[Christ]

I very briefly, and as an adolescent, thought of isolating the grounding system of cars to a few key points, making the entire car essentially an antenna, for cell-phone/radio/CB/etc transmissions.

I quickly realized how expensive this proposition could be, both with materials and working-time per model, and literally the planning and development to enter such a new structure into the traditional automotive model.

Apparently, running a few extra wires is a huge burden, basically.
