Also, as a side note, I read your Mustang buying trip thread for the first time. Both that and Z ver 2 is awesome. I think I want to do a trip for my next car purchase Seems like its worth the drive.

My questions though, is that a bad break in for a car, to drive it for 900 miles at more or less constant highway speeds/rpms/gears?
I don't think it's bad for the car. They are pretty much broken in from the factory. I just make it a point to vary speeds for the first leg of the trip.

I have 1,500 miles on it now. Changing oil this weekend. Going with Mobil 0w40.
