That's a long time between new cars. I can hold out for 10, but that's about my limit. Enjoy your new toy.

Dont you just love that new car smell???? Nice going but have to agree 25 yrs since your last new car??? must have been some slightly used ones in between.
My tow is 10 yrs old with little over 100,000 miles. Haul to much junk in it to destroy a new one and by the way..........you know the window sticker prices, I am way to cheap...maybe in a couple of years.
Good luck and many happy miles

Nice choice for your toad
Our Honda is 11 years old now and still drives like new. Secret to keeping a car so long?

I did a lot of research and liked how small the unit is and that it is air operated and puts vacuum to the brake booster so no dead pedal and also the other main reason is all you have to do is plug in the lights and break away cable then flip a switch in the toad and away you go.... Also it breaks from the motorhome tail lights and brakes progressively under panic stops from a inertia switch

04 CR-V 81,000 miles in addition to 25,000 towed miles---runs like a new car smells it's age.
Nice choice should run 25 years easy------------------
When we bought ours I ask what CR-V stood for---no one knew----so our license plate frame says CR-V, Cool Retiree-Vehicle

here you go on whar cr-v stands for i had to look it up
CR - V is the designation given to Honda's compact crossover suv. CR - V actually has two meanings. One is Compact Recreational Vehicle, and the other one is Comfortable Runabout Vehicle
But i like your definition better
