Teen Promises To Take Girl With Down Syndrome To Prom.

What He Just Did Has Mom In Tears

High school can be a difficult time for many kids.

Popularity and "fitting in" often feel like the most important things in the world,

and teens don't want to do anything that could get them bullied or made fun of.

But Ben Moser, a quarterback from Susquehanna Township High School in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania,

isn't worried about his image.

He knows that it's not the outward appearance, but what's on the inside that truly counts.

When Ben was in fourth grade, he made friends with a girl in his class named Mary, who has

Down syndrome.

He took her under his wing and made sure she was included.

"We were always hanging out on the playground together playing around.

I was looking out for her, making sure she playing with everybody," Ben recalled.

He promised Mary that when they were older he would take her to prom.

When Ben told his mom, Lisa Moser, his plan, she was incredibly touched by her son's

kind heart.

"[T]hat would be one of the proudest things you could ever do," she told him.

When the pair was getting ready to go into sixth grade, though, Mary moved to a new school

district and they lost touch.

"We were distant, we went to two different schools, I didn't have much contact with

her," Ben said.

Several years went by, but then one fateful night Ben and Mary were reunited.

Ben was the quarterback for Susquehanna Township's football team and Mary was working as the

ball girl for Central Dauphin.

When the two schools played each other, Ben and Mary were reunited on the football field

and Ben remembered the promise he had made to Mary when they were young.

He decided he was going to keep that promise.

"We got balloons and I wrote 'prom' on it," Ben said.

"I presented her with the balloons and asked her to go to prom with me."

"I was surprised," Mary said, smiling.

When the big night came, lots of friends and family turned out to see the couple off, including

their fourth-grade teacher, Tracey Spogli, who remembers what special students they both

were.

"Ben would always keep an eye out for Mary, making sure she was smiling and happy,"

Tracey recalled.

"I referred to Mary as 'Little Mary Sunshine' because she was the sunshine in our classroom.

The entire experience of that fourth-grade year was a very positive learning experience

for the entire classroom and I am so proud to have been part of it!"

Lisa said she always taught her children to "put others first, love from their heart,

and stand up for what they believe in," and she is so proud to watch Ben live that

out.

"My heart just overflows with love watching [Ben and Mary] tell the story of their friendship,"

she said.

She added that Ben was never concerned about how it would look to take someone with Down

syndrome to the prom or about what others would think.

"For him, it was no big deal," she said.

"He was just doing what was natural and comfortable for him.

It's not just a football quarterback or a girl with Down syndrome, but a friendship

that withstood the test of time."

But while it may not have been a big deal to Ben, asking Mary to the prom meant the

world to her and her family.

"A lot of grade-school aged kids may have stayed away from my sister Mary or thought

she was weird because she has Downs Syndrome.

But not Ben," Mary's brother, Tom Lapokwicz, said.

He added that Ben "put a smile on Mary's face" and restored his own faith in humanity.

For Ben, all the attention surrounding him and Mary has been unexpected and even unwarranted.

"There's nothing wrong with going to the prom with somebody that's not like everybody

else," Ben told Fox43.

"You should just be who you are and do what's right and keep your word, just be you."

Were you touched by what Ben did for Mary?

Sean Hannity Exposes What Was So Creepy About Anderson Coopers Interview With Stormy Daniels

