Good advice, Tim.

When I lived in Hawaii, though, I couldn't go by those clearance
"Tell-tales".  They must have used a pole to check clearances and not a
long vehicle.  The way the ramps were in many parking garages, you could
easily get into trouble going between levels even though their signs
indicated you'd be OK.

This has saved my roof vent a couple of times when getting into parking garages - just go slow and watch the antenna tip when you get to the clearance sign hanging in the opening of most garages.
