    TDA fee on the invoice

    Many dealerships will not do contract at your house because its considered solicitation, thus some states have a 3-day cool off period if they sign at your house.

    Antenna replacement: has anyone tried these non-stubby ones?

    I used the stubby antenna and that autozone screw thing and it didn't work so well cuz it didn't pick up the signals that well....so I'm looking for a shorter, yet more functional antenna than the stubbies. I just want it shorter than the OEM so it doesn't scrape the celing whenever I go into...