I took her great show as always and welcome to Hannity breaking tonight I

have said it before I will say it again and prove it journalism so-called

journalism in this country is dead and this weekend you witnessed just one more

if not the final nail in the coffin well now that the media's Russia obsession

isn't exactly working out according a plan well instead of Russia Russia

Russia all now it's stormy stormy stormy and more stormy the mainstream media's

non-stop assault on President Trump and his character and credibility has

reached an even new low and then there's creepy Anderson Cooper along with the

king of porn soon to be scandal plagued Jeff Zucker

fake news CNN they're all leading the way tonight we will show you get your

tape recorders running how this breathless hysteria surrounding stormy

Daniels exposes the blatant double standard within your mainstream media

and he'll give you our take on stormy Daniels and the much typed interview on

60 minutes last night plus despite the press in this country

telling you would never happen President Trump he is taking tough swift action

against Russia expelling sixty diplomats some of whom are spies from our borders

and closing Russia's consulate in Seattle we have that and more you do not

want to miss our breaking news opening monologue

alright so the left-wing mainstream media's contempt for this president has

now reached a boiling point and frankly a point of unhinged insanity this is

especially true for fake news CNN now for days the Clinton News Network they

have been completely and utterly obsessed with porn star stormy Daniels

and her salacious claims that she had a brief affair a one-time encounter with

Donald Trump some twelve or thirteen years ago

you don't believe me take a look for yourself detailing on national

television an intimate relationship with Donald Trump and the effort to conceal

it adult film actress stormy Daniels the White House briefing expected to begin

any moment now they will certainly face questions about stormy Daniels the

stormy saga takes a dramatic turn as the porn star speaks out on her alleged

affair with citizen Trump stormy Daniels we haven't heard from him about the

stormy Daniels affair adult film star stormy Daniels breaking her silence

about her alleged affair with President Trump we were talking I think

understandably and appropriately about the most serious legal allegations that

stormy Daniels may still mean Daniels stormy Daniels I know you've heard a ton

about that we have to see where that case goes and what this interview is

about well it is that possible to come up in the stormy Daniels lawsuit will

she be able to say hey look this lawyer is involved with a whole bunch of

different things here this could be the last nail in the coffin for me Daniel's

it's causing stormy weather Pornstar stormy Daniels claims president Trump

broke the law had her bullied the stormy Daniels had the president's number it

sure seems that way the President Trump might have met his match with stormy

Daniels how is stormy weather in this stormy speaks we're hearing quite a bit

from stormy Daniels Stormies in her own words isn't going anywhere

stormy Daniels has a good lawyer the pornstar stormy Daniels was telling the

truth stormy Daniels is on a tear quick preview is stormy Daniels interview this

Sunday breaking news there stormy Daniels stormy Daniels stormy Daniels

stormy Daniels Torrey Daniels is stormy Daniels stormy Daniels stormy Daniels

the reason he can't engage with stormy Daniels is because she's got his number

now of course the whole network CNN isn't just focusing in on stormy Daniels

well the network is also giving ample airtime to the claims that are also made

by a former Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal capped with a particularly

frankly creepy interview with Anderson Cooper on Thursday listen listen to

these questions and we got a lot more coming would he would he call you he

would call me I would call him vice versa so you had his phone number when

he called did his numbers show up on the phone were you attracted to so the sex

was consensual did he actually try to hand you money did he bring up his wife

would he talk about his child his son were you in love with him I was yeah

and do you think he was in love with you did Donald Trump ever say to you that he

loved you did he have any nicknames for you what do you think of the apartment

and he showed you around the apartment how did you feel being in his apartment

did he ever compare you to any of his kids did he ever use protection now

meanwhile last night on 60 minutes Anderson Cooper sat down for his

much-anticipated interview with stormy Daniels but despite all the buildup and

all the unverified over-the-top claims made by her lawyer and all the constant

obsessive compulsive media obsession Cooper's interview did fall flat and

once again came off sorry Anderson this is creepy

take a look you told don't Trump to turn around and take off his pants yes and

did he yes so you turn around and pull his pants down no he had underwear on

stuff and I just gave him a couple swats this was done in a joking manner yes did

you two go out for dinner that night yeah he had dinner in the room yes

what happened next and you had sex with him yes you were 27 he was 60 were you

physically attracted to him no not at all no did you want to have sex with him

no but I didn't I didn't say no I'm not a victim I'm not it was entirely

consensual oh yes in an industry where condom use is an issue did he use a

condom no did you ask him to now after you had sex what happened he definitely

wanted to continue to see you Oh Fisher it wasn't at that point of business

meeting it was just watching sharply yeah one time consensual relationship

alleged and if you find those questions disturbing wait until you see the

interview footage that didn't make air from 60 minutes overtime I guess that's

the extra tape that they had nothing to do with it was posted online and yeah

this is tabloid trash take a look they wanted me to make a

movie and I'd any of you having sex with somebody who looks like tonight and I

said no repeatedly watch to there you know what physically you've seen him in

ways that other people haven't correct and if need be I can describe that his

private parts the Anderson really consider this hard news journal

now despite claims from Stormies lawyer that his client was ready to disclose a

mountain of evidence about Trump's misconduct the only potentially

newsworthy moment from the interview was when Stormy's claims that she was

threatened by an unidentified man following her alleged affair with mr.

