Bob,

Why would turning on your fans make a difference?  You thermostat will still
be closed.  Besides, turning on the fans only makes the car cooler (???)

I don't have any of the problems you listed.  You might want to take a look
at the thermostat (warm-up issue), and cold start valve (slow-start issue).
Also, what kind of tires are you running?  I've got the Pilots on my car and
they're fantastic in the rain.  I agree with you about sparing the car,
though.  I've slowly learned to calm the DeLorean "fever" on those
bad-weather days too.  :-)
