Coldest I've seen yet...
<center><img src="http://www.alaskazone.com/images/allroad/winter2003/allroad_neg35fahrenheit.jpg"></center><p>This is the coldest I've ever indicated on the allroad thermo.
-35 degrees Fahrenheit
This was on the road between Eklutna and Palmer, Jan 18th.
Sorry for the shaky pic, but it was cold!

One negative effect
When it gets cold (15°F and lower) - the brakes squeal badly.
Of course, the dealer says:
"well those are fancy-shmancy 4-caliper brakes with high metallic compound pads - there's nothing we can do, they check out fine"
Then again, I am the ONLY person at the stoplight who squeals to a stop...everyone looking around and saying:
"damn fancy-shmancy German cars - my Chevy doesn't squeal"
