OK - you got your first "search noob" question out of the way .

If you next ask about what oil to use we will send someone around to educate you

Next time go for Italian, the damn Chinese food places always cause the fans to keep going.



On a serious note: it's common for the fans to keep running after you shut off the car. This will happen after you've driven the car quite hard, especially in warmer climates.
You CAN override the fans and turn them off but I usually recommend people just let them keep going.

Give an Asian a cup filled with Ice and hand him a Playboy, then wait 10 minutes.

The aux fan kind of freaked me out when I first heard it (it was 105* out the day I bought mine), but then assumed it was just normal.

Oh, asian ice cream, all it is is rice flavored ice cream.
