Meet the Toad

Monday, 31 May 2010

Toad or dinghy … no matter the nickname, the vehicle we plan to tow on our Phaeton Journeys is a 2006 Honda CR-V.

We have no immediate plans for towing a vehicle … need to get used to the 40-foot [~12 m] length of the coach first.  That said, since we wanted to use our Toyota Camry as a trade-in, it seemed like a good idea to buy the toad now before we added to the 150,000+ miles [240,000+ km] the car already had on the odometer.

With only 36,000 miles [57,600 km] on the “gently used” CR-V, it’s a good buy and Mui gets to tool around town in a newer car until the CR-V is pressed into toad duty.  And hey … the color coordinates with the Phaeton!  (Purely luck of the draw, I might add.)
