Exciting, even at low break-in rpms! I fall into the break 'em in hard camp once I've established she is not making any bad sounds and the first oil change is done (250 miles or so) but everyone is different on this. I don't stomp on it, but keep bringing it higher and higher in the rpms until I am reaching redline. I figure that if everything was put together right and I've checked and adjusted as needed there is no sense in babying it... If it's going to come apart it's going to come apart!

Happy days!

Thanks Greg! I'm somewhere between you and Will on my break-in. Definitely not hitting hard yet.
Here's another vid for you.
My "problem" is I have a 3 mile commute (I know, GREAT problem to have) so I only have very early mornings to put on the miles.

Can't let a little rain stop me...

I figure I don't have a top, so its unlikely I'll need wipers. Except for this morning. :-/

time to work on some electrical mods -- power block and a/f gauge.

Good thing your hair didn't get wet...

I can make this joke 'cause I have the same issue.

Hah! On a highscreen car you can stay pretty dry in the rain provided you drive fast enough.

Great to see it on the road!

I can say from experience, top down, 6'2", low windshield, new seat straps and towing a trailer, (which screws with the airflow) you get totally SOAKED from the ears up. I ended up slouching way down for 35 miles on the PA Turnpike.

Dave, don't blame it on the rain. You were just driving like a homie...

Peter come by, I have a present for you.

When I bought my high windshield, it had no top, and I drove 110 miles in downpour to get it home. I'm 6'2", and I stayed dry as long as I was moving over 55mph. Gotta love it! You should have seen the looks I got on the way!

Looks like another wet morning. Here we go!
