- If it's not a power antenna, and it's the stock 1-piece steel "whip"
- style Taurus antenna, it does NOT go down. It'll go thru a car wash
- just fine. It's a newer style anti-vandal antenna, you can bend it
- quite a ways without doing it any harm, and it's very easy to
- replace if you ever need do... just screws into the base. So go ahead
- and run it thru the car wash.. won't hurt the antenna a bit.
