FM Reception -Car Antenna vs. Home Antenna

I live in a hilly Northern California city. My reception on my home stereo is bad & I've tried several different home antenna's. I use a Mcintosh Tuner, so the tuner should not be the issue here.
Why is it that my reception is pretty darn good in all of my cars right outside of my house?
Why not just buy a car antenna & hook it up to my home system?
Sounds like a pretty stupid question, but what's the deal?
Thanks in advance for your time.

Try a Magnum Dynalab whip antenna. It is essentially the same as a car antenna. I have also had luck with Godar Model 1:

The real solution is to install a rooftop, but that does not work for most.
