Which one is more comfortable to drive?

I have towed a Honda CRX on one of those trailers and it never bothered me
except when I had to turn around in Wall, South Dakota. Got stuck somewhere
I didn't want to be. And then there was losing the brakes coming down the
Continental Divide into the Bitteroot Valley in Montana...

17 foot truck is pretty small for towing. I think you ought to tow the Bug
and drive the van.

tim in san jose (yes I survived the free fall into Sula, Montana)
