okay so ive been intensely sick for the past few days (it will be a week tomorrow) and i just remembered that i needed to change the air filter in my integra...

instead of driving all the way to a parts store, is it possible/not a horribly bad idea to just clean out my existing air filter with water or something, let it dry and then just use that?

im kind of concerned about doing that.. but i really dont want to get up and drive around..
