minus-squareAgent641@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·28 days agoDid they cut the grille bars to save weight, or to just make it look like teeth? Of all the things, I would probably keep the grille to protect the radiator from damage, since if it leaks, there ain’t no water in the desert to refill it.
