Sitting in stop and go traffic you can't really get out and start wiring the fans up to direct current or I will run over you if your blocking my way.

Let's see: Hazard flashers on, hood up. Obviously a motorist in distress. Run me over, hope you have a good lawyer.

But seriously, I have never had a problem in over 10 years with the system. Why change it now?

1 simple switch in the car and you never have to find out.
Don't change yours and don't have a spare tire in the car either when is the last time you had a flat?
And no tools what so ever, when is the last time you broke down????
Your exactly right!!!
That old saying " an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" is stupid anyways.
