NO ____ RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I JUST WANT TO LET LOOSE MAN

hahahah

I had to drop the wedge off at the dealership to have the accessories put on it. I should have it tomorrow. I had them change the oil (sitting at ~750) which I pray to god they did or I'm going to be ____ed. I was very specific about changing the oil.

I'm going to be kind (most of the time) for another 250-500 miles. Get the oil changed about 1500 miles and then it's on for real after that!

Default Break ins

You know far dumber people have bought cars and not even be worried about the "break-in". They just don't care and those are the cars that go for 200k(well a toyota anyway, gm's bite no matter how you do it). They also don't change oil, have never heard of engine coolant, and only realize that the a/c blows cold when the light is illuminated.

I think engineers factor in the "idiots" and that we are all safe. Otherwise why would they call them idiot lights!!!!!

Who cares about breakin anyway, I don't. I will sell my cars when they get between 20K and 40K on them, all they have to do is last that long. :mrgreen:

exactly, who cares about breaking in really? unless your going to keep the car more than 5 years, you shouldn't worry too much, besides, it's a toyota engine! come on, my corolla has 91k on it and it was dunked in a lake, it still runs strong.

i wouldn't freak out about something like this so much, unless your into street racing, i doubt you'll notice the "loss" of power if the rings don't seat properly, besides, we have 5 years (powertain) to see if this motoman's break messes something up. I'm going to drive it nicely and let it rip every once in a while when i get my tC
