[s-cars] 117 degrees ambient

[Richard Tanimura]

Well, just to give a global perspective to Audi living, it is 57 F outside
and raining in Sweden. We have had cold rainy weather the last 10 days or so
but this is the kind of weather S2's just love. The wet gives us an edge
over the BMW's and Porsche's in the corners and the cold lets the induction
system just pig out and suck cool air.

Rich, trying to find something nice about this weather

Ahhh, a black car in the Phoenix sun.  Weekend trip to the valley and the
temp was 117.  Ecru interior, I hail thee.   Car was sucking wind and liking
the 15w-50 (in spite of the recent talk of lighter weight oil... one day
after I buy 10 quarts of M1 15-50... *sigh*).  An FMIC with misters felt
mandatory...

Brakes were really squealy in the heat.  Brake dust was almost "chunky"...
could a few degrees (or 50) make that big of a difference in the pad
compound?  I finally nailed most of the squeal with anti-squeal cheez whiz
but now I'll try again but go crazy with it on the pad backing...
