Its that magical time of the year....

....when the weather gets colder and the car starts pulling harder. Nothing like the summer heat and your A/C to drain priceless HP from the Max. The cold weather is making the car feel like a whole new machine. I personally hate the cold but it sure makes driving to class A LOT more fun.

Cold air, plus the stock lightweight 16" wheels. Feels like a different car altogether. Brakes better, rides better and pulls harder.

Yeah I love the extra power but it's not much when I can't use it when there is snow on the ground

The cold air does wonders for my car, the exhaust even sounds better and it pulls soooo much harder once it's warmed up.

Bless the cold. You guys in ATL know what I am talking about. Now I can walk my UGA campus and get to class without looking like I just finished playing intramural football

Best part of all ... I can break 300 miles/tank
