> you don't drive a GMC into parking garages anyway
Bridges might be an issue tho.
A major antenna manufacturer (Shakespeare) made an antenna for the military
that was supposed to bend when hitting bridges and the like. When tested,
one lot snapped instead of bend. Shakespeare took the entire lot, chopped
the base off, added a handle, and gave them away at a trade show as walking
sticks. Sadly they were out by the time I realized it and got by their
booth.
