No joke, That was the first thing I saw. I didnt see the CB arial until I took a second look. Those are some big *** tires.

Edit : why do kids nowadays have PAs mounted under the hood. Ive had a few yell at me on me in the 968 to "get on it".

A smaller sidewall would make it handle alot better. My 84' has something similar to that on the rear when I got it and it handled a bit sloppy. I wouldnt just go buy new tires until those are about shot, unless your made of money or performance is an issue. Nice fuchs BTW. Ive always had a soft spot for em.

Shorter sidewalls do not automatically handle better, thats an old wives tale perpetuated by people who don't buy good tires. Better tires handle better.

Hey babe back to pick you up later.. I am on the radio! - Mr Microphone

I think I would just end up in jail with one of those. My hand gestures are probably enough.

So any way, what is the antenna for? CB or are you an amateur radio operator? These cares are not conducive to aestheticly pleasing antenna installations. I've been trying to find a nice VHF FM antenna for ham radio and to no avail yet.
