[A4] Under Engine Pan

[Richard Hurt]

Mine has been off for years without any ill effect (98.5 B5Q).  Agreed, if
you run over lots of things it might be useful but mine is plastic and I'm
not sure how much protection it offers.  I think it might improve gas
mileage but I'm not super worried about that at this point.

Later...
