Horrible California Commute

Post by spidernut »

You always here about the horrible California commute. Well, we had an unusually warm day today - 85 degrees! I couldn't resist taking pictures along my "horrible California commute" home. :D

The best part is that I can intercept photos from the Mars Rovers and upload them to my cell phone using that antenna before NASA releases them :mrgreen:

Beautiful drive and a beautiful car.
Watch out for that antenna going over the bridge.
Clearance is 14'6". 8)
The wheels and that silver paint were meant for each other.

So, who is the manufacturer of this antenna? I'd love to purchase one for myself.
