"they've got that idiot fan shroud that should be ripped right out of every car - No, it doesnt make the car run cooler for its being there.... "

Sorry , you are completely off on that one... air works like any fluid.... and follows the path of least resistance... and the path of least resistance is NOT THROUGH THE RADIATOR... which is where you need to air to go...
If that shroud is not there the air will be sucked up from under the car and blown across the engine... and if you are at a stop it will then be RE SUCKED UP and blown across it again...

I hope everyone will leave their shroud IN PLACE...

What should have happened.. was MB and all other car makers should have made the shroud in two pieces,,, and easily removable...
