That's the exact reason I hate standard antenna's. I love having a power antenna. Looks more reasonable. The antenna is a part that almost never looks cool.
Factory 300hp Rice?

I actually like antennae in the rear quarter panel if they angle back and don't go straight up, in the fender or on the a-arm depends on the car but most look hella ugly.

I agree. I think RICE denotes "looking fast" without actually being fast. The STi and Evo ARE fast! The 2.5RSs and 2.5GTs of the late-90s, early-00s were not fast, yet had the same adornments.

I liked the 2.5GT hoods though. I like my 94's hood even more though

I've always talked about how cool it would be to have two reverse gears

Growing up, we always used to back out of my friend's driveway and see how far we could go driving in reverse. Two gears would've made it a lot more fun

No, it's self-propelled. You can actually ride it if you prop your feet up on it.
And you can shift on the fly without a clutch!

If you had a bunch of money to blow, you could always get reverse cut gears. mmmm 5 reverse gears, 1 forward gear. That would scare the crap out of people.
I was behind a truck in Ocean City over Senior Week. It was an Escalade. But the rear had a front clip on it. Scariest thing ever. It was a custom shop's "business truck". 2 Escalade front ends, it was pimped to the max.
