Michael:

Can you give me the information on that N M O mount you describe?

Might be a good possibility, although I wonder how well an antenna mounted 
so low on the car body would do, especially with the lack of a sufficient 
ground plane beneath it.

they make a very very nice nmo mount that secures to the trunk with 4 set 
screws that do not even drill into the body, the rest of the mount is rubber 
covered so it is invisible when removed from the car. also there are some 
good glass mount antennas, but they only work if you don't have tinted 
glass, and most cars have that unfortunately  there is also another type of 
mount that goes behind the license plate where the plate mounts to the car. 
Those are good enough for een a hamstick antenna, or a big colinear 2m 
antennaand leave absolutely no marks on the car whatsoever
