Yeah thats it, LOL If they saw you coming they'd tell you that the break-in is the most tender moment in a cars life......then laugh when you walked away. I've know most of these guys for at least the last 10 years and one for the better part of the last 25, I can personally atest that the engines they have built for their personal cars haven't received any special 1200 mile "break-in" period. People should drive more and worry less.
