Alright, trying this again now that other Germans are awake,

holy fucking shit TUV is so fucked
i'm sorry for u anon
can you not install the horn button yourself?

....And there's a thread over there with Europeans bragging about how amazing their car culture is.

I rest my fucking case.

>>16728468
That sounds fucking stupid. Tow car home. or have tow truck take you around the block drop car and then drive it home. reinstall factory shit.

Am american so i would just tell that shop to fuck off and give me my car back. drive it home

This can't be real.

>>16728491
They won't let me work there or I already would have done that

>>16728499

>wheels fall off

In Germany we have the autobahn, we can't have retards fucking with their cars putting everyone in danger.

>>16728502
My home is much farther than the nearest shop, so it would take more money to do that.

>>16728689
How do they inspect the back of the button without taking it off the steering wheel?

>>16728689
So putting a new horn button on it makes it not road worthy then, huh

>>16728695
They took it apart, but they won't install my stock one because they are there for inspections, not to perform labor to cars.

>>16728705
If it was an imitation (I know it's not) but let's say it was and it broke you would not have use of the horn, which is a safety feature. You can't just say "well this is ok but this isn't" a system of certification must be in place in a country where you can legally drive 200mph on public roads.

>>16728705
Horns aren't just for honking at whores on the street

>>16728720
Except they are

>In Germany we have the autobahn, we can't have retards fucking with their cars putting everyone in danger.

That's the go to what do for the europoors.
But German highways are largely restricted, and 99% of the traffic on them goes under 80mph.
Speed limits aren't hard limits. Stretches of highway between cities in the US average left lane traffic is commonly over 100mph.
Yes, that means that 60year old granny driving her ferd f600 superdook is doing 100 on the highway.
Speed limits don't influence driver behavior beyond increasing risk of crashing because they're looking out for the cops.
People go what speed they feel fit for the road, and if they're hooning the speed limit doesn't matter to them at all.

German just like government interaction. They like regulation. They like systems with order.
That's their culture, you can like your freedom restricting laws all you want, but don't pretend that there is a reason for them that translates well to other cultures, because it doesn't.

>>16728716
>implying your 3cyl shitbox would make it to 200mph

>>16728733
dumb ameriposter

I'm very happy that you fatbodies can drive your mom's Oldsmobile to Wal Mart and get a Dale Earnhardt made in China steering wheel installed with no certification, but nobody cares. I asked for help for my particular problem from people that know what they are talking about (that's not you, if you couldn't figure that out Americans).

>>16728753
They can't just push your car out to the parking lot while you make it roadworthy again?

I like how you do things Germany, I really do.
But you take the rulefagging far too far sometimes.

>>16728726
on some streets you have to honk before every corner

>>16728716
>tfw my daily hasn't had a horn for 5+ years
>passes inspection 'errytime
>if someone is doing something stupid on the road I carry a box of pennies(coins for the euros) and just hurl them at them
>works everytime

>>16728792
Maybe in some European shithole. Not in my America though

>>16728689
Can't really enjoy the Autobahn when the government takes your car for installing a fucking button

>>16728808
the america you're talking about isn't yours

>>16728753
I would suggest moving to a country where the government doesn't steal your car.

This sounds like bullshit, a horn button does not need to be certified, if it's swappable it shouldn't matter anyway because you're driving some old shitbarge with no airbags anyway

>take car to inspection
>inspector's running a bit late, I grab some coffee on the house
>finally comes out and drives my car onto the suspension testers and brake tester
>all pass, tell him the 10% difference in the rear is because I literally just replaced the rear discs and pads last saturday along with the springs and bearings
>nods, says it'll usually take some time for them to bed themselves in anyway
>inspector doesn't check if windshield- and headlight washers are working, doesn't even test the windshield wipers
>asks about the wire coming from the alternator going nowhere, tell him it's to jump start the alt if it doesn't start working in the cold
>he nods
>doesn't care about my aftermarket headlights, only notes that "legally" I shouldn't duplicate my park-lights in the housing
>says it doesn't matter, won't cause a crash anyway
>doesn't say anything about my non-certified LED lights
>lifts it up, goes under and inspects the rear
>compliments on how he doesn't see any rust, notes how nicely the fresh tar on the bolts still smell
>my car passes, he only makes a note about some oil slowly leaking from the engine
>ask him what they usually say about LED-bulbs as turn signals as I point at the non-certified bulbs in my aftermarket housings
>says that they won't say anything if they don't notice
>he smiles, I smile
>says he hasn't seen a single LED bulb outside of new cars that was certified, says he doesn't really understand why they don't just set a standard for them already
>hands me my paperwork
>another year of driving
>leave positive feedback to the inspector

>>16728829

If you're so proud of being cucked by your nazi government over petty bullshit than stop whining about it and take the fucking button off your car.

>>16728689
what is keeping you from telling them you are towing it home.
>have the tow guy drive down the street like 3miles.
>drop car in parking lot.
>pay tow man for his easy as fuck short tow
>drive the rest of the way home
>put shit back at home
>drive back to place

In the real america you don't get your car inspected.
You just send the government $20 for your stickers to do your part.

>>16728845
oh neat, it's the same here in India

>>16729128
but why would you want to live in america? we have much better benefits over here
i'd say even australia or new zealand would be your better choice

>>16729168

Literally nobody needs that bullshit unless you're a massive pussy and need a doctor to constantly check to see if Jamal ripped your boipucci during your daily raping
