Raise the suspension? 264 Diesel springs in front. Wagon overload
springs in back. :) I'm not sure if she'd go for that. That being
said, 240s still have more ground clearance than some of the shite
that you see being flogged off as SUVs today (read: Honda CR-V,
Toyota RAV4, Mitsubishi Endeavor). My opinion on the matter is that,
if you need a truck, get something with a truck's frame and
construction, like a GMC Jimmy, Jeep Wrangler, or Yukon. If you
need something that goes in the snow, you'd be better off with
a Subaru or other AWD car. Leave the plasticky Tonka toys for your
kids to play with. (/rant)


Just someone who wishes that there were more fairly simple, RWD cars
out there. Also, what's up with the recent whinging of certain auto
"journalists" that anything with less than 200hp that does 0-60 in
more than 8.33 sec. is underpowered?
