Try this, remove your alternator, smash it with a hammer and then find the pieces that pick up iron filings. Then, I will send you a cookie.


Whoah there, don't do that Peter! Michael, that's a $600 custom-built alternator that used to live in my 98 Amigo... And IIRC, Peter hasn't even paid me for it yet. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> At this point, tho, years later, all debts forgiven.

Anyway, thanks for the lengthy and in-depth explanation. That's exactly what I was begging and pleading for -- clarity even if it was a little dizzying. I wouldn't exactly call it ignorance of the laws of physics -- tho I would say comments like that are generally more appropriate over on Pirate... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" /> Regardless, that was the explanation I was trying to get out, with full awareness of more laws of physics than most people and a 4.0 GPA back in my days at Stevens. Don't forget I've challenged the laws of physics and lost more times than most people too. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" /> How many people can say they physically blew up 2 cars in 3 days without that being the intended goal?
