At least in the northeast, the warm weather means the reappearance of short, tight, women's clothing.
warm weather also means mating season starts

hey Dustin, same thing happened to me about a week ago. Every time I shift within the first five minutes of driving (when I start her below 30 degrees) it feels as if I'm pressing the brake pedal. No worries though it's normal as I checked it out and everything was ok below.

Hey, come on now. It gets cold in SoCal, too. For example, when I was at the track last Friday night, it dipped into the 40s!! Brrrrrrrrr :hiding:

WAIT WAIT WAIT

you mean to tell me...that the temperature can get BELOW 0...in to negative numbers? That's ridiculous. I went to Bear Mtn. last season...and it was 19 degrees. I thought I was going to die.

Well daytime highs are in the 70s here in Phoenix. It's a great time to wash and wax the Mustang.

You obviously haven't spent a summer in Phoenix!! The temp doesn't drop into the 70s for several months! I lived there for over 30 years, and it's brutal in the summer. Many times it is still 100 degrees at 10:00 at night! Winters are great... but the summers are killer.

Now, San Diego... that's another story!! High temp in June... about 65-70. High temp in December... about 65-70. Paradise...

when the car is cold it you try and pull out the clutch at low RPM's and give it gas she bucks you like a nast bronco and the RPM's surge up and down until you rev it up to about 2000 rpms and then she clears her throat.

Wind chill is more of a cold perception measure for us humans, though there are real implications in terms of frost bite too.

In -40 degree weather, your car might well make some horrible screeching noises first thing out.

And in -57 wind chill, driver of said car will most certainly make horrible screeching noises first thing out the door! :-)

In very cold weather (-40+ windchill) I've had the hydrolic clutch freeze up, and the power steering quit, among other things. Problem with the wind is, these components can't warm up, because the wind removes the heat from them as fast as it is created.
That is cold enough to freeze your twanger too!!
