You ever think of eating a big, fat dick? Im sure you have...Did I ask for opinions about the mode of transportation I use to get to back and fourth to work? Even if I lived one mile from work, I will still drive my TSX, redlining at every stop, wasting as much gas as possible just to piss you off...
Its a PUG you moron...

Not that I dismiss breaking-in procedures, but a few notes anyway;
- The very first day I got my brand new 323 1987, I was late for the cinema and drove it to the floor on highway at 165 km/h. I never cared for the 'break-in' period. The last time I heard about this car, it had 325000km on original engine.
- I tried to find it again without success, but I saw a web site dedicated on why a new engine should be driven hard.
- Against all odds, my aunt's starting procedure was to floor the gas pedal and to fire it up. Basically, the engines started at 4000rpm. Her 1979 Spirit lasted 19 years with the original powertrain ...until it was crashed in an accident.
- Even at that, I will never buy a demo car. I went for a test drive at Acura Trois-Rivières in Québec. The salesman did the first miles and I never saw a new car to be beat so badly and he was overdoing it just wrong probably to impress. He missed a 3-4 shift by going into 2nd. The RPM needle went instantly in the high red zone. It was embarrassing. Apparently, he doesn't care or believe in any breaking-in procedure...

>>I took offence to that post, so yeah, it was necessary
Not so sure what is so offensive about that post.,,maybe missing a smiley.
You take offense when people say you look like your dog & vice versa ?
You been using your pets pic as avatar forever so I assume you're nuts about that animal.
To my knowledge people tend to assosciate avatar with the person in this virtual crap land.
And Im pretty sure I read that study showed people love their dogs to be considered an extension of their persona or something like that.
Not meaning to be a bitch on you just doing my tiny part to keep it a bit civilized round here.
