Normal operating temperature

Finally getting some runs in my 88 convertible.

One question I had was what’s the normal temperature?

Here’s a pic of the temp gauge after a good 15 mile drive on a 88 degree day. Not complaining it’s low, but is it too low?

the S4 runs around 1/4 to 1/3 up on the gauge normally, i wouldn't find that reading too concerning.

I love how all of us have a less than 1/4 tank of gas haha. That's when you know, he's legit.
