=>I was checking the fluids in the rocco yesterday when I noticed 
=>that the cardboard thing that sits on top of the radiator had 
=>fallen into the front of the car. It was blocking the radiator 
=>from gettin air. In the process of taking it out, I wrecked it. 
=>WTF does that thing do? I have seen metal ones on sale on eBay. 
=>Its like a baffle or something. It directs the wind onto the 
=>radiator? Should I bother replacing it? Will someone have one at 
=>waterfest? I dunno if I am even going yet anyway, but lemme know. 
=>Maybe I will go.
=>
=>Thanks,
