That makes no sense at all. What does a retractable antenna have to do with the LSD?
I had the LS package, which came with dead cow skin, Bose audio (rocks), 15" rims, body kit, and typically ridiculously ineffective fog lights. It took more than a month to locate one with my other preferences--no ABS and an LSD. I recall the LSD and ABS are standalone options. I'm sure to within machine epsilon the retractable antenna came with the LS package.

Right now I'm in an effing Malibu, and no not the shockingly not horrible new gen.

Yeah, cruising eBaymotors, I can't conclusively tell. Some NBs have antennas up, some down, and none of them list the LSD as an option. But the LSD is something a lot of owners would probably just forget about and not list.
Sorry to crap up your thread.

I'm thinking about selling my Miata...if you were a little closer, I'd let you test drive it.

! that's very nice, and I can only assume it was well maintained and driven hard all the time
Is the supercharger nice and low boost?

I've never been outdoors west of Pittsburgh (totally serious).
my insurance company is going to give me like $5 for my car (realistically I don't expect over $4000) so yeah.. who knows if I can get anything over a junker.

Considering what I'll get for my car if it's a write-off the saabaru won't happen. I'll be lucky if I can find a second gen protege that runs for $4k. No way can I finance.. no job until ~ september.

If it isn't totalled, I'm also screwed because my carfax report will show that the car was in two serious accidents, the car is rusting, etc. No one would buy it after seeing the carfax, no dealer would take it as trade because of the mods (obviously I would go 'back to stock' but it would take many weekends of work to do so)..

I don't know what they'll give, I'm just guessing. Either way.. no matter what they give me, it doesn't even pay for half of a stock Protege5 so basically if my car is totalled I'm going to have to drive some junker after pouring my heart, soul, and hard-earned money into my Protege --all because some idiot didn't get the memo that traffic was completely stopped and had been for a WHILE.
