Fan stays on after i shut off car
What the topic says, is it normal? Its my first car but i think its kinda wierd, maybe it's not venting as well with my lower grill insert?
anyone else have this happen? It not all the time, just some times.

Its normal.
The reason for this is simple. After driving somewhere, and then parking it, your underhood temps will actually go up more even though the engine is off. The reason for that is that your engine is still hot, but you now have no air circulation. The fan kicks in, pulls in some cooler air, and keeps things from baking. Dont worry, after a few minutes, it will turn back off when the temp drops enough.

The first time it happened to me was after about 30 laps at the track. It is completely normal but doesn't usually happen unless you've done some spirited driving.