Trump a one-time affair but even that claim wasn't backed up with any evidence

no evidence whatsoever so instead we just got the embarrassing details of a

suppose it or alleged one-night stand from over 12 years ago even some in the

mainstream media they are there expressing their utter disappointment

about Henderson's interviewing and hard-hitting journalism take a look so I

think people thought there was going to be like a smoking gun here did we miss

something as a young lawyer I remember being told never over-promised

under-promise over-deliver and the jury will look positively on you we have an

attorney that's done just the opposite he over promised he sent out tweets with

pictures of a cd-rom suggesting some big explosion he told us two weeks ago that

she was threatened with assault and we would find out more on 60 minutes when

in fact we found out nothing new on 60 minutes so what are you waiting for what

is the trigger that has you releasing the physical evidence I asked you

whether there was any evidence documentary evidence text messages photo

evidence that that verified that story Daniels had the affair she claims that

she had you said to me that's a question that miss Daniels will have to

ultimately answer cut to last night she's asked directly about this on 60

minutes and she says my attorney has instructed me not to answer so does she

or doesn't she have this evidence all right hell's frozen over I agree

with liberal Joe and the Today show Savannah Guthrie now four days right

here on this program we have been questioning if CNN's soon-to-be

scandal-plagued Chief Jeff Zucker has turned into the porn king but tonight

have two back-to-back lewd cringe-worthy creepy interviews with stormy Daniels

and Karen McDougal again allegations of a consensual relationship it just looks

like Anderson Cooper is now turned into CNN's Jerry

Springer it's a pretty compelling comparison let's take a look

you told Donald Trump to turn around and take off his pants yes

and did you yes you're young you like that fun your party girl etc so what's

the prob what the story you owe and you had sex with yes do you want to be with

her boyfriend did you want to have sex with him no but I didn't I didn't say no

you're not interested in being with him it's just a customer right well are you

interested in being with him he ended up taking me home are you work in an

industry where condom use is an issue did did he use a condom no did you ask

him to now so you had sex with it yeah I don't know watch out Jerry Springer

creepy Anderson Cooper could be coming for your job now we're not kidding look

at this CNN was running images all day long there she is porn star stormy

Daniels next to Karen McDougal we're not making this up there's a serious note to

