A K&N supporter could always claim that FRAM sells more filters because one K&N per car is all you ever need...

My question wasn't how often, it was what brand of filter do you use. K&N probably wouldn't be mentioned even 3% of the time.

Ummmm you never had a question. I asked 3 different questions and you ignored them and started talking about something different. You said K&N accounts for 1% or less of the total sales of air filters. But now you are changing what you said....

You're not swift enough to set me up with your desperate and loaded questions.

I have already set you up plenty of times. I just set you up a few post ago. I said something about that I had already proved my claim...knowing that you would think I was talking about HP claims, and you responded that you haven't seen my proof and that I hadn't proved anything.(which is exactly what I knew you would put) But remember, I haven't made any claims on HP like you have. I just claimed that my 2 K&N drop-in filters had not leaked any oil and has stopped all harmful dust particles. Should I post the pictures again to refresh your memory. You used to be pretty good at remembering old post. You even remembered one from a year ago. Is something wearing you down. Maybe you need some of that vacation time I was talking about giving you earlier.

Proof? I guess I missed that UOA. Feel free to repost it.

But I thank you for being messed up enough to say your vacation was now being devoted to me.

Exactly, you missed it or what some people might say ignored the questions that had answers that would conflict with your loaded claim.

Exactly....and thats one reason why K&N sells less filters than most other companies. Thats one reason why other companies get more money out of it's customers pockets! I'm glad someone answered the questions. 1stToyota has been ignoring them.....

That doesn't quite add up for their K&N oil filters...that might sell about .001% of the time, does it?

LOL....here we go again with you changing the subject. I give a reason why K&N air filters sells are where they are at and you start talking about oil filters, which has nothing to do with anything we have talked about in any threads. You come up with claims but without any proof and then when someone does have proof to back something up, you change the subject. Like when we were talking about Toyota's and you started talking about Mini's.

LOL coming from the likes of someone like you. I mention the Avalon, and you're forced to paint it as a Nascar, dirt track car, taxi cab, etc...and what proof?...LOL...it's not proof because someone agrees with you and you just desperately need it to be.

It was called sarcasm...we already covered this topic. Do I need to do a review?
