I would keep the external antenna. I think the one in the windshield is kinda crappy. I get a lot of static on most stations. If I jump in my mothers car, with a normal antenna, they all come in fine.

I was thinking that it might be a cool mod to get one of the powered antennas that raise up and down. I'm not sure if it would fit, but you could prob find one cheap at a junkyard. IIRC, the Olds Alero's and higher end Ford Taurus' had them.
