Milli reacted to Mb in EU to ban all modified cars...
So what is this about. AMG = Mercedes. Mercedes = AMG. They are not in the same factory, but they are "one". It's not that Mercedes give AMG an E320 and AMG "tune" it to an AMG. They build their own car, which goes through crash testing and stuff.
So they are not tuned.

In the event something like this passes, there will probably be a huge buyout of ECU chips prior to it going into effect. Anything undetectable visually will occur; in the US, catless vehicles are banned, but I personally know a plenty of people who run catless, and plenty of shops that certify them.
It does matter - that's the whole issue. There's a reason the types of modifications in question are called "aftermarket" parts; you buy them post-purchase, after the market. If Mercedes sells an AMG car to its first owner, that car is stock. In other words, it is as it came from the factory. Once the owner chips it, gets bigger wheels, lowers it, etc., then it becomes after market.
Shelby's the same deal in America. You can walk into a Ford dealer and ask for a 650 horsepower, 200-mph GT500, and Ford will sell it to you with a warranty, even though it's build differently than the normal Mustang.
Here's the kicker, though: the reason they don't count as modified cars is because they have to pass the same crash tests, the same emissions tests, and the same miscellaneous certifications as any other model in the range (or, at the very least, they are deemed similar enough by the government to have lesser models satisfy that requirement).
Yes, they are modified, but so is a Civic hybrid. What they aren't is aftermarket.

Obviously you missed a point here. You can buy an AMG from the factory, which would rule out the modifying rule, as you bought it like that.
Same goes with BMW Motorsport, Seat FR/Cupra, Audi S/RS etc.

It's not banning modified cars. Just cars with parts that are not certificated for road use. (For instance: Tüv)
It would make my car illegal, so this is crap :lol:

Milli got a reaction from iNotACactus in Post your desktop!
I don't care about him.
I don't have money to buy other windows, so... i keep this one.
My uncle pay that for me, so, would be really unfair i uninstall it, plus, it saved my life few times... also, i think that is better than a free avast.

Milli reacted to Ozzmcom in page layout fail
It happens a lot lately, I'm using firefox and all the layout of the homepage is squashed on to the left hand side of the screen. Also the chatbox does not load.
Happens both on my pc and my laptop, any suggestions?
