While cruising below whatever speed you weight yours for (mine will be 45mph) the blinds will be partially opened, or if going slow enough they will be completely opened. That means the only time you won't be getting air to your radiator (through the grill), will be at highway speeds. At those speeds the air will find plenty of other ways into your car, to keep your engine cool. During summer and traffic there will still be enough cooling. That was my reason for making it this way. I hit plenty of traffic in my area and here in north Texas it wouldn't be summer if it didn't hit 110F for at least a few days.
