Default Newbie to S4 / Just bought one yesterday

This is my First REAL car I've been driving some nice cars, but never before a Turbo powered, and I need some advice how to take care of my beauty

The S4 I got already has 5k miles on it and got his 5k tune up..

What I would like to know is what speed and rpm should I push the car for now, do I need to watch out how often I use it ( read some comments about over heating.. ), and I do I need to cool down the car ( I mean let it sit for a few minutes ) before I turn it off and vice versa..

Thanks for your help See ya on the road, of course in my backmirror

Default Drive it hard and as fast as you want to....

Usally, if your just doing "normal" driving, you don't need to let the car cool down.
If you drive like an emu on speed, it would be wise to run the car for 30 seconeds to let the oil cool down a bit and flow through the turbos.

You'll have more miles than me in no time. Only at 5708 after 10+ months
