[DML] radiator air flow

["Marvin" <marv@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is related to the radiator air flow - an interesting thing happened to me when I drove that cold, snowy, day to the wake of Mr. DeLorean in Detroit.

The slushy ice and snow caused a blockage of the lower front grill on the car. I watched the temperature gauge begin to climb well above the 1st line. Normally, it runs slightly below that line, even on hot summer days. What I found interesting was that regardless of the outside temperature, the radiator / air temperature could not cool the engine suffuciently. Once the ice was carefully  knocked out of the mesh, the engine temperature returned to normal.

The moral is, don't have that grill blocked even 20%.
