thinking of driving to vegas...
ok this is kinda spontaneous. my friend is celebrating her 21st bday at vegas this weekend and most everyone is heading up tonight. i do wanna go but since my car hasnt even broken in yet (ive only hit 150 miles so far), should i take my TSX up?
i figure itd be the quickest way to get a quick 700 miles back and forth. go or no go with the TSX?

you could, but if it were my car, i wouldn't. i'm guessing you'll be taking the 91 to the 15? maybe you can take the 57 to the 210 to the 15. anyway, driving to vegas on a fri night will probably take at least 7 hours, of which 2-3 of them are really slow (damn near bumper to bumper). plus there are a lot of uphill areas where you'll have to higher rev (3-4k) just to keep above 60 or 65mph. not the best way to start off the break-in process. catch a ride with someone.

It depends on how religious you are about breaking it in. When I picked up mine I had a 120 mile drive back home from Palm Springs. I varied my speed and SSed it between 4th and 5th to make sure the engine got to see all the revs up to 3000. It was a PITA and you should have seen the looks I got ("its a new car dude, why aren't you going faster?").
On the other hand, some will tell you "drive it like you stole it, its a Honda". I would heed sleeper's advice.
