The Toad (that's RVeese for towed vehicle)



We have been looking for a second car since Barb's old Escort blew a head gasket on me. Barb insists that it died of a broken heart when Dad gave it to me. But that's another story. Anyway, I've been looking for a couple of months, for something that would get decent mileage. In addition I was looking for a vehicle that I could tow behind the RV, preferably already set up with a tow bar and accessories. My patience payed off yesterday when I found a car on Craig's List. A 2002 Saturn SL2, with 41,000 miles on it. Included a Stowmaster 5000 towbar and accessories. Bought it from an older couple in Lake Stevens (that was a drive!) They had traded for a smaller RV, and didn't want to tow anymore. Yes, the tow bar comes off (or goes back on for that matter) in about five minutes. All for about $500 under Kelly Bluebook and Nada prices. It's ready to tow on Wednesday!
