New cars amaze me. With them, there is no alternative to replacement parts.
You're stuck with the $50 hose or the $120 gizmo that can only be obtained
through the dealer.
Seeing inventive ideas such as Bob's pot scrubber filter is phenomenal.
The more I think about it, the funnier it becomes that it is a viable
replacement.

LOL!
Anytime someone asks me why I bother with a cranky 50 year old truck,
someone like Bob reminds me: try THAT trick with a minivan!
