Keep dreaming about cars the last couple of nights, so I googled if you still gotta "run in" a new one. "1000 miles, vary the RPM but keep it under 4k, and for christs sake stay off the boost". Well. Fuck me. Reckon i can pay extra and get the dealership to do that for me? There is no way in hell I'd be able to drive off the lot and not light up the turbo, only been dreaming about this (so far) for 15 bloody years! And before you say "but TinyBreak, just drive up and back to Sydney". they specifically say no long highway drives. So you gotta take it up the hills and NOT play with it. I may need to recruit the mrs, though not entirely sure she'd behave herself either.
Just think of the money you will have wasted if you ruin your new engine straight away. Patience is required.
Its (or it will be) a subaru. Its preruined in the factory 🙃
