“Pilli Bebek” is SOLD

Thursday, 9 August

Kept the driver, but sold …

… the Highlander Hybrid today!

For those curious, the Pilli Bebek in the title is a reference to the hybrid’s electric battery.  It means battery-powered baby in Turkish :-)

It wasn’t an easy decision to sell the Highlander.  Unfortunately, we can’t tow it four-down and storing it for the foreseeable future didn’t make sense, either.  So, off she went to a new home!  Too bad, we really liked driving this vehicle.

One more thing that was on our prep-for-fulltiming list is now taken care of.  Moving on …

And by the way, this means that as a one-car family, I’ll be working from home fulltime, borrowing the toad from Mui should my presence be required in the office on occasion.  That’s a good thing!

    1. We'll be towing a Honda CR-V. It's even color-coordinated with the Phaeton (that wasn't intentional).

  5. Ya' had to do what ya' had to do, but you'll be better for it. A better car is waiting for you.

  6. I am learning about the Honda CR-V, it is what Roger and Nancy are towing with their Winnebago. It is a really nice car, much nicer than our little Tracker...but...I must say, the Tracker is a lot easier to tow. I just can hardly wait to see what you do when you are finally all the way full time. I am wondering how much you will plan and how much you will let yourselves be spontaneous...??? You are such great planners, Erin...will you just get in the rig and see what happens sometimes?

  7. Congratulations on selling the car and become a full time work at home person :) We sold my car just before we hit the road and it wasn't a problem sharing one vehicle for awhile. Now, we don't even notice that we only have one. We're together almost all the time anyhow.
