Default I Feel A little Bad.......well not really...=)

I beat the hell out of my car today........ I know its built for it, but shes got about 400 miles on her..... =) See, i kinda had no choice in the matter....... i was at a party and i was giving people rides, so of course it gave me a reason to drive it hard... But everyone that i gave a ride to almost crapped themselves lol... So just curious, when did you guys start to drive your cars hard?? How many miles?

as soon as the supercharger kicked on at 15 miles from the alternate calibration....I drove it like I owned it....wait..I do...you get my point...its a sportscar that as the salesman, service manager and owner of dealership told me as I was getting ready to drive it off the lot...these dogs like to hunt....(Translation for any non southern terminology folk: these cars LIKE to go fast) I read in the owners manual, and service manual as well as at the advice of the dealership.....nothing in there about break in period with exception of the supercharger alternate calibration, the dealership stated quote" if it breaks....bring it back" ok ok,..,before anyone starts preaching to me about life of the car and longevity etc...please note...my way of driving hard is probably not as spirited as some...but I did not wait....heck the 2nd day I had the car I put on over 200 miles on a mustang cruise with members of MF. albeit we were not going insane, we weren't exactly being choir boys either....anyways...enjoy your car..