all this and aside from Anderson's usually salacious interviews the

mainstream media's coverage of Daniels that mcdougal is revealing a huge double

standard in this country you got allegations from a porn star about a

one-time consensual relationship with Donald Trump gets round-the-clock

coverage CNN NBC ABC CBS conspiracy TV MSNBC and others now according to a

study this is where we get serious from news busters between March 7th and March

25th the evening newscast from just NBC ABC and CBS while they dedicated a

whopping 40 minutes of airtime to Trump allegations of a consensual relationship

but for decades the mainstream media has completely ignored serious stories of

abuse Juanita Broderick Paula Jones Kathleen

Willey all women that accused a former President Bill Clinton of serial

predator like gross sexual misconduct and the media Research Center they

crunch those numbers and according to their count 1994 when Paula Jones came

forward with details about Bill Clinton dropping his pants and exposing himself

to her in a hotel room CBS and NBC actually ignored the story ABC to their

credit gave a whopping sixteen seconds of coverage and then in

1997 when Kathleen Willy's allegations about Bill Clinton became public that he

groped and grabbed and fondled and touched and kissed her against her will

o CBS and NBC gave it one minute and 34 seconds of coverage ABC didn't touch the

story but in fairness to Ed Bradley who did pass away he did do an interview on

60 minutes with Kathleen and I believe he talked to Paul but CNN's evening

newscast dedicated just 26 seconds of coverage being different CNN then and

now and in 1998 when news broke about wanita Broderick's serious claims that

she was raped by Bill Clinton in the 70s ABC CBS they didn't find a spare second

to cover it meanwhile Lisa Myers from NBC she booked the first interview with

Juanita Broderick and according to a report from the Washington Post for over

a month NBC chief Andy lack and others prevented

the interview from airing because they said they were unable to corroborate her

story right here on the Fox News Channel britt hume remember and others were

wearing free Lisa Myers buttons on air to encourage NBC to release that

extremely important interview when the mainstream media eventually did cover

the stories of Bill Clinton's accusers the reporting was often dismissive let's

take a look at some of the clips provided to us thanks to the media

Research Center yes yes the case was being fomented by right-wing nuts

and yes she's not a very credible witness and it's really not a law case

at all I think she's a dubious witness I really do

we've got an awful lot to talk about this week including the sexual

harassment suit against the president course in that one's tough to figure out

who's really being arrested is she not trying to capitalize on this ineffective

- to profit from impugning the president I have to profess complete confusion

over this entire case why this is even a case what do you think of mr. Broadrick

story oh I don't believe it at all anybody waits 21 years the surface of

charge like this there's no evidence to back it up that you know other than it's

very circumstantial what she may or may not have told some of her friends at the

time has sworn in in the deposition that had never happened and all of a sudden

comes forth from this story the story doesn't deserve to be dignified by being

broadcast and displayed he'll meanwhile matt drudge on the

Drudge Report had up on his website today that this 1998 op-ed in the New

York Times dismissed claims against Clinton writing quote publicly

humiliating anyone for consensual adultery is draconian and it's wrong

I guess that's changed too and let's not forget that ABC is very own former

Clinton sycophant Georgie Stephanopoulos he once threatened to end a person's

career if they dared to go public with Clinton's affair allegations take a look

at this threat what his name suggests I can send you a fax with names addresses

phone numbers of who you had an affair with it wouldn't make it true

it is completely if you went on the radio and said that Bill Clinton is the

father of illegitimate my child you would be laughed at you would think

you're crazy I guarantee you that if you do this you'll never work in democratic

politics again maybe you don't want it I'm not saying it matters you will be

embarrassed before the national press corps people will think nobody will

believe you and people will think you're scum now the point of this is the

appalling double standard of the media continued all throughout the 2016

election the liberal press essentially they covered for then candidate Hillary

Clinton all while throwing her husband's accusers under the bus we've got the

videotape a trio of women who say Bill Clinton made unwanted sexual advances in

the 80s and 90s mister Clinton denies it two of the cases were plagued by factual

discrepancies when it was Bill Clinton's problems almost in the moment

Republicans tried to make it an issue and it didn't work so why is it gonna

work twenty years later with his wife I just don't see it the biggest I would

like to apologize to those tramps that have slept with my husband

she could have said that the rape accusation is decades old and

discredited it's Hillary Clinton who is the candidate here not Bill Clinton she

was not implicated in any misconduct she was not someone who was accused even of

doing anything untoward with regard to these women

it's about groping and fondling and touching against the woman's will and

rape and rape Donald Trump using that word unprompted during an interview last

night with Fox News's Sean Hannity bringing up a discredited and long

denied accusation against former President Bill Clinton dating back to

1978 when he was Arkansas Attorney General oh that's pretty pathetic and in

that last clip that we showed Andrea Mitchell NBC actually edited the online

version to remove her using the word discredited now what we just showed you

is appalling in just a few minutes by the way Paul Jones Juanita Broderick

they will react to this double standard right here in studio to shed some light

on how they have been treated by the liberal media but it's very clear the

mainstream media shrouds itself in moral superiority in order to just slam Donald

Trump but they can get down in the gutter to defend all things Clinton they

take accusations about 12 years ago about an alleged consensual encounter

between Trump and stormy Daniels and they turn it into weeks and weeks long

scandal but even up until November 2016 they were totally timid as it relates to

Bill Clinton's serial predatory behavior almost ignoring all the allegations

think of this rape groping fondling touching kissing against one woman's

will exposing yourself you know when it comes to Bill Clinton okay they're not

going to fixate on any of it but every detail of an alleged consensual

relationship as it relates to Donald Trump over a decade ago journalism is

dead and every day gets very deeper and deeper thank you god bless you and God

bless america

you

TRUMP WAS RIGHT!

Trey Gowdy Just Leaked What a Top Democrat Admitted Doing to Trump

As the Trump-Russia "examination" keeps on going into disrepair, it's winding up

progressively evident this was all only a hostile to Trump witch chase.

Presently, Rep. Trey Gowdy, just passed the entryways over the entire thing.

Gowdy joined Maria Bartiromo and uncovered his Democratic associate, Rep. Adam Schiff,

who is driving the examination in the House Intelligence Committee.

Rep. Gowdy uncovered what Schiff revealed to him just before the "examination" began.

"Some of my Democratic associates, to be specific Adam Schiff, said he had confirm,

more than incidental 'confirmation of agreement,' BEFORE the examination even started"

Fox Host Maria Bartiromo was stunned when she heard this, and Gowdy underscored it once

again to make it clear how absurd it is.

