BTW, you guys who baby the engine, are you hoping to keep the car for 10 or 20 years?

IMO, you might as well abandon that idea and see how it effects your break-in hint-following philosophy. Why?

Because IMO, these cars are going to be a nightmare to keep for the long term. There's too many electronics and software involved and complexity. Parts are/will be obscenely expensive. (e.g. My broken CD would have cost us$2500 to fix).

Something to think about. We have an adding machine from 1980 which _still_ works, but we've been thru a dozen computers since then.
