My HS best friend had one of these when we were in HS in 1982. He was the youngest child and his parents were already retired (sisters were easily 15 years older than us). When he totaled the gigantic family LTD while engaging in some hanky panky with his GF and driving, the parents got a Mk V from his older sister. Lucky for him there were no injuries, but at that age you don't consider
those kind of risks...
He tooled around in that thing like the yacht/Love Boat that it was in all white. Got about 1 mpg, so he was always asking us for gas money. Luckily it was a small town so we didn't have far to go for anything.
