Towing with a Tow Dolly
Ok so im towing my 240 from pensacola (northwest florida) to Austin Texas which is roughly 688 miles, I bought a tow dolly for $200 i got the tire straps for $50 now how do i tow it? rear wheels on the dolly? Front wheels on the dolly? Disconnect the driveshaft? If I tow it with the rear wheels on the dolly then I dont have to disconnect the driveshaft right??? Please respond with the way I should do it, and how to disconnect the driveshaft if it needs to be. Thanks

No, tow it backwards or disconnect the driveshaft before you tow it by the front wheels. It is always better to tow with the non driven wheels on the ground. The 240 owners manual and Google may have more to say.
*EDIT*
Cmon dude, just search. It's not a hard concept.

See lol...each person says the opposite.... drift how did you work with the steering ? lock the wheel straight by turning it with out the key in ? or put the key in turn it forward to keep it from locking straight? Gimme more details on your tow please (btw im going 688 miles)

Well, the reason people are saying different things is because they are using different methods. Basically, you don't want to affect the drivetrain while pulling your car across the country, so if you're towing using the front wheels tied up and the rear wheels on the ground, disconnect the driveshaft.
If you're towing the opposite, lock the steering wheel (make sure yours is able to lock), and you should be good.
