you either get a perfect picture or no picture, so if your reception is snowy at the moment it'll clear it right up!

You have to find out what channels you can recieve and use the right band antenna with the correct polarization. It is quite in depth and it took 2 days before I got mine set up properly, but it is possible. Plus my STB is a lemon and was from day one. http://www.dtvforum.info/ Very helpfull |

. I said you have to set it up properly, so to take full advantage. The better it's setup the less likely it is to be corrupted.

i honestly would have taken the Bemma for the simply fact i love big cars and the whole setup deal (driver programable computer)... i just love the idea. yeah it was slow but so was the oh so loud, small, aerodynamic Aston lol
Ascari also looks like it could take the trophy for "stock drifter" lol

That show is pollers dream. every week we can post up a poll over which car you would choose.
P.S I'd take the 911 in a second. Best stance ever on a coupe.
