I feel like I just watched an animal cruelty video.

That guy needs to be beat to a friggin' pulp!! It was probably a rental.

And did he say his MOM taught him how to do a burnout???[:-]

 

HUH???? The computer won't be used to "what"? All they do is adjust for whatever conditions that are happening when you drive.

If this were the case, if I took delivery of my Mustang in 0 degree weather, would the computer remember that and fail to function correctly when it gets to 90 degrees this summer?

Just follow the owners manual. I'd say most people vary their RPMs and speed in just normal every day driving, anyway. I'll probably hold off on redlining mine for a few hundred miles and probably won't take any long trips using cruise control either initially. That will be about it regarding break-in, though.

 

My stang is my baby. That was child abuse.

 

Basicly, all 05's come pre-broken in. As long as you vary up the rpm's as mentioned before, you're ok. As a matter of fact, an OCCASIONAL redline between 500-1000 miles is perfectly fine. Someone above mentioned don't use cruise control on the freeway 'til its past 1k miles. This is correct. You actually could use cruise, just change your speed a bit to keep the rpm's varied.

 

OK I think I am OK, I just pushed it a little the night I got it. Not very smart but I lost my mind. I will not cruise at the speed so that's easy to do.

 

That car had to be stolen or he is just a idiot. No way in hell would i ever treat my car to that kind of abuse.

 

Not Volvo. BMW 320i, Cam, Pistons, Ported, Polished, MSD ignition, custom distributor, fifth computer controlled injector in throttle body for top end fuel flow. Full out suspension mods, 25 sets of tires have gone to their grave, number 26 set half done with life.

Runs strong, runs at 5/6 grand RPM's for extended periods on long grades. Never lets me down.

So, SON, take a hint from dear old Dad.

 

Ok I'm impressed, thanks for setting me straight you worried me in your last post, I apologize and I will now give you the respect you have earned. Good louck with your 05 and your BMW, I will take it easy, I just got a little excited when I got the car and wanted to see if it had all the "goods" that I read about about for a month. My father is 80 years old and he would probably smack me on the side of my head if he knew I was beating on a brand new car so let's just chaulk this whole episode up as experience learned in a couple different areas, deal?

 

Deal!!!

I just believe in break 'em in, warm 'em up, treat 'em right, give them quality care, best lubricants and they'll be there for you. Look at www.tufoil.com The Machinst that built my engine said it is good stuff. The way my engine runs, a little "four banger", 126,000 miles after he built it speaks for itself.

When I went for my first test drive at the dealer my new car had less than 200 miles on it. The salesman jumped all over it (to impress me I guess) and didn't seem to worried about a break-in period. I've got ten thousand on it now with no problems.
