Default Re: "Breaking in" a new TCH... what to do? how long?

My salesman told me the following (paraphrased): don't gun it, don't slam on brakes (obviously if it's an emergency you'd need to) and don't spend too much time at one speed. I think that was for the first 1000 miles. Made sense to me, not that I ever pay any attention to sales people. The first two are good to follow all the time to maximize fuel efficiency. The third...well, I tried to follow that just in case. In Houston traffic it's rarely possible to spend much time at one speed anyway, other than a crawl.

I'm closing in on 5000 miles with zero problems... Come back and give us a report after you get your TCH. You're going to love it!
