Why is there no discussion of fuel economy? <GD&R>

I DO listen to the radio so I'm not going to get one of those! <G>

Without the antenna, you can always resort to:
Putting a satellite radio adapter in.
Or, using the old commuters ghetto solution, hang a pocket radio from
the mirror. <G>

By the way, with a little ingenuity, a radio antenna can be integrated
into the soft top above the rear window. If you have a heated rear glass
window, it's even possible to use the heating element as an antenna. GM
did this on a heck of a lot of cars.

that's still alot of wires (dead weight).

I'm gonna put the antenna along the vertical pillar (passenger side) of
the front window

I'd trash that f1 up and down the streets all day long

Buy a new antenna. Time is money.

THRASH, not trash! ;-) I'm with you man! I just love the idea of the center
mounted seat and everything. Thoroughly thought out car!
