Message	When you'd do your run down and then when on the way back doing 10mph or so back to the staging lanes, etc., I'd pop the hood to take in cooler air. Then just picked up the habit coming home from drives when I'm in my neighborhood. Then rasie the hood in the garage. STAGE V++++ Going to XV+ and beyond :) Yellow Z STAGE II Going to XI+
