The advantages of having a stubby.

[teeps]

To add fuel to the fire , this thread exalts the advantages of having a sleek, sporty, yet still perfectly functioning stubby aerial over the ungainly, laughable, and quite frankly ridiculous whip antenna.

To get us started, it's more aerodynamic. Proof:

There is less to clean...

The stubby actually looks like an ambient temperature sensor plugged in the wrong place.

But actually, it can be turned into an advantage - just the question of moving the wires and toggling between the modes: road surface temperature / ambient temperature.

Great pic!

Talking of the stubby looking like another instrument plugged in the wrong place but does widen the colour options available to stubby fanciers.

Is that a butt plug? Do stubby-fanatics go for these too?

the bodywork looks disrupted..when that stubby was added, was the bodywork dented outwards?

That's what happens when you force it in.

Probably just a trick of the light.

Re aerodynamics, can you repeat with Mr. Whippy just in case same flow lines are dead straight, and car travels 20mph faster?
