Not one of the dudes doing a burnout, tossing it around a corner trying to pretend its a Lambo, or jumping it over a curb is going "oh my, i shouldnt do that again, dont want the next owner to think the car was abused" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFskiDan Posted March 27, 2023 Report Share Posted March 27, 2023 Back on track here, Greek says they will be open this weekend, they have pond skim scheduled for Sat, Montage is "checking out the weather"......they havent closed, but might have. if Saturdays weather shows any kind of rain, my bet is they pack it in.

Schif Posted March 27, 2023 Report Share Posted March 27, 2023 If Montage is open I'll probably wind up there. If not, take a week off and then head north 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Built like a tank & police depts follow vehicle maint scheds to the letter. 2011 Crown Vic with 145k miles @JFskiDan already covered the gross misunderstanding of how police cars at treated. I'll cover the safety part. Crown Vics aren't safe. "Built like a tank" ... not always a good thing. Crown Vics barely have side airbags, let alone curtain airbags. Crown Vics are body on frame cars. The safest cars are ones with very soft front and rear ends, with a very rigid passenger cell. The idea is that all the energy can be absorbed by those crumple zones. When you have a frame ... there really isn't a crumple zone. You've never been good with the details. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted March 28, 2023 Report Share Posted March 28, 2023 (edited) 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. Edited March 28, 2023 by Ski2Live Live2Ski 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any car that is loved by Demolition Derby Dudes is a durable car, but safety is actually pretty low on the list. https://www.hotcars.com/crown-victoria-best-demolition-derby-cars/ But dark tinted windows should come in handy too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
