Now that the weather has cooled off around here in parts of Georgia, I've noticed that my car makes some creaking noises when I'm first driving and then after a mile or 2, stops. Anyone else have this going on?

when it gets cold everything in the car starts to contract a super slight amount. all the panels and such fit a tad looser causing the noise... :\

its why things quiet down once you run the heater and everything starts to warm up.

I love the cold. More power, quicker response, and louder exhaust. But a lot less traction with tires.
