Rear Window Decal Removal - I Need Help!

As much as I liked their sporty appearance, those brown racing stripes on the rear window were really distracting me, so I got an x-acto™ knife and carefully pealed them all off. It was pretty easy except for that part that connected to some wire thing, but the pliars took care of that.

It's really strange, but all of a sudden my radio stopped working. It's as if the car is mad at me for taking off the racing stripes? I know it sounds crazy, but the only thing I can think of is that some NASCAR™ fan was upset that I had the only car on the road without the racing stripes and was mad at me? I don't know. Anyone have any idea?

TIA

You could be in big trouble.......those brown strips were the ACS personal monitoring devices. Their function is to check to see how much Zaino was applied on a weekly basis and whether you were snorting it or not.

Very good stuff everyone......the Yankees are making a big comeback against the A's so I'm naturally high.

It's April! What use would the Yankees be if we didn't give you guys false hope in April only to crush them like a grape in September and October

That said, you've got better pitching and you've got better hitters, and you've got better chemistry, and you've got better role-players so this had better be your year or it's never, ever going to happen in your lifetime.

Enjoy the pressure!

Don't know what a roof spoiler is, but I relocated that square looking logo thing to the trunklid where the "A" logo used to be as I think it looks cool there.

Oh, and on each wheel there are these five screws or nuts or something that are just decorative and are adding weight, so I'm going to remove them before I leave the office today. Figure it'll help gas milage and maybe even handling?

Guys, still no luck.....ever since I removed those tacky rear window decals I cannot get good radio reception.

Anyone have this problem? Anyone install an aftermarket AM/FM antenna on the car? Is it tough to get one of those electric ones that go up/down electronically?

TIA

Sure, drill a hole, install an antenna, lose resale.
