I remember whining...

Agreed!

$50 sounds awfully expensive for an air filter, considering the materials used to make them. Is there something special about them that I'm not aware of?

Gotta admit, that CHEAP HOLDER GRIPPING the rod REALLY DOES LOOK CHEAP! C'mon, Ford -is this really the best you could do?!?!

Are you sure, Dann? Have you actually tried?
