RE: [DML] Re: Upgrading the Air Filter?

[Enid/Jeremiah <hispanicangeleyes@xxxxxxxxx>]

On the note of just pulling the filter out, cleaning
it, and reinstalling - I could not agree more.  I had
to pay $20 for a air filter for a 93 Suzuki
Sidekick....but for my DeLorean I bought the K&N
filter for less than it'll cost me to change the
Suzuki air filter 3 times in one year.  That sold me,
and that was only on the basis of one year, and I'll
have these vehicles for more than one year....at least
I hope =P.
