Congrats Stickman - where are you in CT - maybe we'll pass on I-95 one day!
Took delivery 2/1/09 & now at 900 miles.
FWIW - the last new car we bought (in 2005 but not Infiniti) said NOT to use cruise control at all during break-in. So, we've decided to wait using CC until 1000K.
Our salesman said "no break-in period on the G37x - just drive it" - however, the manual does have particulars re break-in so be sure to check it out.
Oh, and our salesman is no longer with the dealership! I called him yesterday, (as per his instructions when we hit 800 miles - to schedule replacement of break-in fluids) -only to be told he's gone!
Enjoy!

I live in the Hartford area! Also about the break in period I don't know what to believe except I haven't really gone over 4k rpm yet!

Yes, that seems to be the biggest thing to avoid.
Last week, I pulled over to remove my jacket (car seems to get warm even with the heat off!) & left the car running. When I got back into the car, my foot hit the gas instead of the break! I'll bet the darn needle spun around several times before I realized what was happening. What a roar - at first I thought it was another car!
So, should you ever leave the car with the motor running - take extra care when getting back in. I think the gas pedal is a bit close to the break pedal....thankfully, I had it in park as there was a car in front of me!
