How bad was your cabin air filter when you replaced it?
Bought my car in October of 2012 and today I removed the cabin air filter from the glove box and was shocked to see how dirty it was. I didnt drive my car in the winter and recently started driving it again full time in March. I dont go through any dusty areas or construction sites. Is it normal for the cabin filter to get dirty really fast just by normal highway driving?

As a tech, I've seen some really bad ones. I pulled one out of a Murano with 70k miles on it. I think it was the factory one. It fell apart as I pulled it out.
