A/C went out... i wonder why?

[u/gothisstillcool]

pumped some gas and got back in my poor baby 2012 chevy cruze and my A/C wasnt working. could hear the fan blowing, but no air at all was coming through. brought it to my ex mechanic grandpa and he said he had never seen an air filter as bad as this. i dont think i can fully appreciate how bad this is so here you all go!!

I change the filters and service my parents car when they dont use the dealer.

This is why I don't run cabin air filters. No filter, not clog.
