a method of modifying the configuration of a vehicle based on the vehicle's location is provided. The method includes receiving, from a remote Satellite Positioning System ('SPS') device, positioning data that identifies the location of the vehicle. Then, the positioning data is used to identify one or more regulations that are applicable, given the location of the vehicle. Based on collected vehicle readings, a determination is made regarding whether the configuration of the vehicle should be modified. In turn, the method may cause the configuration of the vehicle to be modified to comply with the one or more regulations.

A fairing assemblyis demountably coupled to a vehicle and includes a first and second support structureandfixedly secured to the vehicle. The fairing assemblyfurther includes a first support memberhaving first end coupled to the first support structureand a second end coupled to the second support structure. A first elastic compression memberis positioned between the first end of the first support memberand the first support structure, and a second elastic compression memberis positioned between the second end of the first support memberand the second support structure. The first and second elastic compression membersimpart opposing forces on the first support memberto position the first support member relative to the first and second support structuresand
