You're not grounding the mount? Be carefull.... CB's are one of those things that just because it seems to work, doesn't mean its installed correctly. You can ruin your CB that way.

I'd verify that you do indeed have NGP:

....otherwise, throw that ground back on.
OK, OK... You don't have to shout at me! (j/k) The ground is back on. I know I have a Firestik II tuneable antenna, But I still don't know if it's NGP or not.

Yes, I have driven around with it, but I've only gotten up to about 65mph locally. I have a medium duty spring on mine, so that should bend before the hood does! So far, no problems.
