Default Stupid novice mistake...

Just wanted to let everyone know (or remind you if you already know) to take your antennae off when using the PC. I made the stupid mistake of hitting the antennae pretty hard w/ my PC over the weekend and took a small chunk out of the antennae. Just thought I'd save you the trouble.

i leave mine on too... am careful around it, but it would be better to take it off since it comes off so easily.

Yeah, I've never had a problem with it before, as I was always careful around it. I had it on speed of 5 (just came back from the track and had to do some aggresive detailing ). I wasn't paying as close attention this time and my hand happened to slip and hit the antennae pretty hard. Anyway, I figure since it's easy to take off, it's a worthwhile step.
