Hi Patton and welcome to the forum. Needlebender has the best option for you in my opinion. Never drill and mount an antenna to the roof of your car unless you fancy doing some serious damage to the bodywork off roading. Been there and done it in my works tractor, not a good idea. Over here we do foxhunts which involves a lot of off roading and puts most antenna's through their paces.
The base loaded antenna's such as the red devil which is similar to what Needlebender was talking about are cheap, effective and you dont mind when they get battered about off roading. They do have a tendency to go open circuit after about three years but who cares at 20 bucks, you just go get another or do a quick 10 minute repair with a couple of screws. If you do get an antenna thats expensive, prepare yourself for the tears when it gets battered.
