  1. Try going to Virtual Garage for their shark fin antenna. Not sure if it will work for satelite radio though. Works great on my other car though and they paint to match for $80 if i recall shipping included. I believe it came from Canada.
  2. What brand trailer hitch and is there a specific brand that fits the receiver or are they standardized? Leaning toward this option. Does it make the camera and proximity useless?
  3. How difficult is it to take on and off? Cost? Does it create much wind noise? Leaning toward the trailer hitch type for ease of install/removal, but not sure if it would make the camera useless. what do you think?
  4. You may want to try the Continental extreme contacts in a slightly wider 235/50-17. 3/10ths larger diameter will be one mile per hour or less greater than stock. The advanage is not so much the hockey puck ride of the Michelins and quieter due to the slightly higher sidewall but the Continentals are by nature, quieter than the Michelins. If you feel the FFH rides rough because of the sport suspension sway bars, this may be the ticket for you. They are stock on BMW's and Mercedes Benzes. Mileage may drop a little but are $50 per tire less expensive. Do the math for a loss of one mile per gallon, how cost effective are the Michelins then? FMC used the tires to get the high MPG ratings for CAFE stadards so they could sell more Mustangs and pickup/SUV's.

  6. Went to 0 DTE, fueled and based on tank size, there were two gallons in the tank. Went to when it turned red and fueled up indicating 8 tenths of a gallon left. Reason for doing this was to know how far before actual empty in case i have a station that couldn't operate the pumps. This happened after the Northridge earthquake when power was out for over a day and gas stations couldn't operate their pumps. Knowing that i can still travel around 80 miles from 0 DTE. Don't plan on doing this regularly. I have another car that when is says low fuel, there is over 5 gallons left in the 19.8 gallon tank, which makes the warning useless. My old crown vic said empty when there were two gallons left. BTW i've only filled up 3 times. First tank was 40 mpg based on actual fuel used, not what the display said. Second tank was 40.2 mpg and third was 40.4 mpg all about half city and highway.
