you can't see the water cause there's too much dirt!

but if its so dirty everyone else's car stopped running then maybe this is what happened? maybe you need an air filter for the air filter?

the only one that's worse was my old 20B #246, when BDC rebuilt it, somehow they got it to wear like .125"!

R.I.P. #246 was good to me

Some days I think about just routing an airbox from the interior of the car.

But then, I'd be sucking dust into the car... not good for the driver. Trying to drive with eyes full of dust sucks. Bloody eyes and tear-streaked mud on the face.