"The positioning Democrat on the House Intel Committee (Schiff) had confirmation of conspiracy

BEFORE we met our first witness!?!"

Maria Bartiromo said "this is maddening" as Gowdy uncovered this Trump-Russia test

for what it truly is.

"Very nearly 60 Democrats voted to push ahead with indictment.

As of now!

Before Bob Mueller's discharged a solitary finding, before the House Intelligence or

Senate Intelligence Committees have discharged a solitary, singular finding, very nearly

60 House Democrats think the president should be expelled from office and Adam Schiff says

he has proof of arrangement,"

As Gowdy said this, Maria Bartiromo shook

her

head

in sicken.

Fact Check: What's the deal with the line-item veto? - Duration: 2:16.

-To prevent the omnibus situation

from ever happening again,

I'm calling on Congress to give me a line-item

veto for all government-spending bills.

-Give me a line-item veto. -Line-item veto.

-If you give me the line-item veto,

I'll remove some of that unnecessary spending.

-Coming up, President Clinton signs the line-item veto bill.

The bill would give the president the power

to cancel items line by line in spending bills

unless Congress overrides the veto by a two-thirds vote.

Currently, the president may veto an entire bill,

but not specific items.

-It gives me great pleasure today to sign

into law the line-item veto.

This is a bipartisan achievement

that has been long sought by presidents.

-But the move was not without vocal opposition.

Just two years later,

the Supreme Court struck down the provision.

-I think -- I think they should give

the president a line-item veto.

-That's been ruled unconstitutional

by the Supreme Court, sir.

-Well, again, Congress could pass a rule, okay,

that allows them to do it.

-No, no, sir. It would be a constitutional amendment.

-Chris, we don't need to get into a debate in terms of --

there's different ways of doing this.

-Have you been able to find a workaround

to that Supreme Court ruling that says it's unconstitutional?

-Well, there are certain things being discussed

with respect to House and Senate rules.

I don't want to get ahead of anything

that we may come out in favor of.

-Experts say that one way of doing it legally would be

to give the president

the power to suggest line-item vetoes to Congress.

In this workaround scenario,

Congress would pass a spending bill,

send it to the president, who would edit the draft

and send it back.

Congress would have to vote on the edits

and then send it back to the White House

for the president to sign.

But that's not really a line-item veto so much

as another round of traditional legislating.

Mnuchin should brush up on his government 101.

He receives four Pinocchios.

BREAKING: Obama's DACA Illegal Got Busted By Homeland Security… LOOK WHAT WAS JUST PREVENTED!!! - Duration: 3:01.

BREAKING: Obama's DACA Illegal Just Got Busted By Homeland Security…

LOOK WHAT WAS JUST PREVENTED!!!

Agents from the U.S. Border Patrol El Paso Sector, in collaboration with Homeland Security

Investigators, arrested an alleged smuggler and convicted felon this week bringing their

status in the United States in to question.

On March 19, U.S. Border Patrol Agents encountered a vehicle near Rodeo, New Mexico, in an area

frequently utilized for human smuggling.

Agents conducted an immigration stop due to the suspicious nature of the vehicle.

As a result, agents discovered three passengers who readily admitted to having entered the

country illegally.The driver also admitted to knowing that the subjects were illegal

aliens who had been smuggled into the United States, and that he would receive payment

for transporting them.

The driver and illegal aliens were transported to the Lordsburg Border Patrol Station for

further processing.

The vehicle used in the smuggling scheme was seized by the U.S. Border Patrol.

During processing, it was determined that the driver (DACA recipient) had an approved

eligibility status to remain in the U.S. until September 7, 2019.

He will be prosecuted on alien smuggling charges.

Furthermore, due to the nature of the crime, the subject may no longer be eligible to maintain

his DACA status.

So there you go.

A Daca scumbag busted for smuggling illegal aliens into the United States.

How wonderful.

In a separate case in El Paso, another subject was arrested Wednesday by a combined Border

Patrol/ Homeland Security Investigations Task Force.

Members of the Task Force discovered that the subject (DACA recipient) may have violated

the terms of his relief status by engaging in various criminal acts to include Aggravated

Felony, stemming from an incident in El Paso County.

He was sentenced to 10 years of incarceration, but had a portion of his sentence suspended.

In 2012, this subject applied for and received DACA status.

