Any idea as to why it becomes warm and moist for those few minutes when I get on the freeway?
Are you going WOT/heavy acceleration on that on-ramp? The compressor will disengage during heavy acceleration to prevent damage.

Nah, I rarely if ever have enough space to go WOT here in Atlanta, traffic is outrageous here. Basically normal accelleration down the onramp and about 70 - 75 MPH on the interstate.
