Oh, well... this is just the iceberg's peak.
Try to buy a car on that site and you'll receive a "sorry, you're using a
nerd browser", unless you're using IE.
I tested it with my Mozilla 1.5b and it was classified as "low end browser"
in the URL.
They call it "configurator"... I call it "how to lose potential customers".

This is what happens when de facto standards are blindly followed.
