Break-in is done!
We picked up our MINI on August 9th and I officially broke him in today, just two weeks later, and my commute to work is only 2 miles! LOL

Glad you made it!

I have a 15 mile trip one way to work. Also a great combo of highway and street usage.

Kudos for completing the break in period before the "new car" smell even dissipated!

My drive to work is via 23 miles of twisty backroads with elevation changes and great scenery....
It was very difficult to restrain myself during the 2 week break-in.
