My experience with the street car has been great. I've had the same fan in 
there for 7 or 8 years, no probs.

The race car, on the other hand has had two replacements. One was 
mechanical damage and last winter the thing just siezed up. Not sure why, 
but I might have dunked it in Simple Green when I was cleaning the car for 
the winter. But the fan completely siezed up. Either that or ir froze from 
lack of use (as the car didn't move in 2006 and I drive another car in 
2007, so the race car was just sitting for about 2 years!)

At any rate, there's not much that can go wrong with a fan, and even if 
the fan dies, the only circumstance where it would matter would be if you 
were stuck in traffic and not moving. Otherwise they are pretty reliable. 
They're also pretty inexpensive and you can get them anywhere. My last 
replacement came from Autozone.
