Just picked up my new 914 this morning.

Drove about 40 miles back home at an average speed of about 70. Ambient temp was probably 85 and the humidity very low, probably around 10 - 15%.

My (stock) temp gauge was almost touching the red a good part of the way. Just on the edge of red when I got home.

Should I be worried or do most teeners run this hot in this type of weather?

I wouldn't expect it to behave like a water-cooler but is it running TOO hot?
