Re: [DML] Re: Upgrading the Air Filter

["Mike Polzin" <MPolzin@xxxxxxx>]

I guess the thing that bothers me about this "discussion" is that I have to
sit here and defend a product that I have been using for over a year against
people who haven't used it, and thus can't possibly have a clue as to its
value. I guess no matter what, people are going to argue especially when you
decide to change the car from its stock configuration.

So, I am going to drive around with my shiney stainless steel air box and
show it off at car shows, along with my stainless steel fuel lines, and
custom exhaust and let people ooh and ahh about how cool this thing looks.
They will know I take pride in my car, as the Delorean purists walk by and
sneer. At least I am enjoying it!

Mike
