Give him the MPG argument. When I first explained to my dad what a CAI does for MPG he wanted one for every car and truck he owns.

I hit a manhole cover....

I "bottomed out" when a manhole cover in the street came up off the street when my car drove over it, during a monsoon. The drainage/sewer line backed up due to too much rain, and the cover hit the oilpan, while missing the crossmember. The oil pan was totalled and the car had to be towed to the dealership to get it checked out. New pan and mounts (as well as a Right Rear wheel and tire assembly) billed to the City of Glendale!

I still have pics of the manhole cover broken in half from the impact with my car. That was a crazy night...

Oh, the car had less than 3500 miles on it, too!
