Joe, missed you by several minutes methinks. Can you PM me an e-mail addy and I\'ll e-mail transfer you some moolah; don\'t want you to be out of pocket - I\'ll pick it up sometime later this week. Dropped by RHSS on Saturday, but you were off.

Would the person who picked up the last stubby from Flipspeed today, please PM me with your address. I have a special extra gift for you; it involves a crowbar and your knees!

GRRRR, that was my stubby!!








Fortunately, Joe hooked me up with another great deal though. Thanks Joe!!! :D

dumb question, but depending on where I get a stubby, reliability and stuff, you think the quality of it will change?! or are they all pretty standard?

Doesn\'t really matter to you how many stars (daggers in this case) you have beside your name. Let\'s just say your nickname\'s gonna be \"stubby\" after I\'m done with you.

The damn dryer broke off the stubby! I get out of the car and it\'s laying there on the ground and the threads are stuck to the base of the antenna. Time to move on and get another one. :D :D :D

With my razor blade skills I trimmed the base just right. Reception is a lot better than stock but the same as the Aerio one.

Flipspeeds new stubby looks like the H2 one. Both have to be trimmed as well.

I like how they flow into the base nicely.

FLIPDADY
03-11-2005, 09:18 AM
Actually the reception on the Spec-5 antenna isn\'t as good as the Aerio one.

lol... I can\'t believe there are soooo many posts regarding stubby\'s.. and I went through every page and read it all.. wooo....

sooooo juss wondering... Flipspeed, you said that you went though a car wash and it broke off. was it that specific antenna or all stubby\'s in general. I was thinking I\'d get the H2 stubby. does that mean that I have to take it off everytime I go though a car wash??

I don\'t know about the Kia/Suzuki antennas, but I\'ve been through a couple of carwashes with my H2 antenna and I haven\'t had to remove it once...it\'s quite flexible.

03-23-2005, 07:07 AM
hey.. im looken to buy a tubby.. i baught one off of ebay for like 6$, but it is just the extendable one. i was wondering if the H2 stubby is good or what other one i should get. anyways i know some of you are selling them, so tell me how much and most likely i will get it.:)

bluntman
03-23-2005, 07:56 AM
Personally, I don\'t like the rigid stubbies that you find on eBay, I bought two of them. I like the flexible stubbies like the one you\'ll find on the H2 or Honda Element or S2000 (go to the respective dealerships for those).

FLIPDADY
03-23-2005, 06:29 PM
I went to a Esso touchless wash but I forgot to remove it before I went in. By the time the wash was done I saw the that they had a drop down dryer. I saw the dryer pass over the windshield and I was like ****!! I hear some loud bang on the roof and as I pull out I see the stubby on the ground. From now on I\'m only gong to coin-op washes. I get more for my money.

bluntman
03-23-2005, 07:27 PM
Go to a Sunoco car wash...no drop down dryer.

someone had a pic of it.. i forget where.. but he was balancing the stock antenna on the stubby.. it\'s a LITTLE wider than the base.. it annoyed me for all of 30sec. then i stepped a bit back and couldn\'t tell a diff..

i like the aerio.. just need to wait a little for Joe to order.. H2 is nice form what i hea (and flexible)r.. but requires minimal cutting/trimming.. kia doesn\'t sounds as good as stock/aerio.. s2k stubby is very similar to H2 AFAIK..

s2000/element stubby is the same as the aerio.

the H2 is similar to the kia and the hyundai (tucson)

There\'s been a problem with the stubbies. I couldn\'t buy them from the new Suzuki owner\'s yesterday because they were doing their inventory. Now they want to charge me the regular price less 15%. Which in my opinion isn\'t worth it. Sorry for the inconvenience.

yeah i know its an old-ass thread but it was damn helpful.

i just picked up my aerio stubby at richmond hill suzuki (they had some in stock!) and its awesome.
i think it looks pretty slick, even though its a little wide at the base, and i\'m pretty sure
the reception is better than with the stock.
