2009 MCS is finally broken in...

Well, I waited relatively patiently for the 2000km mark to come and on my way home from work tonight it finally did.

Now I can drive my car the way it was meant to be driven! woohoo!

Just picked up my car from the dealer 1.5 weeks ago. I'm only 10% there. Hope to get there quicker when I get the clear bra installed tmorrow.

I finally hit the 1200 mile mark the other day too. Let just say I do a lot more "spirited" driving then i did pre-break.

Oh man, I remember the day I broke my car in. Even gradual increases in rpm plastered a smile on my face.

The cool thing about the MCS break-in period, though (not sure about the MC), is that you can shift up to 4500rpm (not at overboost, though, IIRC), so you can have fun until you reach 1200 miles.
