    When congress can't even decide on what to have for lunch - this bill is moving through congress like a wild fire.

    About time... :cautious:

    Locking in owners to dealer-only repairs, or in worst case, formerly-simple home repairs either voiding warranty, or made such that huge bills are forced so OEM-only parts must be purchased, is highwayman shite. Hope it passes as RTP needs traction in many other industries as well.

    Had heard of the jailbreaking farmers have had to do to be free to work without the extravagant fees JD were charging for parts and service.
