Definitely owe my life to having driven a 73 LTD (grandpa of the crown vic) my dad got me as a teen, and that long hood 100% served as a crumple zone when it saved my 17yo life.
Gonna stay in Lincoln NH for 3-4 nights and ski some combo of Cannon, Waterville and maybe Jay with girls. Driving up Sat (or Fri if forecast clears for Sat).
GSS should definitely spring for a 2nd car for my girls.
