If I only buy a "license to use", does that mean you can revoke my license, and take my vehicle back? I deal with some of this stoopidity daily. For instance, I cannot buy a new valve body for a transmission from Mercedes. The owner of the vehicle must purchase it directly from Mercedes, and have it installed and programed by Mercedes. It is that way for other manufacturers, too, and getting worse. They are trying to make it to where NO-ONE can work on ANY vehicle except an authorized dealer.Now...this mess doesn't really apply to our Oldwings, but...some of ya'll also drive newer vehicles....this bs could certainly effect you on those vehicles. I seriously doubt it will ever actually come to pass, tho, as written. The aftermarket side is quite vocal, and they do carry a lot of weight. SEMA has been able to kill several bills like this in the past.</blockquote>
