1188 Miles...almost there! : )

It hasn't been easy, but I've behaved myself during break-in. I've gotten pretty good recently at hittiing the 4K RPM mark on my sedan, but look forward to really letting her go. My trip home will put me over 1200 miles and look forward to not having to baby my car quite so much. Only bad thing is it's kinda nasty out today...rainy and cool and I have to use the wifes SUV tomorrow to return a pressure washer. Looking forward to this weekend......

I am looking at my crystal ball. I see you going for a 12 mile coffee break in the next few minutes.

Haha, it's a long process breaking in our rides, but I feel it's worth it. Take care where you let it go and enjoy.

Eh... What's 12 miles going to do? I doubt that the engine is going to wear significantly for those 12 miles. Just go change your oil now and get some heavyfootinitus.

I ran 200 miles of errands this weekend! I love how this engine sounds under acceleration....just a quiet WOOSH and a wonderful exhaust note. I also can't get over the way it just pulls all the way to 60 and beyond. So much for my gas mileage...
