What part of Vermont in the winter sounds like a Mini Cooper would be appropriate?

As i mentioned, different strokes. What smaller vehicle will allow people with my circumstance or lifestyle to tow a variety of trailers up to 6k lbs?

Or, one has 3 cars and 3 m'cycles in the garage; very difficult to
do 10k miles/yr on any of them. And, being a retired bum helps, too.

True. I can hardly imagine having that many choices in the garage in the morning. "Hmmm, which one should I take today?"

.

I guess it is possible to divvy up 25k miles amongst multiple cars, though it's hard to imagine myself doing that.
