Xringer: I like the headlights. The car comes with DRLs, and lets the driver decide whether to run them or not. I actually use the second headlight setting (DRLs plus corner lights, headlights off) for city driving at night, when you need lights to be seen rather than to see.

Yes, that trumpet thing is the engine air intake. As you can see, it's not positioned to try to take in cold air. For fuel economy, you want your intake air temperature as high as the engine will tolerate. 120°F is a safe bet.

Daox, what time of year do you remove one piece of foam from your grille? How fast can you go / how hot can it be outside with a 100% block?
