You may want to check your car too

Yesterday I drove across town and back a good 60 mile drive. Was cruising around 90mph no problem I stopped at a drive-through for something to drink and noticed the a/c was getting warm and the coolant temp was rising. I started to limp it home since i was close by. At 3/4 i decided to shut it down. I checked and one of the fan blades came off the motor. Got it home took the shroud out and there was the nut resting on the bottom of the radiator. I put it all back together and works fine. I checked the other fan and it was loose too. Not sure if this was a common thing or not. Just glad it didn't launch the fan and put a hole in the radiator.

Lug Nuts etc...

It would always be a good idea to check the air in your spare tire too!!
One can Only Hope that you folks have looked through the obvious items of the maintenance log of the Max. Run the air in the tire, run the lights, run the basic operational features. It's like, hello, girlfiend. Check the whole car out. I would never dive one that wasn't checked out.... is your ride ? LOL TP, AT, OL, WIN, ACC. Oh well, such fun... thanks for being real folks

Hey Dave, I grew up in Boise. Was just back there two weeks ago. Man that place has changed! Not sure if I would want to live there anymore though

It's changed a lot since I was a kid!

I had a deer scare the other night, while cruising rather quickly. If it had not been for my cousin calling me right when she did I wouldn't have slowed down and probably would have nailed him for sure.
