So yet another motorized antennae craps out on me (this one didnā€™t even last 8 months). :mad: At about $160+ a fucking pop, I need to find another solution. Anybody have any suggestions on a fab antennae that is SMALL with good reception? The smaller the better. Ideally an inch high or so (if there is even one that small). Post pics or links. ---

i got a studdy antenna for my 300zx cause i was having the same problem(the whole antenna fell out at 100+ mph and was just flapping and swinging and hitting my car). It just screwed right in and gets better reception in my opinion ---

Get the Perrin one for the EVO, its a stubby to match _your_ other things. Do a search on EBAY!! for the EVO and pick up one of the cheap ones. Its just an antennaā€¦ ---

I said fuggit on the Miata, and put on a cheap $10 Pepboys antenna. Then again, you know me, that car may be without a stereo really soon, as I can really live without it when Iā€™m driving with the top down, as I did even back and forth to Seneca Army Depot this summerā€¦ ---