He later went on to commit crimes including "Assault Causing Bodily Injury to a Family

Member", "Driving While Intoxicated" and "Burglary of Habitation".

He was convicted on all crimes and eventually was released on probation.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection is the unified border agency within the Department

of Homeland Security charged with the management, control and protection of our nation's borders

at and between the official ports of entry.

CBP is charged with keeping terrorists and terrorist weapons out of the country while

enforcing hundreds of U.S. laws.

WHAT IF YOUR WINTER CAR WAS A FERRARI? THE GTC4LUSSO MAKES THAT DREAM COME TRUE - Duration: 10:21.

Flogging a Porsche 911 around a racetrack.

Four-wheeling through muddy ruts and over craggy boulders in a Land Rover.

These are the types of motoring experiences you imagine when you dream of pushing a purpose-built

machine to its very limits.

But how about navigating a $300,000 V12 Ferrari through the ice and snow of a Canadian winter?

"Preposterous!" one would think.

Because a car like a V12 Ferrari is meant for drives around the French Riviera, or up

the Pacific Coast Highway with perfect ambient temperatures, sunshine, and above all, dry

weather.

Envisioning a V12 Ferrari braving ol' man winter is like trying to imagine Earth actually

being flat, impossible.

This V12 Ferrari here however, is quite a bit different.

The name GTC4Lusso might be unfamiliar.

Think of it as an updated Ferrari FF, except with a new name – a "shooting brake"

style grand tourer, meant more for comfort, than performance.

But being a 12-cylinder Italian thoroughbred, this GTC4Lusso is anything but shy on performance.

We'll get to that in a second.

Competitors?

In this realm, there aren't many, as the GTC4Lusso is pretty much at the top of the

echelon.

If anything, the closest rivals would probably be the 12-cylinder Bentley Continental GT

and although stretching it, a fully-loaded Porsche Panamera Turbo S. Otherwise, the GTC4Lusso

is in a class of its own, starting at $298,900.

INTERIOR AND TECH Being a $300,000 super GT, you can bet every

single one of those dollars that the GTC4Lusso pretty much comes with all the bells and whistles

imaginable in an automobile – except for semi-autonomous tech.

Whereas technology in your basic Mercedes-Benz or Lexus is there for safety and convenience,

the GTC4Lusso's tech is there to make a driving performance statement first, with

safety and convenience second.

This is a Ferrari, a purebred sports car meant to be driven deliberately and with verve.

A huge tachometer sits front and center behind the wheel, flanked by dual high-def LCDs displaying

all other gauges and a modicum of crucial info, like sat-nav.

There are no stalks mounted on the steering column, which is where the metallic transmission

paddle shifters reside.

Instead, everything's mounted on the steering wheel (including headlight and turn signal

controls) or on the dashboard behind, to minimize the need to take your hands off the steering

wheel.

When you pilot something as insanely powerful as the GTC4Lusso, you want your attention

completely devoted to driving as much as possible.

The level of tech seamlessly at work behind the scenes is incredible.

But to program the sat-nav, set up Apple CarPlay, or adjust the climate control, a large 10.25-inch

full-HD capacitive touchscreen sits on the center console.

To keep the passenger distracted, it gets its own 8.8-inch full-HD color touchscreen,

displaying vehicle telemetry and other options.

Perhaps one of the few available options not standard on the GTC4Lusso.

And while there are back seats, they're best reserved for children or for very short

trips to the local restaurant scene.

Who said Ferraris can't be family vehicles?

DRIVING EXPERIENCE Ah yes, the best part of a Ferrari: driving

it.

The GTC4Lusso impresses on paper with 6.3-liter naturally-aspirated V12, 680 horsepower – yes

you read that correctly – 514 pound-feet of torque, and a seven-speed Formula 1-style

dual-clutch DCT transmission.

Mind-blowing figures, especially considering there are no turbochargers or superchargers

at work here.

Sixty from a standstill takes only 3.4 seconds, doubling that to 120 mph takes only 10.5.

It is quite simply bat-poop insane fast.

Numbers are one thing, but it simply does not speak for actually experiencing the level

of acceleration it translates to.

Find a straight, clear road, and enough of your own bravery, and you'll struggle with

how quickly the speedometer climbs and the horizon comes at you when you flick the left

paddle shifter a few times and put the pedal to the metal.

