You have more patience than I....I had my fun at 604 miles. I just happened to be on a 5 mile long bridge (no cops!) and blew it open....

But at the same time is it going to kill him to wait another 400 miles
The peace and mind is worth it IMO. Then again 618 miles > 1000 km so I think its safe to let it rip, at least according to the User Manual.

How have you been driving it so far. Breaking-in the engine doesn't mean keeping it under 3000 RPM until 1K. It means slowly, in measured steps, taking it higher and higher in the rev range. If you've covered 600 miles and never had it above 3000 RPM then I certainly wouldn't wind it up to red line all of a sudden.

My TSX has 580 miles on it, but it's at the dealer getting the I-VES installed today (I saw them working on it, very scary). So I has a white TSX loaner. Decided to see what it can do (it had over 1000 miles, so I guess it's broken in). FUN!!
