Just a comment. My 2005 French/Canadian SmartCar recently passed the Illinois emissions test, and fits perfectly inside my 2018 Thor Outlaw 29H. it's a bit shorter than SmartCars produced after 2008. Hope it keeps in good shape, cuz Id' rather not tow anything.

I've already got a 2021 Chevy Spark (ICE) coming. I found it used; with just 241 miles on it.
My questions:
Which tow dolly would you suggest?
Which Toad braking system would you suggest?
Thanks!

A light has appeared at the end of the tunnel...
Who would think that they'd build a 12 foot trailer; that has a bed longer than 12 feet?
But the dang thing fits! It's a bit tighter than I care for; but it's a workable situation.

Every since my Free pizza cost me $11.99 nothing surprises me anymore. Did they have a brighter red orange model for sale? Well when you walk out to parking lot, while you may struggle to find the RV, you will never miss the Toad

Glad you got a good fit

I figured it might. Much better solution than the dolly IMHO. Looking good Bob!

Truthfully: I bought this color car so that I could find it in parking lots...

Couple things Bob.

First let me say that is indeed the smallest Firetruck I have ever seen. So how do you get it off the trailer? Ramps, trailer tilts or you just go real fast over a hill then slam on the brakes when you land on the trailer? Lastly of course, you do know washing the mud off the tires makes it go faster right?

The ramp slides out from underneath the trailer. If I don't secure it before starting out: the Missus could just stay in the car, and practice driving it off and on the trailer at highway speeds...

That is kind of nice Bob, I hope she sees. No telling how many get out of jail free cards you might get

I will NEVER have enough of them.
And for a myriad of very good reasons.

Won’t the Spark fit on your aluminum trailer?

Looks great! I personally think small cars look best in bright or unusual colors. My Spark is purple! And it’s a great towed. Enjoy your travels.
