xzzy posted:Given none of the body is metal I would think they could conceal antennas somewhere else but maybe regulations don't allow it? Carbon Fibre is a decent conductor. So putting your antennas inside is like putting them in a Faraday cage. They could make a part of the wing out of fibreglass and stick it in there.

That little wire looking thing smack in the center of the hood right in front of the driver is probably not an airfoil. (the thing a couple feet foot in front of it certainly is) http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/mercedes-2016-side.jpg Configuration on most cars is roughly similar.

Every company I've been with (in TX) has either said "nope" or "yeah, we offer zero deductible glass coverage... so long as you have a $0 deductible for your comprehensive coverage! Oh, you actually want that? Okay, here's a quote for $assrape$ without a reacharound or lube.  Why are you laughing? Why are you bitching about the monthly payment being as much as your rent/mortgage/whatever?!?"Changing the comp deductible to $0 quadrupled my premiums the one time I checked.

EDIT: fixed because I reposted this same event B4Ctom1 posted:Left home for a meeting 10 minutes early in my 2009 Outback. 40 minutes for a 30 minute trip. 10 miles of gravel county road and then a short trip on the interstate into town. I get about 1 mile from the house and move to the edge of the road as a larger truck is coming the opposite direction.  I asked Rick to save the offending item which I knew would be in the tire still. It looks much longer than it appears in the image, only 6" long. From what I can tell, it appears to be one of those T-handle combination screwdriver/wrench tools provided in someone else's tire change kit. Obviously with the wrench bit broken off, but you can still see the weld that was left over where it attached. The tire-irony is not lost on me. I intend to have that wheel patched and used as a full size spare as the spare tire well is sized to accommodate a full sized spare. Putting 60 miles (including 20 miles of sharp gravel road known to kill known good tires) on a safety donut was nerve wracking. B4Ctom1 fucked around with this message at 16:09 on Dec 30, 2016 |

Was gonna say, my '70 Cutlass has one in the windshield. My Crown Vic, on the other hand, happens to be the only year since the square ones to have a mast antenna. On the rear fender.

xzzy posted:It takes a special kind of rear end in a top hat to plant a tree that produces nuts next to a driveway. Some rear end in a top hat PO of my house planted a goddamned pine tree 3 feet from the street and driveway. Pine sap and pine needles on and in everything unless you parked on the other side of the driveway, or six or eight feet down the street. I was so happy when it died. Of course, then I had to pay someone to take it down (didn't own the necessary tools at the time.)

Without putting much thought into it I was glad to see simple radio masts had made a comeback. That's because I was thinking back to retractable antennas that broke easily and sometimes leaked water over their electronics and into the trunk. Forgetting that better technology has been available for decades and thinking that an antenna is just part of the look of a car, it's easy to ignore.InitialDave posted:Cheap Ebay Jalopnik did an article about just that years ago. I had a friend do this after having her radio torn out a while back. All she wants to do is stream from her phone so it's great. Some of those mini amps even come with USB charging ports now.

Shrugs Not Drugs posted:And if you've got cold solder on the $1500 ABS module in your $1000 truck (they all do prior to '02, and if you buy one from a hillbilly there's enough mud around that you can't really take the top off to fix it even after multiple washes) you may have no indicator those bearings have gone until a wheel falls off (the rest of the front end is usually too far into its 50k mile replacement interval to give you enough feedback to tell you something's wrong). This cold solder also results in an always-on brake warning light (assuming your cluster has enough life left to indicate anything but the price of tea in China) which means you can lose hardlines to rust (which happens all the time) and have no idea until that panic stop results in an awfully low pedal that's now sinking constantly. The front ABS sensors also like to corrode up and, if the module does function, it just thinks that wheel is locked up regardless of what's actually going on and can leave you with no brakes that way. Not that you'll have time between fuel pump failures to get going fast enough to need to stop ever. And even if you do need to stop sometime, the parking shoes in the hat drums are perpetually about to fall off their hilariously inadequate mounting tabs and jam up so you've just got to wait for that inevitability to hopefully grind you to a screeching halt before you hit anything. This gave me such a weird hate boner due to my pure seething rage with these trucks. I work with a plow company that uses trucks of this vintage and lemme tell you salt fucks those bearings/sensors real quick. Some trucks go through sensor every end of season. gently caress those trucks and there poo poo ecm location. Oh god and on the vans of that era the window sill drips water right down on it.
