Mike Short makes a good point when he mentions that Larry is
assigning anthropomorphic
attributes to parts of his Pantera.( Anthropomorphism is the attribution
of *human characteristics to machines or animals). **If Larry (or anyone
else) thinks that their automobiles fans ( or any other component ) is not
operating up to specifications they can easily measure the effectiveness of
the system in question. You can easily obtain a variety of devices that
are capable of measuring the actual airflow, rpm of the fan blades etc. As
an example for measuring CFM ( which can be useful for measuring air flow
for cooling or for air intake for the engine** , **Carburetion, **Fu**el
injection etc.) This link shows a small sample of some of the devices

This removes the question of wondering if your car or fans are"tired" and
replaces the *Anthropomorphic attributes with technically appropriate and
scientifically accurate measurement devices. Although many of us like to
assign a name and or a gender to our favorite "Toys" which I believe can
actually enhance the ownership experience when it comes to maintaining
peak operating performance it is necessary to rely on technology and not
asking our Cat " If it's a little tired"

A A A AA A But I noted the online-available PDF installation

A A A the 440

and
A A A black/red for
