I got faith in my Buckeyes.

Can't Argue there.

BTW..Its Called Inductive Load. And yes...as soon as you turn on the lights, the output of the alternator will increase to match the new demand whther you believe it or not, especially on newer computer controlled cars that directly control the Alternator from the PCM. Would you also like to argue this point as well? You were looking for something you didnt ask for...a technical answer. I explained in layman's terms to suit the need of most here who wouldn't know what an Inductive magnetic field was. SOrry for trying to please the masses. I said it requires more poweer to turn...It does...End of Story. YOu were wrong...on all counts.

Ummm..You no. YOu don't have a valid point. It does make a difference based on the load the actual ALternater sees depending on what is running in the car. (The load) The more power being consumed(or created) requires more energy to turn the alternator. The alternator does not comsume a "Set" amount of power from the engine..It depends on its output which varies by the need of the vehicle at any given time based on its load. SO yes...I will say it again....It does change the enrgy consumption of an Engine. No If, and's or But's about it. Fact. End of story. (Now..would you likely see that miniscule amount on yor gas bill...No...But multiply it by 1,000,000 cars on the road and there is potential for a serious waste of energy. You missed my point)

No Energy on earth....Is free. Energy cannot be created or Destroyed..Only changed from state to state. Fact.

I absolutely am..and if you look at the big picture it could be a waste of an enourmous amount of energy. I figured the governmental Hippies would have been all over this shit. But seriously..the more amp load you put on your battery , the harder the alternator has to work and the harder the motor has to work to turn the alternator which requires more fuel(energy) t o maintain. SO yes..It wastes energy. Got it....Good.

Does it not take power to light the bulb, which is created by the turning of the alternator, which is turned by the engine which is fueld by petrol? Does the load of the alternator not require the engine to use more fuel? Multiply this by Every car on the ROad...Its a LOT of wasted energy.

We deal with idiots everyday that cant see us...SO I think its just another way for thee dept's and the state o try to bring in Revenue.

I think its a BS law...Just because you need your wipers.....DOesn't always mean you need headlights. What a way to wast energy. But yeah DRL and Auto Headlights FTW.

My 600 is worth more than your Duke....SO it would be a trade the other way with your baike and some Cash for the DUke. Thats what I mean.

What size motor is on this thing? Any interest in trading the other way for my '06 600RR with 3700 miles on it?

But they have a warranty..so not sure how you can go wrong.

Thats not even cool....not even as just a story.

I still have all kinds of stuff....If your willing to take other colors, I am sure we could work things out. Or by my whole Nice set and have a nice bike. I dunno....Just some options. I also trade/Wheel and deal...LMK

Sure do. It keeps all of this nonsense from sinking directly into my brain. BTW , do you have any pet aliens...If you do we can have Show and Tell sometime.

One WOrd. Mismanagement By all parties, at all levels, State and federal.

My exact thoughts when I read the FIrst Obama COmment. WTF does obama have to do with a state tax...WHat fcking idiots.

HOw can they retro back almost a year on your taxes? I mean we all have witholding based on our Exemtions,, and them changing the tax you "Should" have paid all year may make you owe tax in a lump sum that otherwise you would have already paid and not noticed spread out over the year. WTF?

Ya don't say..... NOt bustin' your balls or anything...but yeah...I think I called this in post numero #2. LOL!

Back on up.....Its COld, THere are Tax Credits Available for replacing your system of 30% of the cost up to 1.500 credit..Replace your work out system with a new one while it can save you money.

you got a banned box? I have a spare 360...neither are banned.

wow...sucks to be you. F that.

And a Nicely built Vette. Its cool and all...but I would take the Vette.

Too bad Geo Thermal relies on a constant ground temp of 55* to cool and HEAT your home. Wild huh....55*...thats all.

KK...Not sure what your point was with that post. And to Gump..I hear ya on Fual oil...I do HVAC and yes, that is about the most expensive form of heat o have in a home these days right next to propane. Have you seriously considered a heat pump for your home and getting rid of the dinosaur you have in the Fuel oil?
