That was me that made that comment, and I'm stickin' to it. The big reason that all cars have A/C and all those toys is because that is how the dealers order them in. We have no real choice. If you want a new car, you take what is on the dealers lot.
Now let's go back a few years. The dealers had only 2 or 3 brand new "demonstrator" cars on the show room floor.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
