Did you see how close his rear tires came to the parking curbs at Randy's?

Being too easy on it or always driving at a constant speed is said to be no good because the piston rings sometimes don't expand properly without variation in rpm during break-in (this includes high rpm, which is why some folks say drive it like you stole it).

Yeah I've been told by my friend to basically drive it like you would any other normal car and not baby it and redline it at times when entering the freeway to develop the pistons. I did just that yesterday and when I parked my car, I can hear the engine making those crackling sounds like every new car does.

BTW, that drift video is ridiculous haha I wish I can drive that well

You waited that long? I tried to race an old lady in her ES350 in the dealer's lot on my test drive with the salesman in the backseat.

I'll take 'em all. They'll fit in my GS, that's why I got a 4 door.
