    A perfect reason why you should always keep the original filter - so you can throw it in when washing the aftermarket one.

    Added extra awesomeness to its original awesomeness.
    I think I heard that will cause the car to blow up at any given unsuspecting time. I would just park it by the curb for bulk trash day, it is useless now.

    Up there where it's cold right now if he stayed on the pavement and there was no sand, not to worry.
    If he was on the beach doing donuts then an ass kicking might be in order. IMHO:D

    even in dusty conditions you will be fine. you may need to change the oil, but you'll be fine. 15 minutes was nothing.

    WOW I had the exact same thing happen, and it was around the time it started getting cold. I wonder if the hot, cold, hot, cold weather had anything to do with it.

    Exact same problem too with the throttle response, so one day I just opened the hood, and man I felt like a freakin tard when I saw the filter just rolling around in it's box.