Fail to exercise finesse with your right foot, and the GTC4Lusso could potentially leave

you with the biggest accident bill of your life.

But once the rear end finds its footing and squats, it becomes an instant warp machine.

Surpass the triple-digit speed mark and the GTC4Lusso's stability puts the Germans and

their Autobahn to shame with incredible Brembo brakes to bring things back down.

Under the sheet metal lies enough technology at work to make a computer engineer's brain

crash.

It's not just for show: it makes the GTC4Lusso one of the best handling grand tourers ever

made.

The list includes 4WS (active four-wheel steering), E-Diff (electronic rear differential), F1-Trac

(F1-influenced traction control), SCM and ESC (stability control), SSC4 (Side Slip Control),

SCM-E (magnetic ride suspension), and 4RM EVO.

The latter stands for "4 Ruote motrici," or "four-wheel drive" in Italian, is bespoke

to the GTC4Lusso.

Ferrari's patented system all-wheel system is unlike any other.

Ferrari's patented system is unlike any other, and does without the transfer case

and center differential of a conventional all-wheel drive setup.

It instead mounts a completely separate computer-controlled two-speed gearbox to the front of the engine,

and only transfers up to 20 percent of the engine's power to the front wheels.

It all sounds very fancy and very complicated, but the result is that it's up to 50 percent

lighter than traditional all-paw systems.

In action, it proved its worth around a specially arranged snow and ice track at Circuit Mécaglisse,

tucked in the mountains just outside Mont Tremblant.

There, Ferrari paired us up with seasoned racecar drivers for a day, who coached a few

journalists around completely ice and snow-packed figure eights and closed road courses with

steep banks, just to prove how well the system works.

With a few rounds, the GTC4Lusso quickly invoked a level of confidence and felt no more difficult

than navigating a 4MATIC AMG Mercedes in the same conditions.

Other two-wheel drive Ferraris would've slid off into the embankments.

Whether on the unpredictable, worn Canadian roads surrounding Mont Tremblant, or flogging

it on ice, the GTC4Lusso's steering proved exquisite if not surprisingly light and deft,

translating every input into a perfect adjustment with little effort.

The magnetically controlled adaptive suspension ironed out rural Québécois thoroughfares

and hugged the smooth and curvy ones.

Even with the occasional flash whiteout snow shower and patches of ice everywhere, the

GTC4Lusso felt as sure-footed as a Quattro-equipped Audi (its Pirelli snow tires help a lot).

Can you really trust a Ferrari to get you to a ski resort?

You can if it's the GTC4Lusso.

WARRANTY The GTC4Lusso comes with a three-year, unlimited

mileage basic warranty and a three-year unlimited mileage powertrain warranty.

HOW DT WOULD CONFIGURE THIS CAR To match our theme as closely as possible,

we'd opt for the "Blu Tour de France" metallic exterior.

To spice things up on the inside, we'd keep things more traditional with the fancy Rosso

Ferrari red leather – hey, what's a Ferrari if some shade of yellow or red isn't involved

in some way?

We'd also select the 20-inch "Forged Diamond" double-spoke wheels to complete the look.

Even the base GTC4Lusso comes jam-packed with kit, so you don't need to fret over other

features.

But if you want to fuss, Ferrari will let you.

For instance, you can choose what type of trim you'd like to contrast with your choice

leather color, the design of the seats, and even the color of the tachometer backplate.

Outside, you can opt for carbon fiber trim and vent inserts, and even choose the color

of your brake calipers.

CONCLUSION The Ferrari GTC4Lusso is an absolute masterpiece.

It meets all the expectations you could ever imagine for a car donning the world-famous

Italian Prancing Horse.

It's not only incredibly fast and a ton of fun to drive, it's also extraordinarily

comfortable both to be in and easy to manage its speed, if you bring some experience to

the table.

It simply stuns you with unrivaled acceleration and stability that few cars can match, especially

when navigating Quebec in the dead middle of winter.

And it amazes with the level of technology seamlessly at work behind the scenes.

Normally, a Ferrari would be better suited for a heated garage in the conditions we drove

it through in Canada.

But through technology, you can now live with a Ferrari year-round and through the dead

of winter – something that wasn't possible before a car like the GTC4Lusso and its predecessor,

the FF.

If you are looking for the ultimate performance example of long-distance, road-going, year-round

transportation, then look no further than the GTC4Lusso.
