Ok, I dont know where all you guys live, but around here its really starting to get cold and the A4 is loving it. And theres this really big straight hill going up to my house thats about a 1/6 (lol yes a 1/6) of a mi long with a about 5% grade. Well, I can most times get up to about 67mph on it but latly about 74mph. Lows about in the mid 30s here what about you guys?

We've been in the 40's during the night and 70's during the day. Fall seems to be setting early this year. I'm in Indianapolis. Our leaves are changing already, about two weeks before they did last year. I agree, cold air is good!!

I agree, the cold is helping a lot!

I was cruisin last night and I noticed my car was absolutely lovin the cold air. Acceleration was much more aggressive. I figured there was something about the cold air that cooled the engine allowing it to push harder...the details on this might be nice to know.
