Stupid K&N dang expensive piece of plastic garbage, because of their in-your-face marketing tactics it took more than a few months to find the OEM one for my antique car!

Everywhere I looked K&N's plastered theirs in my face and I couldn't get around it just to find the normal one, but if K&N thinks I'm sticking their mod on an original antique they are dreaming for sure.

Washable filters, in what, cold water?
How is cold water going to get rid of road grime?
If dust was the worst that got on a filter we could just shake the paper ones clean.
And just how safe is it to throw the K&N thing in either the dish or the clothes washer, is it all right to do that? Because by the time I hand wash it with warm soapy water I could've just got a $5 paper one and been done with it.

So since I buy all my cars used the first thing I'll be sure to do is look under the hood, make sure it's got an OEM filter, and if it doesn't I RUN!
