I was taking 07000 out on a drive today, and on the way to the beach this morning, it ran well, including in stop and go traffic and then side streets - temp reminded at around 170-180 max - not bad considering one fan is out (I have a big fan and a little one on my oversized radiator, and the big one draws a lot of air).
On the way home, things were good, and as I was driving I saw something paper-y come into my lane, but didn't think much of it. As got closer to home the car was running a lot warmer and kept climbing a little bit at a time.
And then now I went out to check on the temp outside and check on the D, and there in the rock screen was a big STARBUCKS paper bag someone threw out there window or lost out the window at some point, and I believe, of course, blocking enough air flow - as it was closer to the driver side, and that's where my one functional fan is.
Now it should run cooler again, all things considered.
