Well I was out tody getting a couple cans of carpet paint at Advance Auto to finish my head liner. Well the lines were alittle long so rather than wait in it I figured kill some time walking around the store. Maybe I could find some other toy to get later.

Well I went by the antennas and saw something new. It was called a Deluxe Universal Amplified Antenna by AutoWorks. It is a rectangle shaped box that has 2 carbon fiber looking things out both sides. IT sticks to your window or fiber glass spot inside your vehicle then hooks to a 12v line or your antenna led (so it turns off with your radio like a power updown jobber).

Well I know th2 2 guys there today and said dos this work. The one said he never knew they had one. The otehr ssaid he had seen them and heard they worked. I said hell I'm gonna try it. I had to buy an adapter for it and hook up to myamp for the signal to turn on but as soonas I did I was able to get all the stationn i could get before. It's sweet. Nothing on the outside of the car. Actually i had my mom sit in my car and look and she said she didnt notice it. I love this thing. I bearly use the radio but its nice to have.

The part number if you interested is - AT-UA200

Tomorrow i am going to change one thing...I have it hooked up to my amp. The only problem is that I have a switch on that same line to turn my amp off which also turns the power to the antenna off though. So since I have alot of my interior out rigt now I am going to run anotehr line for just it. That way if th stereo is on its on...and I can still turn my amp on and off.

I knew I could find something like this...just didnt know where to look. WOO HOO!!!

Sorry I get excited about my car realy easily cause I am working on it myself. I was in the garage the otehr day and my door was open. I just loked out and told my mom - "I wanna go hump my car". I take pride in my car. IT may not be a fancy ride but its mine...I own it and I am putting in what I want. Older car...yes. Granny mobile...maybe. But its has been there for me...gets me to work and I love my ride. My mom was gonna try get me on th overhauling. I was like hat would be cool..then said nah....I wanna do it myself. You have to pay sales tax anyway the show's applications says so...why bother. I can just pay for it myself and I want the car to looks like I want it to look.

I wish i soulc find a set of racing seats for my car with my aloha pattern in it!!!!!

If overhauling would install a hybrid engine for me then we would be talking! LOL!

I bought one of those radio antenna amplifiers. I was so mad, maybe mine was defective. I couldnt return it, and I had spent a whole 16 dollars on it. When I turned it on, I actually LOST stations. AM radio came in a little better but FM stations got further away.

I started putting the plastic moldings back in taht go around the doors and such. I painted them silver and I have painted the headliner and carpet black. The contrast from the black to the silver just looks so sweet. I have to paint the plastic around the dome lights next which will be silver also. ITs so cool looking.

Just wish I could increase the gas mileage...esp when i woke up to 2.03 a gallon this freaking morning!!!
