Hey!!! Congrats!!!!

I saw that "Passenger Airbag" light during my test drive - KNEW it would be annoying. Hope you figure something out.

Enjoy the car... hope to be joining you soon - "Proud Owner!!!!!"

Its interesting to see how many different opinions are mentioned when breaking in a new engine. :-)

I still think the most common opinion is : Drive normally but not at continuous high speeds for the first 500 miles. Occasional quick bursts of speed followed by quick deceleration during this period, is beneficial.

Scalz,
I already forgot about the "AIR BAG" light, didnt even notice it much today, maybe since its daylight out.
And thanks for the congrats! Post pics when you get yours, I will be taking some pics this weekend of mine hopefully.

Yes, there are different opinions on breaking in a new engine.

I spoke with my sales guy today and he said just drive like I normally would, regular highway speed for now. Just dont red-line it he said. The car will eventually adjust itself to my driving because it has some kind of sensors.

I also think the most common way is to drive normally and not at continuous high speeds at first.

I took a ride to WAL-MART and bought a can of ScothGard Automotive protective earlier, I want to keep the BEIGE interior perfectly clean, especially where the car mats are not places, like near the pedals and on the passenger side. Also bought WINTER rubber mats with large grooves, for the front and back. My BEIGE interior looks very class but definetly wont be fun to keep clean, thats for sure.
