Some of us are courteous enough to not block the road by parking in the grass.

All drama aside from the temp thermostat I run (that works for me), I run a Robert-Shaw aka. Mr. Gasket 160 degree stat, JET 172 fan switch, and my current PROM is programmed to kick my front fan on at 160,
and I run RedLine Water-Wetter as well.

I will be upgrading to a DeWitts radiator and SPAL fan as soon as I can however.
