Following Bob’s example….
I’ve been towing a 2004 Jeep Wrangler LJ for a while now but the other day a dyed in the wool Jeep guy came up to me on the street and made me an offer on it that I couldn’t refuse. Never happened to me before! So now, following Bobs example (well, sort of), I’ve replaced it with a micro car. A PURPLE micro car no less. Turns out a Chevrolet Spark is even easier than the Jeep to tow. And even In the strange current market a purple 2017 Spark is cheap as bark!

I figure if you’re going to do quirky you might as well jump in with both feet! Actually, it’s cute as a bug’s ear.

What about Bob? Bob has supposedly posted pictures of his toad several times, and I have yet to see it No matter how big I blow it up, or zoom in the picture, all I see is where some kid left one of those matchbox cars in the driveway behind his Tiffin Wayfarer

Yup. Put it in neutral, flip the battery disconnect switch (that I haven’t installed yet) release the parking brake and you’re ready to go.

Pete, I have question if you would allow?
I have noticed that on Interstates... mainly in Tenn, Ark, Tex, & Miss that every time I see one of those Tiffin Allegro buses; when I get close enough they have Alabama tags/plates and one of those fancy Jeep Wranglers or Opticons in tow. Is that an Alabama thang, a club or something? They sure seem to dominate the highway? I would ask one, but often times they have those Elephant / Roll Tide flags; so I stay away from them.... I get enough beat downs from them one Saturday out of every year

Yep, just replaced my mini toad with a 2021 Spark. It’s not the pretty purple, just black though.
It’s all set up for the trip in a couple of weeks.
