My first 24hrs

I FINALLY got it. God damn I love this car. Pulled out of the dealership about 8PM and started enjoying it. 10 min later I saw some guy checking it out while he passed me.

After driving around for awhile with my friend checking out the commands we thought it was pretty handy that it will find the closests bars for us NO stripclubs though :P

After driving for awhile my g/f told me she had to eat and get ready for sleep since she had to work. So I did what anyone would've done. I hit the drive through and dropped her before driving some more. At the drive through some guy told me he loved the car and thought it was awesome

I'm loving it so far. The only thing I dont like is keeping it under 3k until its broken in. Its soo damn hard to do, everytime I look its there already ..

24hrs and 130 miles of the break-in done.

It looks great. Did you get to keep your stock rims?

Congrats man! I feel the same way about my car. I honestly hate the fact that I have to keep it under... I take it up to 3.5k. Having to keep it under 3.5k defeats the purpose of driving the car.

I just kept mine under 4.5k to 5k and had no problems with the break in. As long as you don't get all up on it you should be good to go for the 600 mile break-in. Enjoy.

3k is too low. 5k is more realistic. Remember, the worst thing you can do to your drivetrain is. to lug the engine. A 3k shift point means you start the next gear below 1.5k.
