dang, am I the only one that's a hater for the arctic-camo transmission paint?! maybe if it was on a jeep or something. Hmmm..that's an idea. Rip off the doors and hatch to your 240 and put some jeep doors on it then you can drive around the jungles of Lancaster hunting Squirrels with a twelve-gage.
