The guy is an idiot, leaving his antenna installed while going through a rotating car wash is never a good idea.

Military Grade antenna ?

That's poor design to place the radio antenna in that location, on the side of the fender instead of on the top. They should know that it would be in a bad area for car washes.

Rotating brush washes or any mechanical contact wash for that matter, is akin to dropping your machine into a garbage disposal full of sand an stone. There's an expensive "live and learn".

I can't wait for the bi metal battles of time synching into these masters of engineering compilations...

 

the beginning is just mechanical slaps to the girly face.

 

woops.

I mean girly slaps to the mechanical face. No need for domestic abuse.

 

domestic abuse.

Dude drives a FERD what did you expect? Next time any of you see one put your thumb in the exact middle of the door and push in and feel yourself.......I started laughing when I did recently. FERD'S a joke then they want me to say yes to a V6....get f*&%^*&

[mookdoc6]

The best part is how those V6's just literally come undone after 60-70K.....nonsense!

And a GM truck will do the same. So will a Ram so will a Toyota. They use stupidly thin metal on vehicles now.

Yeah, no kidding. The last day I had that P.O.S. 2006 Taco, I was standing in the bed washing it and leaned VERY GENTLY on the top of the X-Cab with my left hand and the top caved in and left a permanent dent 1/2 inch deep and a foot across. The next day I traded it in for the GMC.

They are all super thin compared to a just a few years ago I understand/know. Just feel the door of a AL F150 is all I am saying and make a determination yourself is all!

heh, we ran our truck though the car wash today, and the VERY FIRST thing I told dad to do (I was driving) before we entered was "Remove the Antenna!"

Ah hell we all know Ford stands for Found On road Dead but even if you spell it backwards it is Driver Returning On Foot. Either way Be Wary .
