Thanks! I am loving the color combo, it's perfect for me. The al. trim is great, no fingerprints or dust shows. I'm hauling teenagers so I need all the help I can get.

Did you track your car? Mine came in on Daedalus Leader. I had fun checking to see where it was, although most of the time it's on the open sea so no info.

Break in is pretty standard, no hard starts and vary speed on the highways, etc. until 1,000 mi. I think? I'll have that in 2 weeks, lol

 

very nice and congratulations!!!

 

cool...welcome

 

great color! congrats to you

 

Congrats. Have fun!

 

From the manual:

1st 2,000 mi

Preferably take longer trips
Avoid frequent cold starts with short distance driving whenever possible
Avoid full throttle starts and stops
Do not exceed 4,200 RPM's
Do not run a cold engine at high rpm either in Neutral or in gear
Do not let the engine labor, especially when driving uphill, shift to the next lower gear in time
Never lug the engine in high gear at low speeds. This applies at all times, not just in break in.

I also read this (not in the manual), which I've done instinctively at times while on the highway:

"Some experts recommend romping the gas pretty hard during break-in (full throttle) but not to a very high rpm...and then let off the gas and let the engine drag itself down into a high vacuum situation. This "thrust" and "drag" on the piston surfaces is supposed to give a good range of break-in wear points. High performance motorcycle guys are fond of this method."

I'm going to ask about changing the oil at 3,000 mi. They said "see you in a year" but I've also heard it's not a bad idea after the initial wearing in.
