My cousin went to UNH, so I would crash at his dorm on Friday night then take him and ski various places in NH and then Sunday River or the Loaf in ME.

He's still up there, living in Kittery with his family.

That is one tall P-car. Just need to watch it doesn't tip over

I've driven both on frozen lakes in Sweden with studded tyres. The C2 requires a smooth and progressive style to balance the rear, but is totally drivable and very rewarding. The C4 is easier and faster but much more physical as you swing lock to lock on the power. Only other thing is the C4 was much easier to get out of the snow drifts!!

Yeah, it was built for off roadin' fun! Here is the "finished" project after all the goodies were added (via photoshop).

13" wheels with baloon tires (for that cushy ride)
Jacked up 9"
Ram air hood scoop
'Vette side pipes
Quad spot lights on roof
a "splash of color" on the side

As a family, we spent time at Sunday River and Sugarloaf...one of my sons is still in the ski business(Strolz ski boots), the other was a rep for Fisher skis. My wife and I live in Kittery as well.
