If the weather is half way decent, I would advise walking! Some years their parking is OK, and others, it's a joke! They do charge to park BTW, so that might be another reason to walk, if it's doable. Show up right as the doors open. By noon, it's crazy. Saturday's are busier than Friday's.

The Cardinal is a good place to eat. Just wish they had a little more Blue there!!! But Louisville is also a great school.

Check page one, post one for new status(es), also sadly I can't find my still camera so if i can't find it I won't be able to post pictures unless I figure a way to get stills off my digital camera, which I think may be possible, but don't know how good they will be

Ok, found the video camera and figured out the still function of it (yay) and got a few new items for the ol girl to spruce her up (a xmas gift for my self and the truck 
) the following is what I got.
New replacement horns
Antenna (radio)
LED 194 bulbs in White and Amber
and well I did what I could in the cold weather which isnt much but better then nothing 
and with out further to do the ****
The LED bulbs (194)
Figured time to replace the license bulbs...
time to replace the antenna (all of 5 minutes)
Some shots of the two to compare size...
Found that my antenna really isnt needed, so if i wanted I could just unscrew it and take the new thing back and also toss the old, as the radio came in clear with out it...so I guess I have an internal antenna some where else (odd but what ever) so I figured the black is there just for looks I guess....anyways hope you enjoyed the pr0n....

I agree with the OEM antenna. Like Texas said I pulled the ball off mine then shortened it and stuck the ball back on. Looks much much better.
I put pics on here somewhere. I lost all my pics when my computer died 2 weeks ago..
Also hope you didn't pay much for those LEDs. I know auto zone sells them for Wayyyyy to much. Ebay has them for super cheap and its the same thing.

well I will give it a try and see how I like it how will the ball pop off, does it just screw off?
I paid $6-7 for each pair I think, I know the white were $7, also as for your computer if you still have its hard drive and didn't reformat it and all I might be able to recover your pictures too

the ball pulls off. if you have a vise close it loosley around the antenna
shaft and pull real quick the ball will pop off when it hits the vise jaws.
if you dont have a vise the same principal can be done with vise grips.
just to let you know the antenna shaft is tapered, you will have to file
or grind down the shaft after you cut it to fit the ball back on.

ok thats what I thought, unfortunately I am stuck with the little black thing then
as I don't have the means to grind it down (live in an apartment so space is tight) and I don't want to loose the ball and risk it going some where never to be found (like many things seem to go lately)...I will be looking for an alternative tho...thanks!
